Title: #lunixmonster - A Visual Social Network
Post by: Lito on April 27, 2004, 08:41:07 PM
You'll see 'Himeno', my bot, idling in #lunixmonster from now on.  She produces these babies: :o

(http://lito.thezazi.net/lunixmonster-current.png)

Its a visual Social network of the irc channel.  This is what it produced after monnitoring the channel for about 3 minutes.

[edit1]
I'll upload a new one and overwrite the old one every so often.  So check THIS post for updated webs for the network

A wabbit sandwhich, everyone on the outside is bread. Inside is pickles and mayo and wabbit be the meat!

Archi is the toothpick you throw away because you accidentally bit.

archi hasn't said a thing yet.  the reason he's disconnected is because there was a setinfo with his name on it, and in the same setinfo there was another one about chanserv.  So its not perfect, but its still damned cool.

Anyways, the bot monitors set channels continuously, and makes a drawing every so often.  I could make it so that you could talk to Himeno directly and ask her to send a copy of the most recent drawing to you, but i'm too lazy to change the password right now.

The web is made up based on the strength of the relationship (aka how much you talk to a certain person)  The more you talk to him/her, the closer your nodes are together, and the thicker your blue line attaching you together is.

The most obvious way she monitors this is through direct contact.  For example,

[22:54] <Sonic^> okey dokey Lito , rightey dokey Lito skip
[22:56] <Lito> stfu, sonic

Himeno would read that as direct contact because names were noted in the message, and she would draw the web accordingly.

of course, there are other methods, such as who is currently active in the channel and how much they talk (one would assume to eachother), and she would strengthen the relationship binds to them and show them on the drawing.  etc. etc.

Will it pick up on nicknames? I talk to AgentOrange quite often, but I just call him 'AO', or 'Hunz' for Jhunz, 'Holy' for Holy_Devil, etc.
Title: #lunixmonster - A Visual Social Network
Post by: Lito on April 28, 2004, 05:50:55 AM
well think of it this way.  If you, AO, and Jhunz were very active in the channel, Himeno would assume that you're interacting with eachother, and would draw the map accordingly.  She ignores: Chanserv, herself, and 'and' (someone changed thier nick to and, and it created some data inaccuracies.

Obviously, the more you talk, the more lines that are connected to you.  and it makes sense to have the people with the most people interacted with to be in the middle of the web in terms of effectiveness of the readablilty of the web.  I'm near the middle because when everyone first saw this thread last night, alot of people asked me alot of questions, which is why it looks like i'm in the middle.

I'm currently tracking #ns and #ncrclan as well as #lunixmonster.  I'll post #ns's web tonight so she can chart some information about the daylight irc-ers.

Yea, I had tried that before, it wasnt very nicely.
To get it to work correctly, you have to prefix the persons name on EVERY message you send them, and it has to be their exact name, which makes it kinda suck

Will you people ever get it? :p

Being around and chatting when other people are chatting will get you on there. Its just directly naming people has a bigger impact.

it would be great if it tracked people by hostmask and displayed their most often used nick ... i see a bunch of people on there 2-3 times
Title: #lunixmonster - A Visual Social Network
Post by: Fewlio on April 30, 2004, 02:28:35 PM
Olo, once I get back to idling there will be 30 of me on there ^_^, because I was using a mIRC script which displayed irc nicks and I had like 40 of them, and the person after me had like 34 hafaf, and you could make it do hostmasks or by nicks. You could also specify nicks for each person, but that took a long time. It didnt make any webs though, just graphs olo.

But yeah the nick thing is gonna be a problem because ones I regularly use are: Fo0L, Fo0L|fud, Fo0L|game, Fo0L|ns, Fo0L|food, Fo0L|nubcaek, Fo0L|eat, Fo0L|snax, Fo0L|steamed, and uhh whatever I happen to type in when I do one of the following olo!

The picture is not updated in realtime.  The picture is drawn and saved to a folder.  I upload the fresh copy every so often.  Check the bottom of the picture for time drawn.

Yeah, and i got too lazy to keep erasing "you" and "and" from it, so i just left it.

Hey look there i am! If I'm connected to the middle but stick farther out than most, what does that signify?  And does direction (N S E W) mean anything?  Just curious.

Clashen: If you are inactive for a long period of time, then yes, Himeno takes you out.

Torque: I don't think so.

Ulatoh:  Do me a favor, and go DIE.
