  • Friendster whoring

    Me to a friend of mine: “People with around 80 friends on the damned thing are borderline Friendster addicts. Over that, and they’re probably just friend-whoring.” (This was about a month and a half ago)

    Mental note: Bring a jacket. I’m freezing my ass off here. Grr…

  • Firsts

    So, the first day of my first job has finally ended. All I can say is that it was fun. =) I got to play around with Kannel, learn the Nokia CIMD2 protocol, met several interesting souls, and generally enjoyed myself (even if it was work.

    Spiffy new version of LogJam being used here.

  • Java IDEs

    If you ever have to use an IDE for Java, I suggest you get Eclipse. On this system, Eclipse performs pretty well, considering that the core runs in Java. SWT apps will always leave Swing apps in the dust, IMHO.

  • Finally fixed...

    This is ridiculous. WTF am I doing friend-whoring/surfing/whatever on Friendster?

  • I’m currently browsing my “personal network” under Friendster. Someone should do a paper on the implications of Friendster and similar tools as abstractions/models of the social network hyperspace/graph. Heck, that would be an interesting study— mapping social networks into hyperspace. Issues include navigation of such a hyperspace as presented by Friendster and related applications, and how other models/etc. can be used (i.e instead of HTML and hypertext, why not use visual cues via clustering? or navigating the social network hyperspace via interest clusters?)
