I’d like to suggest a good way of determining if you spend too much time posting on the boston fixed forums. Specifically the Fixed Connections discussion page.

One would be if your username appears in the graphic below. Deadbolt, Conor, (E)stratton. You all made the top 3.

How this works:

Basically, Wordle.net allows you to visualize the frequency of a word’s use by the size of it’s font. I just figured out how to use Automator to steal texts from websites, and so after I had cleared out the repeated headings with search and replace, I pasted my result into Wordle. The text log of the discussion page started on December 30th because I was aiming for January 1st, but had to choose the nearest whole page.

For those who spend too much time on the fixed forums (bostonfixed.us), this graphic may come as no surprise.

For those of you whose names are above, I have to say that I am impressed. Especially for deadbolt and conor whose usernames were used/mentioned as many times as the word “man” and “night”, more than “harvard”, but slightly less than “go”.

Kudos.

Click the icon above for the original Wordle.

After doing the original, I went back and got rid of month abbreviations and “saw” and “bike”.

Same pattern, but now we see some other people as well, once the noise is reduced.

More Names revealed!

I also really like how Motherfucker is one of the more common terms. Ah, awesome. I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I do.
