drudgington ponderings

worked a little big on drudgington post.  had to make a few quick fixes.  i think i’m finishing up on it for now.  probably little tweaks here…filter some words there…but nothing big.  time to move on!  anyways, on to my ponderings…

one of which i have no idea what’s going on.  there seems to be a misassignment in memory or something.  i’m editing an array for a word cloud.  print_f shows it as it’s supposed to be.  then i reference it (no editing or change or anything) and the last array value is incorrect.  not sure what’s going on.  so i just popped the last array entry off.  workarounds…  i decided to display the word clouds in frequency order.  it loses it’s “randomness” for a word cloud.  but this site is supposed to be clear and to the point.  “hey these are the top words they use”.  might sort them alphabetically…a compromise.  another dilemma i’ve run into is which words i should filter out.  nouns are usually straight forward.  but what about adjectives/modifiers or verbs or whatever they are (pff grammar).  like should i filter out the word “no”.  it’s a common word and is pretty useless without context.  but i feel like it deliniates tone.  like negative adjectives and what not.  but i’m beginning to see that keywords (mostly nouns) are going to dominate these adjectives anyways.  anyways, i’m done.
