    No, it's not a popularity contest. It's fucking freaky, is what it is!!

    P.S. How'd you figure that out? Was is a script or something? See -- I'm such a fish out of water that I don't even know what it would be called!!

  • Shucks, and I'm only at 32 :P

    Every now and again, I sometimes wonder why someone fans me, considering that I tend to make nothing but snippy comments. =)

    Of course, I'm not complaining! :)
    • With the exception of one person, I also wonder why some people flag me as a foe. Maybe because they also get fed up reading said snippy comments. Again, it doesn't bother me if they do. :P
    • nah, I only friend people that have journal's I want to read. I just mod up friend-of-friend to see their posts in comments easier.

      I know I have wasted quite a few mod points on you, though :)

      • Well, as far as I'm concerned, you're friending people for the right reasons then so you can read their journals. Not that I have any say on what "right reasons" constitute to people :)

        Lately, I have had more free time, so I'll probably have time to read stuff and post some comments.

        BTW: mod points are appreciated, it's good to know my comments mean sonmething :D

    Very neat. I'd recently been pondering (probably due to things like Orkut, FOAF, etc) the idea of getting some sort of script to spider /. collecting stats on the interrelationships, to try to graph it all, such that it'd be possible to see various groups, and who the real /. VIPs are (Wil Wheaton excepted, I found a few of those statistics a little surprising).

    For one thing, I'd long wondered if "the JE circle" was the only such group of any significant extent on slashdot, or if there were others I wasn't

    • Well, I didn't only ponder about it, I actually started coding it. Not that I ever finished it, but well, I started. I gave about up when it came to the "graphical" part: I suck at graphics ;-)

      I personally already find it quite astonishing that I have over 100 fans. Oh, well, I also like to slack and reading journals is perfect for that.

      Oh, and FWIW, I have 30 fans.

      That's incorrect: you have 31 fans... ;-)

      • Hey, if you can do a graph data structure of the relationships, I think someone else here can probably find a way to think about visualizing it. I'd volunteer to give it a cut, but I never have time for my own stuff.

        And of course, we're talking about a directed graph here; you don't have to be my friend even if I'm your fan :-)

        If you got the data, you can plug it into a spreadsheet and get your graphs from there.
      • Oho! So you managed to get scripts to interpret the relevant slashdot pages? I suppose I could have done that too*, but it probably wasn't too trivial, so well done! As for the graphics, well I'm hardly an artist, but I seem able to do very simple graphics code at least.

    And Bethanie? It's not your swearing in the subject line that gets me. You're a woman after my own heart, and we need to stick together!

The people with journals are the people who do the most friending and they find most of their friends in their own journals and their friends' journals.

      Or, you could go the boring route and post comments in other people's journals. That's what I did (without the intent of being a friend whore) and it worked out okay.
