Debug and todo list
April 24th, 2007I made a todo list in the form of a mindmap. There are other informations in there, not just about this website. But I limited the info about my job and personal life, and tried to make a fairly complete list of the ideas I am thinking of implementing in the near future on this website.
Today I mainly did some simple debugging. I introduced a couple of filters to make sure that the files uploaded were .xml and .mm. I know they are not going to stop the bad guys, but they might stop the mindless ones. I am starting to understand why there are so many warning signs in this society! I also started to work on map 6. I tried to make a map of the first 500 posts: no luck. 400: idem; 300: same same; 200: nop; 100: no again; 50: YES! So the first 50 posts could be mapped. I think there must be a couple of different problems with this map. First a character set problem. Second a size problem. I will first try to work on the character set problem. Then I might tackle the size problem. The problem is that if a map has n tags, I need to make n dictonaries of size n. But I suspect that I might simplify the whole thing taking a n*n matrix. And if not, do we really need to map all the tags? I mean the tags follow a power law, of those n tags probably 50 are relevant, and the rest are just the long long tail. Tags with only one entry. Maybe I could, for example, only consider the tags that have more than one post. That might actually work. And the result might even be nicer.
