‘The Mortimiser' is something I’ve been chipping away at for a few months now.

It uses the Bob Mortimer naming formula of ordinary first name with a noun/nonsense/mundane word. Who will you be today? Kenneth Warhammer? Agnes Buttery?

That's all it does. Nothing fancy!

@jonhicks This could be put into excellent service as a name generator for animals up for adoption at rescue centres. Who wouldn't want to adopt a cat called Tim Tetrapack or Bob Console Error?

@jonhicks To be honest I'm now considering getting another cat purely so I can call it Bob Console Error.

@marcthiele @jonhicks I see this and then Marc’s next post is about talk titles for @btconf and I’m wondering if Marc is using Jon’s tool for generating talk titles?????

@rem@front-end.social avatar

@dletorey give it another 5 years, and we'll have fully sentient AI who will have these names and will be available to speak for X gallons on crude oil (which obviously is what AI drink and eat…) @jonhicks @marcthiele @btconf

@jonhicks Perfect. In serious need of laughs over here, so this is well timed. For v2, maybe a discreet ordinary/mundane flipper so I can seek variants of my fave Mortimism, Passive Matthew.

@colly nice idea! 👌

@jonhicks Great stuff says John Shagger. Perhaps include a copy or share button?

jonhicks,
@jonhicks@mastodon.social avatar

@lachralle I’m realising that now - but such a feature may be beyond my skills. I'd love to find a way to do that

@jonhicks This is good stuff.
