Network Graphs for Letter Substitution
I wrote to my main man Anders Sandberg, noted Transhumanist scholar from Sweden, to ask him to apply his l33t skillz of data visualization to create the dungeons for my Lojban Online Roleplaying Adventure. He whipped out a Python script overnight and sent me the PDF the next morning. And of course he's blogged about it at great length, applying the letter substitution graph to the English language!
I would like to resume learning Python. What I learned of it from my German Lojban-speaking friend Timonator I understood quite well, and it's pretty cool to know a programming language. It's becoming more useful these days as I spin off more projects that need it. There's a new flashcard program (a sentence-length alternative to Mnemosyne), a game, and a debateware.
When we get our debateware up and running, it's going to be released to the world under an open license, and I suspect and hope it will do a lot of good. I will be very proud.

Your third link above points back to your own blog, probably you instead wanted to link to http://www.aleph.se/andart/archives/2007/01/letter_substitution_graphs_and_percolation_theory.html.

Ah, yes; Livejournal defaults to forwarding to itself when the user neglects to include any URL in the tag! *facepalm*
Thanks.
