I found this after googling some random word I heard in a dream. According to the server
report it is hosted in Atlanta, if that helps.

It is either code or gibberish. Note how there seems to be no words that appear more than once.

Good point. Hadn't thought of that.

I put the first paragraph into "Detect Language" on Google Translate and our master codecracker came out with...... *Drum Roll* English. Seeing as the words don't repeat, perhaps it's a language with a very strange and extensive case system. Either that, or it's a conlang. Or aliens. Probably aliens.

It's just randomly generated text folks (notice how every post contains an additional space before the final full stop). :)

After reading a couple of paragraphs I was thinking something just felt odd. Then I thought about typing in some of the words into the find command but never found a word that appeared more than once. It would seem very weird for someone to write up a blog in pure gibberish like that though. You do get people out there who are into codes and encryption, could well be this is some kind of blog written in code for only those "in the know" to read.


...or it could just be gibberish and someone is laughing like crazy at the attempts some people make in an attempt to explain it. :p

So is it some kind of template? Like a sort of lorem ipsum type thing? Why would someone
do this?

Just randomly chosen vowel and consonant patterns by the looks of it, with intermittent punctuation and paragraph spacing. I imagine they initially toyed with the idea, and then decided to keep the script running and generate lots of pages for a laugh to elicit people's curiosity, which seems to have worked! ;)
