08:40 < conseo> (this one reminded me of vote space)
14:22 < mcallan> it looks better than our designs.  but to show all nodes like that in a more-or-less *full* tree (if we should expect a full tree), we'd need more than a 2d circle.  we'd need a 3d sphere or Nd hypersphere.  else the circle would be too big, the edges getting longer and longer toward the leaves
14:24 < mcallan> i like how the names fit over the edges.  i want to do something like that in the votespace curtain
14:31 < mcallan> interesting variation on that, a cluster dendrogram: http://bl.ocks.org/4339607
16:33 < conseo> mcallan: yep. looks cool. they use javascript to generate svg
16:34 < conseo> exams are finished btw. have to work for next 2 and a half weeks, but will have some time
16:36 < mcallan> how'd exams go?
16:44 < conseo> mcallan: well, i hope i have passed :-)
16:45 < conseo> not too bad, but a bit confusing (for most students i guess)
16:51 < mcallan> i think you'll do fine.  i've noticed you don't give up easily, and that's the main thing
16:53 < conseo> yep, this institutionalized learning is often like constantly hitting your head against the wall though. it is so badly organized
16:56 < conseo> i wish we'd do more programming and learn interactively
16:56 < conseo> instead of hand-calculating after slides
16:59 < mcallan> yes, i know what u mean
