Hey everyone I found what I believe to be Jeff K’s unofficial homepage…

http://www.somethingawful.com/jeffk/

Don’t worry Jeff, we know its not you, this kids spells way worse than you do! ;D

#2

Lol, nice!

Perhaps the oh so powerful moderators can put in a spelling feature for Jeff :wink:

#3

U suk, d3wd!

Seriously, quite funny. I wonder if he knows he’s being a stereotype or if he just is a stereotype :slight_smile:

#4

This is one of those things that is so painful it is brilliant. He cannot POSSIBLY be making those typos by hand… I wonder what filter he ran it through! Oh, so evil! ;D

#5

Ok, now someone has to create the JeffK Sentence Randomizer. Plug in a sentence, out comes Jeffspeak!

I made a small change in the program to let it read from a file also… cut and pasted some real Jeff posts into a file, corrected the spelling and then let the file pass through swpalmer JeffFilter… and here is the result…

Org Jeff Post

JeffFilter output

Org Jeff Post

JeffFilter output

I know these to posts by Jeff was properbly one of the most spelling correct posts by Jeff. I remember some post in the old forum that I had real trouble to read, but back then I was new on these forums and didn’t know my Jefftalk as I do now :slight_smile:

So I think the JeffFilter program makes an incorrect version of Jefftalk. I have studied Jefftalk abit and has seen that the characters often shifts with more than one position more often than the shift JeffFilter does, also it seams that in Jefftalk random characters seams to be placed in words where they shouldn’t be. So maybe I will try to update the JeffFilter some day ;D

But other than that good work swpalmer, your code could be the beginning of an universal translator between english and JeffTalk 8)

The updated code to read file

ROFL!

If I were Jeff, I’d be proud as heck ;D ;D ;D

#9

That’s fantastic! Now you need to rig Eliza into the back end, teach it all about microbenchmarks, and we’ve got ourselves a Jeff! ;D

#10

hehe… you guys are so funny. i think maybe sometime soon i will try and create a crappy AI of myself.

pretty interesting code tho…

#11

Any goons here?

#12

Now that you’ve made english2jeff translator, how about jeff2english translator, that would be much more useful :wink:

#13

That great!

I’ve typified the errors myself but Im impressed that, not only have you gone so far as to write a filter that reproduces it but that it does a pretty good job.

The only problem is that you’ve broken my security… now anyone can post claiming to be me :stuck_out_tongue:
