MoodMixer

Today a web site I wrote the backend for went live. The MoodMixer for E4 generates "relaxation tracks" that are thinly disguised as advertising for that day's television (or was it the other way around?).

It's a nice mix of Python, sox, and lame, with the speech systhesis done by AT&T's NaturalVoices after discovering that festival is pretty good at sounding like a robot but not great at sounding even vaguely like a human. 115 people have used it so far, and from looking at the logs I see that everyone in the world but me has a Hotmail account.

"Shafting" is slang for sex.

"Tipple" is slang for a drink, usually alcoholic.
