a page of tumbling madness

i’ve been working on a completely friggin’ awesome project with a couple of really smart guys for the past couple of months. as agreed, i split off from the development of the primary aspect of the project a couple of weeks ago in order to focus exclusively on creating its social-network-esque website counterpart, with my teammates continuing to work on preparing the main part of the project for its upcoming 1.0 release.

so, as a result, i’ve been working as the sole committer on a separate (and private, thankyouverymuch) github repo for the past couple of weeks. as it turns out, one neat feature that github has is the ability to show you really cool graphs about your repository, among them the “punchcard” graph, which plots your project’s commit activity over a period of time.

that’s me up there. those are my sleeping habits, my working habits, my partying habits, over the course of two weeks. the bigger the dots are, the more i worked at that intersection of day and hour.

that is so wild.

equally wild is the fact that the main project - the one that jhurwich and dmacdougall are still hard at work on finishing up (and which my buddy jackie is busily designing a few icons for) - has eerie, unintended parallels with this Punchcard graph thing: it’ll also tell you a whole lot that you may not have known about yourself and your habits, albeit in a completely different way. even though that wasn’t really what we had intended. at all. more on that in a couple of weeks.
