Of no relation to the Generator.x project, the Generator Blog is a gathering place for software that generates content according to simple rules. Or in their words:

Some sample generators: Word Generator, Dummy Text Generator, Cat Name Generator. A definite classic, the Blog-o-Matic Generator generates blog entries of the angsty rant type popular with personal weblogs.

Most of these generators utilize simple text grammars applied to a problem of limited scope (i.e. creating a plausible cat name). A more ambitious project of the same type is the Postmodern Essay Generator, powered by the Dada engine for generating random text from grammars.
