figure some way of loading data in "real-time" so that guestbook signers would be notified of their own presence & be able to find themselves in network...

"play" nodes into the network for that day based on the time they entered

if person clicks on continent path then that particular continent's nodes should be centered. how to do that? no idea!

• get data from DB from prior day
• generate time & spaces streamgraphs.csv - Streamgraphs are over the whole time period, so TWO files total
• generate time & space networks.json - Networks are by day, so 2 files/day over the whole time period
• save to /data dir
• cap online visitors at 1000 for each day but make sure to get correct geographic ratios across the whole data set per day
• make sure all guestbook people not capped

TIME LINKING LOGIC

• people linked in order of arrival
• people linked to last person from their venue (online, guestbook, gallery)
• people linked to last person from their geo

SPACE LINKING LOGIC

• people linked randomly somewhere between 1-5 other nodes from their geo
• each linked randomly to one other node? or prior person to enter? or?

right now buggy

• contact info for questions?

- other links, Bronx Museum, etc

• Check for new data every x time interval by querying (? db? generate new json file? heh?)
• Some non-intrusive but cool visual way of showing new node entering
• consider way of "faking" online visitors entering network - based on time interval of total users from prior day
• Could do same with gallery visitors

• perhaps text under the space/time nav buttons
• other thought - keep UI components selected at the same time as you can mouseover the rest of the streamgraph paths - i.e. vertical slice of path highlighted in time view and horizontal slice of path highlighted in space view - VISUAL instead of textual

Load data from day before

improve UX - form should disappear and reappear or something

modal window
would come up with list of links that would then link to particular network view with that node select state

and from that same window - ability to share that link with your social network, twitter, blahblah

surely will have to tweak visuals at same time

Will help users understand that they are traversing a time series

in case anyone cares
since it's linked from About section

separate nav & view where countries are nodes, node size corresponds to amount of visitors from that place, links correspond to ?

required fields: name, city, state/province, country

• add postal code & country fields to guestbook form
• Insert proper geo in database (city, state, country, postal code)
• consider storing geonames ID in DB so we can look that up again in case of data mess up

on mouseovers - detect position and if near edge then put mouseover divs on the other side
