The Joy of Sparks
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.
