Why not do it?\n\nI've also given some thought to the concept of \"trashing,\" and using geo-located dumpsters as a kind of marker for an adventure/collaged narrative from the various documents or manuals that my \"phreaker\" finds on their various trashing runs. As such, physical security could be a variable in terms of site selection, deterring my narrator from attempting to \"dumpster dive.\"\n\nThe setting would almost certainly need to be the '80s in an urban area; probably the area of New Jersey where Bell and its various cognates resided for some time.\n\nOne barrier I see is finding the right data source. Given that I _know_ DC has an open dataset (a bunch of them for people interested: [opendata.dc.gov](http://opendata.dc.gov)) for trash removal, there'd be a more convenient setting in DC. The New Jersey data I've found in brief searching doesn't quite fit what I'm looking for.\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/NaNoGenMo/2016/issues/comments/257470808","html_url":"https://github.com/NaNoGenMo/2016/issues/24#issuecomment-257470808","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/NaNoGenMo/2016/issues/24","id":257470808,"user":{"login":"tra38","id":11179090,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/11179090?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/tra38","html_url":"https://github.com/tra38","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tra38/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tra38/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tra38/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tra38/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tra38/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tra38/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tra38/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tra38/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tra38/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-11-01T01:49:22Z","updated_at":"2016-11-01T01:49:22Z","body":"I will say that I am currently hyped up for this project. I *shouldn't* be hyped up for any project, because hype is the first step on the road to disappointment...and hype is way too common in AI research. But the amount of content that you are planning to add might provide enough variation to keep a person interested in reading 50,000 words. The biggest problem with computer-generated stuff is the feeling of repetition, but this can be alleviated by collecting more text and variations by which to continually surprise the reader. If you are able to have enough stamina to collect enough words, I think this project could be a success."}}
