extracting information about people based on how they manage their fb profile

find the most connected person
within the graphpool, see the level of exclusiveness (number of terminal ends, no friends exposed)
number of open nodes – can see all of their info
its a tree structure but how many connections to back up the tree?

The Systems Analyst at Work, in steps

admin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 01:34:04 +0000

according to careers-scotland, there are several roles a systems analyst will fulfil. I paraphrase.

talk to users to find what the problems are & what the org wants to achieve from a new system
a detailed study of the org ensues – staff interviews
look at the information and design a system to meet the needs; a costed spec of how it works the buying and the training
then liaises with the coders to make it

it is done. from 1989 to 2009 – 20 years in the making.

freecycle now on the web

I remember the days…

when you popped your stuff on the email list and a stranger would arrive, take your stuff, you chat for a while and off they pop.

ahh… bless.

Now you can forget the email list and do it all straight on the puta.

neat.

Lets say Dweck is right, people have a fixed idea of who they are. Its not surprising, then, now that a new assessment will come into play which could possibly contradict that notion of who I am. Any chance of delaying that contradiction, would push away the time of the eventual pain of realising I am not quite the person who I thought I was.
