[meme, toy] New Year LJ Toys

[jrising]

Yoinked from siderea:

In 2007, jrising resolves to...

Overcome my secret fear of lucid dreams.
Backup my hypnotism regularly.
Take metagenie unschooling.
Volunteer to spend time with politics.
Apply for a new parecon.
Ask my boss for a chocolate.

Get your own New Year's Resolutions:

I'm still trying to figure out how it knew about my secret fear.

And here's an LJ toy of my own. Below is the graph of the total livejournal activity of my friends over the past year. On the left, each point represents someone's [public] post, with the height being the number of comments. The right shows a bar for every day: blue is posts, red is comments.

I'm really curious about the bar graph: the post counts vary by day of week but are fairly constant over time, but the comment counts seem to come in long waves (must do longer-timespan analysis!). I built the toy to possibly do some nifty word frequency analysis or subject vs. comment count comparisons-- but I'll do that later. If you want a graph of your own, or have other fun ideas of extensions for this analyzer, just comment below.

I would like a graph. :P

I've noticed that certain times are better for getting comments--certain people have a habit of posting at different times, but Monday mornings seem like a good time to post... I think. I forget.

I would like a graph. :P

Well here are four-- these are screen sized; if you'd perfer them another size and don't have your own way to do it (or if you want a bigger size), just say:
little_e_e's activity (http://www.existencia.org/files/little_e_/little_e__a.jpg), little_e_ and friends' activity (http://www.existencia.org/files/little_e_/little_e__fb.jpg), composite activity (http://www.existencia.org/files/little_e_/little_e__fc.jpg), weekly variations (http://www.existencia.org/files/little_e_/little_e__wk.jpg).

I made a graph of how many comments post's got by the day of week for all your friends, and it peaked on Tuesday and troughed on Saturday. The weekly variations graph above is just for your posts (and based only on post date).

If you post these to your LJ, please include a comment like "To get your own graphs, leave a comment at http://jrising.livejournal.com/32049.html (http://jrising.livejournal.com/32049.html)".
