"""
A demonstration of how to deal with object-specific random number
generator states. One application is if you want two objects to
work with the same pseudorandom sequence but don't particularly
want to generate them in advance, or to replicate results after
serializing and de-serializing an object.

    Samples N binary variables using the product form distribution given in

Hinton diagrams are a handy way of visualizing weight matrices, using
colour to denote sign and area to denote magnitude.

Simple script I whipped up to dump MSN Messenger logs in XML to a readable

Messenger it's compatible or incompatible with; I just had a specific
