Tweets
- @JosephGalbo Really hard to categorize tweets based on keywords, just because there are so few of them in a tweet... 14 hrs ago
- Though it is categorizing any tweet with the word "fan" as "sports" (wrong!), but not my only tweet ever with the word "sport"‽ 14 hrs ago
- This says I tweet mainly about education, technology, and... healthy living (?)... fun topic-izer of tweets: http://165.124.128.196:8000 14 hrs ago
- @lrainie As it is, each time I start a class session with "Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin..." fewer and fewer recognize it. 3 days ago
- @lrainie It's hard for me to do anything menacingly, and I'd try it for a classroom entrance, but I suspect the reference would be lost... 3 days ago
- @lrainie That is my new goal! Channel Omar more often :). 3 days ago
- @lrainie Reducible in part to "who said it wasn't already all a game"? :) 3 days ago
- More updates...

Informicant crawler v0.3a
By popular demand, I’ve put up a windows version of the crawler I’ve been using here. Have fun with it, if you like. It’s very much as-is. It’s bunches and snippets of code thrown together late at night. I hope to take a clean run at it over the winter break, providing better integration with [...]
Office hours
Once again, I am going to have people sign up for office hours this year. It seems that they still stop by when I am working, which is cool, but this way they know that I’ll be there and they will have my full attention. I’ve also put up the (super simple) script I use [...]
Reorganizing my library
I’m sick of misplacing books and not knowing if they are at work or home, or not being able to find them on my shelves. I’m rearranging my shelves at work sort by LC number. Now I want to move the library search online. Anyone have experience with Pybliographer or the MARC21 module for python? [...]
Informicant Crawler
Enough requests have come–mainly as a result of the ICA presentation–to use the Informicant crawler that I pretty much need to get working on making it more usable. Since Maria and I are starting on a new project that makes use of it, this will be a good excuse to re-examine the crawler itself, and [...]
Ch-ch-ch-changes
Scripty snippetness. I wrote a script to help out some of my grad students, and to feed into a larger project. The script checks weblogs.com every 2.5 hours and updates a local copy of an updated blogs list. Not sure why anyone would need this, except maybe to build into a project of some sort. [...]
InterAlta
George wants to look at hyperlink networks between countries, using AltaVista. Others have done this, but I was very resistant. It seemed to me that AltaVista probably had significant deficits in terms of non-English pages, as well as coverage generally. Furthermore, I wasn’t sure you could trust the “we found 34,222,534 links” stuff. Further yet, [...]
