Procrastinating in Ruby is Delicious

As I was bookmarking something on del.icio.us today, I noticed the dates on which I had bookmarked the last couple of times and wondered if there was any correlation between frequency and day of the week. So, I downloaded a summary using https://api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/all? and whipped up a little ruby script to compile some statistics:

Wednesday = 41Tuesday = 39Thursday = 37Friday = 32Monday = 26Saturday = 24Sunday = 12

Looks like Wednesday is the biggest day for bookmarking – also known as procrastinating – and what do you know? Today is…Wednesday!

So then I thought I’d see if there was anything interesting in the time of day:

12 = 2613 = 204 = 1722 = 150 = 1423 = 125 = 122 = 1220 = 1011 = 101 = 107 = 103 = 96 = 721 = 79 = 615 = 414 = 38 = 310 = 219 = 2

Phew! Most of my bookmarking is done around lunchtime although an awful lot were done at 4am!
