The Joy of Sparks 2016-05-08

This weekend's IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf featured some Joy Division inspired t-shirts:

Which made me think of sparklines again. So, I made a Joy Division inspired graph of activity in indiewebcamp IRC over the last 90 days:

The code is in unmung. It pulls from the Indiewebcamp irc logs, and walks back 90 pages. Timezone is UTC-7 (PDT) as thats what the logs are in. I use 15 minute intervals for bins, giving 96 points a day, which seemed to approximately match the spikiness of the original.

Inspired by @iwontsignuphere and @jkphl, I made #indieweb Joy Division themed sparklines http://www.kevinmarks.com/joyofsparks.html

Kevin Marks

@damiengwalter @guardian you should ask @iwontsignuphere - it was her shirt

Rachel Andrew

For the second time that is not what I was asking.

Anika Saigal

What. Cool. That joy division cat shirt. Any spares floating around to buy? @jkphl

Joschi Kuphal 吉

It's @iwontsignuphere's one — not sure where she got it from!?

I did the punk album cover one for cyclic charts (which is only fair as they nicked it from Jocelyn Bell Burnell in the first place) kevinmarks.com/joyofsparks.ht…
