Stacey, The Lightweight Content Management System

February 5th, 2012

Browsing around the web the other day, I found a clean, lightweight template system called Stacey [http://www.staceyapp.com]. The layout and look is very straightforward and uncluttered. Using a subset of HTML tags, the most interesting feature is that it does not rely on any database — it is completely text-based. It’s also opensourced at github [http://github.com/kolber/stacey]

I wonder if anyone has found this useful or flexible enough to recommend this system over the other template systems out there.

Applying Sentiment Analysis to the Bible « OpenBible.info Blog

October 19th, 2011

What happens when you look at the language in the Bible, try to determine who’s happy and who’s not, then graph it all out?

OpenBible.info has done just that and posted a nice, circular graphic showing the ebbs and flows of positive and negative vibes in the Bible. It’s a pretty vanilla linguistic analysis, and the circle is just for aesthetics (see the author’s comment to the post), but it’s still interesting. Accurate? That’s another question — one that I’m not so positive about…

Text Editors in The Lord of the Rings [Kieran Healy's Weblog]

July 31st, 2011

Relating text editors to The Lord of the Rings… Clever…

Kieran Healy’s Weblog – Text Editors in The Lord of the Rings.

The list makes clever use of reality and fiction. I wonder what JEdit would be?

Which text editor do you use?

OT/NT Refs: Source code now available on GitHub

July 9th, 2011

If you’re interested in seeing the code for the OT/NT Ref graph, I’ve posted it to GitHub: balinjdl/OT-NT-Reference-Map – GitHub. All source files are there, along with a README, LICENSE, and sample graphics. I’ll continue posting about the development here, but code changes will only be updated on GitHub. Enjoy!

OT/NT Refs: Development log, entry #5

July 8th, 2011

otnt-rev8Completed

  • Added layers (Quotations, Allusions, and Possible Allusions are all on separate layers, independently controllable (see below), as are the book arcs);
  • Added panning (click-and-drag to move);
  • Added keyboard event handler (to toggle visibility of layers (“q”/”a”/”p” for 3 link layers, “b” for book arcs, “c” to recenter view*, and “r” to reset view to initial state*);
  • Added zoom (“+” and “-” to zoom in and out, respectively)

ToDo

In priority order:

  • Add book labels
  • Fix intermediate point calculation
  • Post code to Github
  • Add basic interactivity [zooming & panning]
  • Add advanced interactivity [to show links for a specific book (a la http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2007/12/15/us/politics/DEBATE.html)]
  • Add columns for each chapter (why?)
  • Add mouse scroll wheel zoom handler
  • Add the allusion links and possible [allusion] links
  • Set up correct Z-order (handled by order of function calls)
