<h3></h3>
|
|
<p>As part of the <a href="http://www.opener-project.org/2013/07/18/opener-hackathon-in-amsterdam/">OpeNER
|
|
hackathon</a>
|
|
we decided to build a prototype that would allow us to compare how
|
|
different countries feel about several topics. We used the OpeNER
|
|
pipeline to get the sentiment from a set of newspaper articles we
|
|
gathered from media in several languages. Then we aggregated those
|
|
articles by category and country (using the source of the article or the
|
|
language it was written in), obtaining the “overall feeling” of each
|
|
country about each topic. Then, we used some fancy JavaScript to make
|
|
sense out of the raw information.</p>
|
|
<p>It didn’t go too bad, it turns out <a href="http://eurosentiment.eu/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/BOLv9qnCIAAJEek.jpg">we
|
|
won</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>Now, it was time for a face-lift. I used this opportunity to play with
|
|
new technologies and improve it:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Using Flask, this time using python 3.3 and Bootstrap 3.0</li>
|
|
<li>Cool HTML5+JS cards (thanks to
|
|
<a href="http://pastetophone.com">pastetophone</a>)</li>
|
|
<li>Automatic generation of fake personal data to test the interface</li>
|
|
<li>Obfuscation of personal emails</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>The result can be <a href="http://eurolovemap.herokuapp.com/">seen here</a>.</p>

I used python 3.3 instead, which works fine but is not officially

<h2 id="publishing-personal-emails">Publishing personal emails</h2>
|
|
<p>There are really sophisticated and effective ways to obfuscate personal
|
|
emails so that spammers cannot easily grab yours. However, this time I
|
|
needed something really simple to hide our emails from the simplest form
|
|
of crawlers. Most of the team are in academia somehow, so in the end all
|
|
our emails are available in sites like Google Scholar. Anyway, nobody
|
|
likes getting spammed so I settled for a custom <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_cipher">Caesar
|
|
cipher</a>. Please, don’t use
|
|
it for any serious application if you are concerned about being spammed.</p>

</div><p>Unfortunately, this approach does not hide your email from anyone using
|
|
<a href="http://phantomjs.org/">PhantomJS</a>,
|
|
<a href="http://zombie.labnotes.org/">ZombieJS</a> or similar. For that, other
|
|
approaches like generating a picture with the address would be
|
|
necessary. Nevertheless, it is overkill for a really simple ad-hoc
|
|
application with custom formatting and just a bunch of emails that would
|
|
easily be grabbed manually.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="generation-of-fake-data">Generation of fake data</h2>
|
|
<p>To test the contact section of the site, I wanted to populate it with
|
|
fake data. <a href="https://github.com/joke2k/faker">Fake-Factory</a> is an amazing
|
|
library that can generate fake data of almost any kind: emails,
|
|
association names, acronyms… It even lets you localise the results
|
|
(get Spanish names, for instance) and generate factories for certain
|
|
classes (à la Django).</p>
|
|
<p>But I also wanted pictures, enter <a href="http://lorempixel.com/">Lorem Pixel</a>.
|
|
With its API you can generate pictures of almost any size, for different
|
|
topics (e.g. nightlife, people) and with a custom text. You can even use
|
|
an index, so it will always show the same picture.</p>
|
|
<p>For instance, the picture below is served through Lorem Pixel.</p>
|
|
<p><img src="http://lorempixel.com/400/200/nightlife/" alt=""></p>
|
|
<p>By the way, if you only want cat pictures, take a look at
|
|
<a href="http://placekitten.com/">Placekitten</a>. And for NSFW text, there’s the
|
|
