Basile Bouchon
Basile Bouchon () was a textile worker in the silk center in Lyon who invented a way to control a loom with a perforated paper tape in 1725. The son of an organ maker, Bouchon partially automated the tedious setting up process of the drawloom in which an operator lifted the warp threads using cords. This development is considered to be the first industrial application of a semi-automated machine. The cords of the warp were passed through the eyes of horizontal needles arranged to slide in a box. These were either raised or not depending on whether there was not or was a hole in the tape at that point. This was similar to the piano roll developed at the end of the 19th century and may have been inspired by the patterns that were traditionally drawn on squared paper. Three years later, his assistant Jean-Baptiste Falcon expanded the number of cords that could be handled by arranging the holes in rows and using rectangular cards that were joined together in an endless loop.

The Library Of Babel (website)
The Library of Babel is a website created by Brooklyn author and coder Jonathan Basile, based on Jorge Luis Borges' short story "The Library of Babel" (1941). The site was launched in 2015. Contents of the website According to Basile, he "was lying in bed one night and the idea of an online Library of Babel popped into my head." Basile quickly realized that an actual digitalized Babel Library would require more digital storage space than one can imagine. To get around this limitation, he designed an algorithm to simulate the library instead. The Library's main page contains background information, forums and three ways to navigate the library. These ways are to have the website randomly pick one of the thousands of "volumes", to manually browse through the library, or to search for specific text. Due to the library's Infinite monkey theorem-gibberish-like contents, there is an "Anglishize" feature, that points out words and clumps of words. The library's content is divid ...

Pierre Basile
Pierre Basile (died 6 April 1199), also named Bertran de Gourdon and John Sabroz, was a Limousin boy famous for shooting King Richard I of England with a crossbow at the siege of Châlus-Chabrol on 25 March 1199. King Richard, who had removed some of his chainmail, was not mortally wounded by Basile's bolt directly; however, the wound resulted in gangrene. Basile was one of only two knights defending the castle and was renowned amongst the English attackers for his appearance: the castle was so ill-prepared for King Richard's siege that Basile was forced to defend the ramparts with cobbled-together armour and a makeshift shield constructed from a frying pan, much to the mirth of the English besiegers. It is perhaps this dismissive attitude that led to Richard taking little precaution on the day he was shot. Although there are numerous variations of the story's details, it is generally agreed that King Richard ordered that Basile suffer no punishment (and, in fact, that he be paid ...
