This blog is supposed to be a collection of random, unrelated, little ideas, thoughts, and discoveries, which I assume to be helpful to a negligible part of the world's population and wish to share out of pure altruism. If posts appear really weird, maybe you have the wrong kind of humor. Many of the posts are science/technology related. If you are opposed to that, stop reading here! Comments, criticism, corrections, amendments, questions are always welcome.

Graphviz Diagrams
The following images show regular 5x5 grids with a nearest neighbor, ring or complete topology:
I recently found out that drawing these kind of images is easily possible using Graphviz and Python. A small script that automates creation of these images with arbitrary number of rows and columns can be downloaded here. The script creates a .svg file, which can be conveniently postprocessed with Inkscape. Usage of the script is as follows:
python ./graphviz_grid.py <num_rows> <num_cols> <ring|nn|compl> <outfilename.svg>
python ./graphviz_grid.py <num_rows> <num_cols> <ring|nn|compl> <outfilename.svg>

Measure your fame!
It recently occurred to me that Google Plus shows the amount of accesses on every G+ profile. Greatly amazed that Google Plus facilitates so much narcissism, I wanted to track the amount of accesses to my profile over time.
Here are two small and very simple scripts that can be used to record and visualize the amount of accesses for a G+ profile.
g+.py downloads the current amount of accesses from a G+ profile page. I recommend making a cron job that executes it daily. It is also possible to track other people's 'fame', since the amount of accesses of a G+ profile is public.
g+viz.py simply visualizes the recorded amount of accesses over time. The practical value of these plots is that they can be used to estimate how much resonance is created by the activity on a given profile.
