300th

This is my 300th post. This blog started in november 2005 and I want to thank all the people who helped me and contributed to write those posts. I want to thank particularly the Biogang, my followers/following on Twitter and the Life-Scientists on FriendFeed.
Here is a timeline of this blog created on dipity.com.

This timeline was built without giving my blogger username+password: I just added the RSS feed of this blog but asked the blogger API to return a high number of items in the RSS feed (max-result=300), so all the posts have been inserted.

That's it !

A Treemap for FriendFeed

I've resurrected an old Treemap algorithm I described three years ago, and I've used it to plot the activity of the "Life Scientists Room" on FriendFeed.

The source of the packing algorithm is available here, and the source of the tool scanning FriendFeed is available here.

In the end, here is a clickable treemap of the top 'commentators' in the "Life Scientists Room" of FriendFeed:
