iLyricise

Barney here from Cambridge UK. First time at Record Time, and I'm not writing music for it. I've decided instead, to use the week to learn how to create an online gadget which helps people randomly write songs. Could be useful for further speed composition projects. I've decided to try and build it as a Google gadget but haven't got a clue about them so have spent my first hours of record time learning. So far I've created a Google Gadget which if you add it to your iGoogle page, brings up some text. Astonishing. It's like the dawn of the web all over again. My aim tomorrow will be to see how I can get the gadget to trawl through copyright free text material online and pull it in somewhere, munge it around then spit it out again. I'm not sure what I'll have by the end of the week but there's a good chance my brain will be fried. I'll call the application iLyricise on account of not having enough time to think of anything better. If you want to add it to see how it progresses here's a link.
