Time for Reading

Ludwig Wittgenstein's »Tractatus logico-philosophicus«

I fooled around with this amazing text some ten years ago.
(Cf: "W.III – Das Sprachspiel", a game involving a set of dominos and a copy of
Wittgenstein's tractatus; © 1990 N. Landsteiner, M. Rauchensteiner)
The online version of the »Tractatus logico-philosophicus« was originally produced as
an example for an online reading application and has been around for some years.

Enjoy a chat with ELIZA.
Cf.: elizabot.js – a free JavaScript chatbot engine. This is an object oriented JavaScript
implementation of Joseph Weizenbaum's famous ELIZA program. As the "ElizaBot" library
utilizes configurable data, it is also a general purpose chatbot engine.

My first JavaScript: Remington-demo.
To see where this has let to, have a look at our UNIX-emulator JS/UIX.
