Wayne, I’m marvelling at your technical abilities — I wish I were that conversant in this very special language and with the silcon-based gewgaws (I’m pretty good with the silcone ones, hehe), skills which enable us to communicate with all of the plastic people of the universe or those flexible Gumby-like critters who might one day emerge from a silver flying saucer to save us from our overspending selves. Soon come, soon come.

I have made a point to follow your e-moves and i-shakes more closely. You have a rejuvenated new ally in the Golden Village of Prague. (Just pretend in this case I’m Morgan Freeman — the Muslim — in Prince of Thieves — what a great introduction, was it not?)

Your man on the saintly cobbles,
Guarding the eastern approach,
Straddling the Benes-Stalin Line,
Oh yes,
ADM

Abs, no problem!

BlondeBlogger, I’m sure it will show up next time

Tug, oh the drama of it all!

Janna, what can I say? I’m a good typist. but seriously, tho, I can type REALLY fast. Haha, just kidding. anyway, about my typing, I’m awesome.

So while I disclosed what I did for my tweets, using someone else’s tool online (TWSS), I didn’t list out everything I did for my blog. I use wordpress, and I’m self-hosted, which means I have access to my blog database. wordpress uses MySQL and there happens to be a web front end so I just used it to export my posts database to excel. Did the same with comments. Then once in excel, I highlighted the ‘titles’ column, copied it to clipboard, and pasted that into wordle.net’s site.

For posts and comments, I wanted to clean it up some, so in between highlight column and pasting into wordle, I used a text editor (vi is my favorite) to collapse all the upper case letters to lower case, get rid of the urls, and remove some repetitive-yet-unhelpful words. THEN I pasted it into wordle.

Since you’re on blogspot, I don’t know what they offer in terms of backup, export or getting your actual source data. But I’ll give a crack at it and see if I can’t get it via RSS or do a fake conversion of your blog. Then I’ll make up a bunch of words and repeat them in there.

For those who are technically adept, here’s the set of vi commands I used once I copied and pasted from excel:
1. Convert upper case to lower case
:%!tr ‘A-Z’ ‘a-z’
2. remove all links in the middle of a tweet
:%s/http:.* //g
3. remove all links at the end of a tweet
:%s/http:.*$//g
4. remove “new blog post”
:%s/new blog post//g

Avi, yeah, it struck me as cool as well.

sizzle, sometimes I just stare and look for meaning.

Poppy, Styx and stones may break my bones but Poppy’d never hurt me. Besides, no-one pushes my buttons like Dave2. See below for proof.

Ren, you are on a two-word limit, Mister!

Dragon, thank you for dragon your browser over to my blog and reading along!

Hilly, I guess I’m supposed to be all humble and whatnot and say ‘oh it’s not that hard’ or ‘it’s nothing’ but sometimes when I say that I make people feel bad. Usually it’s because I’m glaring at them when I say it. But I’m not now!

Dave2, hmm, “important”? or “common?” haha. Ahm sew funneh.

anyway, you have a good point about the LOLcats. I noticed that there was “lol” and “cats” but I realized also that I don’t hardly ever actually use the word “LOLcats” in posts, titles, tweets or comments. I had removed the URLs and image tags also aren’t included.

But if I were to somehow analyze the keywords in my images names, I might get an altogether different wordle. hmmm.

Ok, here’s what I did. I parsed ALL the image tags of all my posts, got the filename for the images I use, replaced any non-alphanumeric junk and WHAMMO I now have a view of my images

One thing I noticed is you can right-click on a word and say “remove and re-layout” which is interesting…

Winter, scratch

Janna, I take the blame. And I’m more of a “Energy” Zest cuz it’s must fresher. I don’t want to be lemony and I definitely don’t want to be le monkey.

Raganator, see above. And thank you, “my precious…..sssssssssss”

and of course your blog is good; it’s the only 1 I read on a regular basis.

my time is precious
