Tag Cloud

My Top 100 Tags over past 277 months

What does this Tag Cloud show?

This page runs a small script that goes through every 'blog entry I've ever written and makes a list of all the unique words I've used and how many times each word is used.
Then it removes the most common words like "the", "this", "that"
Once the commonly used language-specific words are removed, it makes a "tag cloud" in which the more commonly used words are shown in bigger font size than the less frequently used ones.
Additionally, it tries to figure out how long ago a given word hit it's peak usage and brightens the recently used words while fading away words I haven't used in a while.
Just click on the tag to read all the 'blog entries where I mentioned it.
It's not a perfect method since I don't manually tag my 'blog entries, however, considering the fact that this is pretty much automated, I think it gives quite a good overview of the stuff that I write about i.e. the stuff I care about.
The slider-motion works better/faster in Firefox than in Internet Explorer 6.0 because of the difference in implementation of the innerHTML method that I use to change the tags as the slider moves.
