Strange things happen while at FOSDEM...
#Github: The social network for cat-hating flame warriors who code.

...like losing that prized community visualisation code you've been tinkering with for years.
Shifting the bits about
Short version:
- Ditch office machine ("Sitzplatz") and turn it into a box for Windows/Linux built and test;
- Send laptop ("Feuerameise") back to KDAB UK (I'm now on the KDAB Germany payroll);
- Take home office machine ("Kraftwerk") into the office;
- Get new laptop ("Entwerter") for home/travel use.
Backing up and merging all the datasets between these machines without a hitch... apart from losing my log parser and visualisation code. So, I spent the last couple of hours rewriting them all. I used Amarok for test input data; not too much, not too little, just hmm-mmm good.
No comment, just sample output from my nearly-complete rewrite of my tools. Needless to say, I was listening to Spotify while visualising Amarok. (Click to enlarge).
You will notice that, at some point, the date format changes in the repo. I'm guessing this coincides with the switch from SVN to GIT. Speaking of coincidences... Look at the "performance" of Mark Kretschmann, the project founder. Project activity appears to be falling over recent years but, when Mark appears to stop work, the whole thing grinds a halt. Coincidence? Nope.
