I’ve decided to move the Data Generator script to a separate site. I’d like to improve it to include a lot more functionality – including more country support and languages, and I think it’s time for its own home.

I pestered a Latin prof from UVic about “testumdatum.org” to ask if it was an adequate translation of “test data”, but sadly it wasn’t. [The Latin reference was intended as a pun on lorem ipsum]. She nicely suggested “dataprobandum.com” as an alternative, which was great-sounding, but after much hemming and hawing I selected generatedata.com. Rather boring, but clear and memorable.

I actually won’t be working on this for several months, so this is something of a premature announcement. I’ll be busy with a contract with Salvation Army for quite some time. And then there’s Open Translate… gotta get that sucker finished.
