Hah!  The ministry of automated abnormality!

ETA:  Yeah, I tried the PD dictionary a while ago, and it was pretty close to complete.  I deleted it though, because it kind of ruined the fun.

One project waiting for a coder is the Robotic High Weirdness By Mail Project,

thread: http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=20922.0

the tl;dr version of the idea though is:

The bot's job is to send weirdness by mail to random strangers.

Once every 24 hours or so, the bot would check a paypal account to see if there's 50cents in it. If there is, it will randomly pick an address from a list, then mail that person a randomized postcard using postful.

People from the web can donate money to this fund, or submit addresses which may or may not randomly get mail.

the idea is that the target will get a sort of surreal, unique post card with no explanation, no answer to the great question "WTF?"



another thing I'm looking for is a ning coder. If you can figure your way out around OpenSocial, I would be dying for your help to design stuff for the Dreaming LARP website.

I'll look into both projects! I Have a few ideas to test with PayPAL so I'll experiment with that :) I love the Auto-Bot project it sounds hilarious!

Oh what ? Really :(

Yeah.  It's more fun to say IWDYAFY and not be understood by the target.

Oh epic! the PayPAL SDK has a function called GetBalance(), I'm going to test that :)

edit : and it totally works!!

GetBalance - 331.54 AUD (This is only a sandbox account)

You can also make Auto-Payments using the API :):)
