graphing *your* friends
This is me releasing the harvesting part of the software I graphed my friends list with: http://www.chaosreigns.com/code/ljfriends2dot/
If you download ljfriends2dot.pl and springgraph, and you have perl and GD.pm installed, after you set $cachedir in ljfriends2dot.pl, you should be able to run:
(replace "darxus" with your username) and then have a graph called ljfriends.png.
Unix (Linux, BSD, etc.) and MacOS X generally has perl installed. For windows I suggest google searching for windows perl. It's a pretty simple install. Although getting the one required perl module (GD.pm) installed could be more interesting on non-unixes.
I would like to hear other people's experiences with this.
