My readers are weeeeeird

I’ve done a word frequency cloud of the most common search terms that end up on my blog logs for the past year. The result is… unexpected. The winner, by a large margin, leads to an random blog post (nsfw) from December 2013. A laaaaaaaaaaaarge part of the other popular terms are also nsfw-related.

Except for Michel Roux Senior’s Lemon Tart recipe.

I love my blog.

PS: for future reference, if you want to make a wordle-compatible frequency map, use the following script with a csv file that has the count in the first column and the word(s) in the second column:

#!/bin/bash

filename="$1"
while read -r line
do
  COUNT=`echo $line | cut -f1 -d','`
  TERM=`echo $line | cut -f2 -d',' | sed "s/ /~/g"`
  for (( c=1; c<=$COUNT; c++ ))
    do
      echo -n "$TERM "
    done
done < "$filename"
