Visited Marcus' ChaosSeminar.  [0] He talked about three projects
he had worked on during the last months.

The part on Speech recognition with CMU Sphinx  mentioned  Markov
chains.  That reminded me instantly of the book ``The Practice of
Programming'' by Kernighan and Pike. Actually,  the  only  sample
program from the book that I can recall is the one that uses Mar-
kov chains. Probably that's because  I  thought  it  was  clever.
Right  this  evening, I had to have a look at this section of the
book. It includes implementations in C, C++, Java, awk and  Perl.
The awk, implementation (which I find most interesting) is only a
few lines long. [1] Feed it with some sample text  and  pipe  the
output through fmt(1)!
