I've spent most of the day hacking TrustFlow. I have a completely different algorithm, and most of it is now in C. The new version of TrustFlow is more informative, slightly fairer, and about 100 times faster.

Supposing it gets a lot of eyeballs, the way the last one did (70,000 last I looked). What political thing should I use it to publicise? Bear in mind that it will be seen by LJ users all over the world, so it has to be something of international interest.

How about ...

The Society to Preserve the Pint, the Peck, and the Pound? I got into an argument with some fool teenager this week (running a fruit stand at the farmers market) who thought that a "pint" was a metric unit of measure and it made me think about British merchants being penalized for not using ... hemi demi semi kilograms, or whatever it is you use to measure baskets of raspberries.

Um, I say stick a link to PayPal up there to fund the teeny servers you say you're running this thing on. Or to, um, preserve the habitat of the wild ponies of Exeter.

I'm all in favour of metrication. I don't have an ounce of sympathy for the people who want to keep Imperial measures, and I won't give them an inch - we've taught our kids metric measures in school, and it's time to go the last mile.
