Perl6 Data Visualizations

The following are a few examples of some quick queries and visualizations we made to show how to use the Perl6 IRC data.

(1) Posts by hour of day over the years

SQL code:

SELECT YEAR(`date_of_entry`),HOUR(`time_of_entry`),COUNT(HOUR(`time_of_entry`))
FROM `perl6_irc`
GROUP BY 1,2

(2) Perl6 IRC Posts by hour

Bitcoin IRC Graphs

Here are some graphs and SQL to show how to use the Bitcoin IRC data. These charts track the activity of three main developers of Bitcoin: Mike Hearn, Gregory Maxwell, and Gavin Andresen. These three developers were featured in a New York Times article about Bitcoin developers.
