In fact, I <em>still</em> haven't finished downloading the data. Might take a few more days. That particular sideproject will likely remain secret :P As for the recommendation engine, I need to find a way to significantly optimize it before I can put it onlin. With only 156 200 favorites stored, it took around 18 minutes to pre-compute the needed correlations (AKA "links" between deviations, of which there are now 5 441 350). That might not seem too long but there are currently only 2-3 active users (44 000 being analyzed in total), and I'm afraid the time would grow exponentially as more are added. That is, until I index <em>all</em> of DA users, if that ever happens :) I hear <a href='http://www.servint.net/' rel="nofollow">ServInt</a> is good for VPS, hmm.... Yes, it takes a lot of bandwidth.

Isn't that script taking up a lot of bandwidth? I love useless stats like that. sometimes I feel like I spend more time writing the code for showing me the stats on the projects I work on, than the actual script.. Is that just me?! :-) Looking forward to when you will tell more about the sideproject or when you get that DA recommendation engine up and running :) Interesting idea.
