So I’m beginning to mess around with the jQuery javascript library. It has taken me a while, but I finally have free time. This thing can do everything. I have a feeling my blog is going to become a lot prettier. I have a little test on the site right now that you can see – its just a simple stylesheet switcher. It is incredible how easy it was to implement. If you want to play with it, look at the bottom part of the sidebar for the ‘Style’ menu, and you can toggle between the default, and a zenburn-like design I’ve been playing with. It is mostly just a proof of concept for me, and I don’t intend to leave it there forever. I think eventually I’ll have it set up to change automatically depending on the time of day (really white webpages are brutal in a dark room).

What if a programming language could be made using nothing more than the English language? No, I’m not talking about something like Applescript which just replaces programming syntax with words, but I’m talking about a programming language which could actually understand English.
I don’t think this is as difficult as it sounds, at least not the creation of it. The hardest part of this would be making definitions for words in the English language. I would hope that such a creation would use something like Wiktionary, which uses collective input to establish a definition. I’ll be looking into this.
I want to learn more about linguistics; this sort of thing fascinates me.
