Today is the first day of the Rugby World Cup 2023, which will hopefully start with a cracker of a France vs New Zealand match.

I had intended to have three sets of posts for this World Cup.

The first was the usual network visualisation using Gephi.

The second was a different, and much speedier way, of visualising the same thing, as described by James Ashford ([profile] jrashf@mastodonapp.uk / https://jrashford.com/) in this post - https://jrashford.com/2023/08/25/using-graph-theory-model-teams-and-players-relations-in-the-world-cup/

I've been looking for ages for something that explains how to get data for this sort of thing off Wikipedia easily, and his description is really easy to follow. The other advantage of that is that it gives me more control of colours and labelling that Gephi has at present (and should solve the chopping off of team names problem).

The third is a present for L, so I'll be a bit mysterious about it till it's ready.

You'll notice "intended" not "have", my plans were already slightly behind due to a holiday, and then I broke my leg. Don't worry, I'm fine, just very grateful for North of Tyne (https://www.notmrt.org.uk/) and Northumberland National Park (https://nnpmrt.org/) mountain rescue teams for getting me off the hill in question.

It's slightly cramped my computer style so I've fallen behind. There will still be the three sets of posts, but they will be delayed.

In keeping with Global Accessibility Awareness Day, I have updated my WordPress blog to use an accessible theme. It's a little bare for my tastes but hopefully its easier for people to read.

I try to include alt-text for images and I think the new WordPress editor will help, when it's finally here. I didn't know you could do that with videos too, and I will try to do so in future.

Unfortunately the instructions on WordPress's post about this assumes the new editor is enabled, and it'll be interesting to see if I can retroactively edit the posts where the alt-text is missing or insufficient.

Because I am going on holiday the day after the squads are announced, and will not be back for at least a week. Sorry about that!
