This is the WordPress plugin version of the “Random, Out-of-Context fj Quote-Thing.” As can probably be figured from the title, it displays a random quote from a text file (by default, the “fjquotes.txt” file on my site) in the upper right of your admin screen on every page. The concept (and, indeed, much of the code, simple as it is) is ripped off from the “Hello Dolly” plugin by Matt Mullenweg that ships with WordPress.
“fj and I had a chat this morning about the end of civilization (he sent me that wiki link, which precipitated the discussion). Anyway, that links to technological singularity (or vice versa, I forget). This discussion reminded me that for a class I took during the Spring of 2004, I had to write a program that plays tic tac toe. Technically, I should say “we,” since I had a partner, but I wrote the program and he did the manual enumeration of a tic tac toe decision tree. I think I picked the easier half of the assignment. If you want to see the tree, too bad. You’ll have to do that part of the assignment yourself.
The class was ‘Cognitive Engineering;’ it was all about Turing machines and Turing tests such. This assignment related to the cognitive aspects of problem solving and whether or not a machine could duplicate them. It’s a very (extremely) simple AI. So noone can ever say that I didn’t do my part to help bring about a technological singularity. Maybe that’s not such a good thing.”

From the XMLJourn Project Site:
“XMLJourn is a Journal/Weblog CGI script written in Perl that uses an XML datafile. XMLJourn is comprised of a viewing script, an update script, and a DTD/XML datafile. XMLJourn is designed to be simple, fast, customizable, and entirely self-contained. The only requirement is Perl; XMLJourn uses no modules or external programs. XMLJourn doesn’t even require a webserver; it allows CGI arguments to passed through the commandline. XMLJourn should work in any environment that supports Perl. XMLJourn’s datafile format is open and adaptable to different purposes (ie, Journal, blog, News .. any kind of listing application). XMLJourn provides a web-based updating interface for easy updating.”
