Check out this tree applet that renders website maps as trees. I’m not entirely sure how much use it is, but it’s fascinating watching it spider all the links in a site as it constructs the tree. I made the mistake of typing in WipeoutZone to see what would happen, and it took an age as it spidered every record page entry and forum post. This place, looks a lot simpler – more of a cheese plant than a bona fide tree to start with, then it hits all the external links and kaboom – it’s a forest.
As evidence that there’s a greater plan to life, and that the individual in charge of that plan has a profound sense of irony, I discovered in the last week that my company conference is going to be in Malta in June.
At least this time around I’ll have something to do and have a bunch of my mates with me, although sadly not Fliss who deserves a better attempt at a holiday as much as I do. While she’s enjoying the use of the car for a working week, I’ll be staying in a sumptuous five star hotel rather than an old folks home with piss-proof furniture masquerading as a hotel.
