Exams are over, the sun came and went, I got a first (hurrah!), a job for a couple of months and now it’s just .. working out what now? Completing Chrono Trigger is my first priority :D
Spent some time moving the last.fm charts thing to Python, because Python is tasty, PHP is clumsy, and matplotlib is a superb piece of kit.
Here’s a histogram of the number of tracks I’ve listened to each week for the last few years:
(x is the number of tracks in a week.) I looked at a few friends’ and there seemed quite a split between those roughly following a Gaussian distribution and those following something rather more exponential. I should experiment with different features of matplotlib, maybe narrow those bins a little. I’ve lots of little plans for other graphs and combinations.
Finally, there’s a great little piece about a quirk of the number 1/89 here. Sum the numbers of the Fibonacci Sequence in the following manner:
.01
.001
.0002
.00003
.000005
.0000008
.00000013
.000000021
.0000000034
.00000000055
.000000000089
.0000000000144

.01123595505... = 1/89
The link has an outline proof about why it’s true.
