		<description>An interesting thought. There are already algorithms for determining how similar two words sound, so that would be doable. However, is there &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; any demand for a special software that basically generates and maintains a list of made-up words? 

On the other hand, I&#039;ll admit I know nothing aboud disaster-preparedness, so perhaps there is a market. If you think the idea is worth pursuing, feel free to contact me (see the link in the main menu) with a more detailed description of the app should work. I might cook something up in my free time.</description>

		<description>This has an application in intelligence and military operations - assigning operational names which are memorable - but don&#039;t accidentally give away the storeby revealing the associational reasoning by which people pick names. 

In less adversarial contexts - I&#039;m involved in disaster planning - it might be quite useful to be able to design memorable word-combinations in order to designate locations, grid coordinates, unit designations, etc. - especially if &quot;sound-alike&quot; combination could be eliminated - since they&#039;ll often be transmitted by voice - under less than optimal conditions. 

Even more so - if we were able to take the outputs, assign definitions, and generate directories. Some of the entries, rather than names, might be designations of text strings - much like the telegraph abbreviations of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. I cannot estimate what it&#039;s market value would be. But if it were reliable and user-friendly - I&#039;d certainly promote it in disaster-prep circles - and in a disaster best practices compilation which is currently underway. 

However - to the extent I could afford it - I&#039;d certainly be willing to pay for a license.

Just a  thought. Nice work.

		<description>Hey,

Check out this &lt;a href=&#039;http://programming.has.no.com/2007/11/10/php-markov-chain-class/&#039; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;PHP Markov chain class&lt;/a&gt;, it should be easy enough to create a plugin based on it. 

Personally, I am focusing on other matters at the moment, so I don&#039;t have time to make a plugin like that.</description>

		<description>Hi,

I like some of your plugins. I&#039;m interested in a wordpress markov chain plugin.

If you know one or want to build one for payment, please contact me with price etc.

Thanks!</description>
