shit nobody but me cares about

My reannotator, what there is of it so far, works. At the moment, that's just the bit that reads the reannotation information into an STL map (and a very complicated map it is; typedefs are my New Best Friend), but hey, it's crucial, and it's functional. I also grabbed myself a stemmer -- in case anyone else needs one, it is worth noting that PC-KIMMO is a morphological-analysis C library in its own right, but the site's weirdly silent on licensing information -- as I anticipate I'll need one when I start learning subcat frames off the Penn Treebank. (That's not the definition of "learning" where the knowledge learned goes into my brain, by the way.)

Tiny bites at a time seem to be the way to go on this thing. Next step: write the bit that reads in Brown-tagged text, splits it into word-tag pairs, and does the first reannotation pass off the map. Then: write the bit that disambiguates tags like TO and the being/having verbs. Then: work out how to automatically build a frequency table for subcategorisation frames that appear in Penn.

And then the real fun begins.

But now I have to go decorate my stairs.

On a wholly unrelated note, I should have found those Harman/Kardon speakers I wasn't using and ziptied them to my canopy bed long ago.
