    Prereadists

    It seems as if I've lost a couple of prereaders! It's almost like I can't just disappear for months on end without people losing interest in whatever it is I do. Shameful! If you too would like to follow in their footsteps and eventually wander off in disgust, let me know!

    The following things are difficult and/or frustrating at this general time in my life

    1. Writing
    2. Buying a house
    3. Working through the entirety of Friday afternoon
    4. Keeping the dinosaur happy in the springtime. Why does typing anger him so?

    Pre-reader(s) wanted

    I am trying to write again! It's difficult, for a few reasons. One is time, a second is the seething hatred I develop for any of my work that's more than a day or two old. Together, these make for an endless discard and/or rewrite cycle on any project I attempt. In an attempt to break out, I'm trying something new and awful: chapters.

    More stats thoughts

    It's probably a symptom of my profession that I tend to go nuts with datasets. Either that, or I ended up where I did because of the existing predilection. Whatever - there's a chicken and an egg, and as long as they're both accounted for it doesn't matter which one killed Colonel Mustard in the library.

    Minor chart thing update

    Fixed an issue where the script would take its ball and go home when there was no data yet on brand new stories.
    Fixed a potential thread lock when the user's system date is in the past.
    Fixed an issue where data for the current day was not displayed.
    Modified favorites accumulation timeline to take into account the listed total when it's greater than the number of favorite events received.

The stat graphs are for shit · 2:42am Jul 31st, 2014

Seriously. Are you seeing this?


Seems legit.

So I wrote a userscript to replace them!


More data series!


Selectable data series!


Ratios!


Also this graph!

Maybe I'm the only one who gets upset by SUBPAR GRAPHING. It helps that I don't actually write, and thus have more time to find things by which to be upset. Regardless, if there are kindred spirits out there (among the twenty-seven of you, which, by the way, is super cool) who would like graphs wherein the data actually matches the gridlines, I can clean this up and make it available. Let me know.

Looks like graphy fun.

In what thing do you run it? Is it, like, an app? 'Cause I think that would be pretty cool!

There are plugins for various browsers (Greasemonkey for Firefox, Tampermonkey for Chrome, others for others probably!) which allow you to supplement the code of a given website. This script replaces the graph display on the site - the new graphs just appear where the default ones did previously.

This sounds both cool and useful. I typically run Safari, but if you've got a Firefox or Chrome plugin/script/greasemonkey doodad for this, it would definitely be awesome of you to clean it up and offer it.

I will hopefully get a couple of hours this weekend to get it out of weird science phase.
