another text cloud

...and just because I'm silly.

For contrast, one I wrote based on my Master's research. Can you tell I've changed the direction of my studies?

Now that is really interesting, and caused me to think more about tags. I can see I don't tag very well. I give too many names to the same genre. I can see I need a better system.

How did you make the cloud? It's cool.

The first part was easy, I went to http://tagcrowd.com/ and pasted in the text. It made the cloud. Easy! It even gave me options, but I went with the default settings.

But although I dutifully copy-pasted the html code that came with it, I couldn't get it to show up correctly either in this journal, or even on MySpace.

Undaunted, I took a screen shot, pasted the image into CorelPhotoPaint, cropped it to just the cloud, saved it as a .jpg, imported it into Myspace, then copied the location of the photo and used the html in LiveJournal to point to that picture.

As a result, I spent far more time on that bit of silliness than, perhaps, I should have, but I guess I just needed the break from working.

Oh, I do understand. Technoplay geekiness!
I've seen them before. I have subscribed to a thesaurus that plays with word meanings in a cloud. Most enjoyable, and it thinks like I do.
