You're very welcome!

[bertine.livejournal.com]

it rules!

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

I like the absent graph, because you can see the clusters of people better.

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

For instance, if you look at my absent graph, you'll see the whole lower left are only MN/WI people.

I think that is very cool.

it is cool. you can see the whole robotskull grouping, the friends of patrick and my sister friends.

then everyone else.

[watashi-no-desu.livejournal.com]

but... I'm lower left. What's MN/WI???

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

Minnesota/Wisconsin

There are a few strays. Like wi_c should be over there, but the graph algorithm positions the nodes (friends) based on the interconnections + a little randomness.

I so want to colourize it. Maybe it'll be my evening project.

[watashi-no-desu.livejournal.com]

Ooh, stick me down for UK colours then!!

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

I think I'll do

Windsor
UK
East Coast US
West Coast US
Midwest (a surprisingly large list)
Southern US

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

But I don't have any Australiasian friends!

[sand-in-my-soap.livejournal.com]

[sand-in-my-soap.livejournal.com]

[sand-in-my-soap.livejournal.com]

sad but true, i'm a geek, and a dork, and I often wear white socks with black shoes...

Re: 6 Degrees of B

[bertine.livejournal.com]

i always had a thing for black shoes with white socks.

[watashi-no-desu.livejournal.com]

Do me do me do me!

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

Okay, but only if you promise to send me a postcard!

[watashi-no-desu.livejournal.com]

I absolutely swear and promise :)

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

Okay, the first is the interconnection with you in the graph
http://www.stevecantsmell.com/~steve/graphs/watashi_no_desu.png

This one interconnects all your friends without you in there:

[watashi-no-desu.livejournal.com]

Wow, that is astounding, thank you!
How did you manage to do them so fast??

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

The user _eman wrote the actual program that parses the LJ data to create the nodes to plot. I made a wrapper that iterates a username list to create plots of the data with and without each username.

If I want to add a person, I just add them to my list.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

that is so awesome!

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

Oh wait. Maybe it was darxus

http://www.chaosreigns.com/code/

It was _eman who pointed it out.

[phaedie.livejournal.com]

you lucky gal, this is very cool.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

it rocks

[watashi-no-desu.livejournal.com]

I thought of this very icon today when talking to my personell manager.

[ludomancer.livejournal.com]

I'm so isolated. :o

[bertine.livejournal.com]

well, we don't have many friends in common!

SPEAKING OF FRAKY MAPS...

[sand-in-my-soap.livejournal.com]

Just received this one, it's actually quite an eye opener

Re: SPEAKING OF FRAKY MAPS...

[bertine.livejournal.com]

that is totally disturbing!

Re: SPEAKING OF FRAKY MAPS...

[sand-in-my-soap.livejournal.com]

the weird this is someone actually took the time to map that...hopefully it'll wake a few people up. Maybe I'll do a pie chart of W's time in office -vs- the time we've spent in one war or another....

Re: SPEAKING OF FRAKY MAPS...

[bertine.livejournal.com]

yeah, that would be interesting to see.

[heidi-13.livejournal.com]

this is very cool!
Mine would not be nearly so interesting

reminds me of a certain 'circle of sin'
Joey is still a hub...
hmmmmm...

[bertine.livejournal.com]

i keep collecting people too.

actually i think about that 'circle of sin', a whole group of people i know would be interesting to map out. i am, thankfully, not a hub though i am tied into it.
