A set of blog posts about writing Annales:

Annales: the gory details in three parts

1. Vocabularies: using a neural network, Python and regular expressions to generate a nonsense vocabulary
2. TextGen: a Haskell combinator library for making up randomised sentences (plus a one-paragraph explanation of how the State monad works!)
3. Events: in which I get bogged down writing a succession algorithm, but also figure out how to correct a typo in a randomly-generated text
