Twitter Stats

Published by Jamie Phelps on January 1, 2008 in All Posts, Numbers and Twitter. 0 Comments

I thought today - being New Year’s and all - would be a great day to post some graphs of my Twitter usage. A huge amount of thanks goes to Damon Cortesi for his work on the Perl script that creates these stats and the Numbers template for creating the pretty graphs.

There’s not a lot really to note in my stats. The replies are interesting, though. They show who I talk to and/or about the most. It also seems I’m most active in the mid-morning. Make of that what you will.

UPDATE: There was apparently a bug in Damon’s script that was causing inaccurate stats; below are my revised stats.

Perspective on the Dock

iMovie ‘08 Dock Icon It looks as though all of Craig Hockenberry’s bitching about the new perspective-ized design of the Dock in Leopard isn’t phasing Apple in the least. The dock icon for iMovie ‘08 seems to be designed with this perspective in mind. Perhaps another sign that they had planned to wait until Leopard to release iLife in its latest incarnation? When viewed in the Finder, the perspective is barely noticeable to my untrained eye but on the Dock next to 2-D icons the perspective is more conspicuous. Anyone else notice this?

Perspective in Numbers Icon It’s worth pointing out that I don’t see this with the other icons of the iLife suite. Keynote and Pages don’t show this perspective thing either, but the new kid Numbers does. Looks like Apple is slowly redesigning their icons to fit with the new 3-D Dock and the new apps iMovie ‘08 and Numbers are the first. I suspect other developers and designers will have to do the same thing soon. Maybe this need for redesign is why the perspective effect looks like crap in most of the screenshots I have seen. Rosetta anyone?
