Re: Shakespeare, Monkeys, Amazon EC2
I tried leaving this as a reply to Jesse Anderson’s A Few More Million Amazonian Monkeys but the blog comments are broken:
This is fundamentally pointless–there are only 27^9 (a-z and a space) combinations to run through. If you can do maybe 1M/s you can do them all in ~62 days. A better question is why, unless you hate the universe and want to spend our computational power producing entropy?

Yes, I found out the comments are down. I didn’t want to mess with the site during the project to figure out why the comments aren’t working.
Aren’t most things on the Internet fundamentally pointless? I only hate the universe enough to unleash this project on it for a few days.
I do like the pretty green graphs
