infundibulum

About me

January 12th, 2005

Hello there, my name’s Patrick Hall.

I currently in the midst of a startup project (with John Hall and Jonas Galvez), that has to do with translation and the web. I’ll be talking about it here in a bit.

What’s an infundibulum?

“It’s the Latin word for a funnel, derived from infundere, “to pour”, plus the ending –bulum which formed the names of instruments. “

I really have no idea whatsoever why I picked that title.

Me and my ever-so-ironic Coke shirt in Thai.

By the way, I like email. If you like talking about Python, Ruby, NLP (please, don’t talk to me about that other NLP nonsense), Language, Linguistics, Translation, or stuff like that, my email address is in the pic above.

    Hi Pat,

    unfortunately i am not able to detect your mail adress in your picture as you stated on your about page.

    I’d like to contact you to talk about using your language recognition algorithm in my blog. The main language will be in german, and most of the spam that lands there is in english, so i could at least guess that a comment is spam if it is in english.

    My blog will be developed in python with django, but my python skills are not as good as i could port some ruby or c code to python.

    Long words, short sense: would you like to provide me with your algorithm in python?

    I would appreciate very much if you would contact me.

    Kind regards,
    David Zerrenner
