Update js/datasets/index.json #14

Closed slipperywhale closed 12 years ago

slipperywhale commented 12 years ago

Hello,

Adding another dataset which I have analysed for Benford's Law project... It is from the guardian and is the full list of UK government spending transactions from May to Sept 2010. Satisfyingly it checks out.

Please bear with me, I am slightly new to this business of interacting with people for coding type things, so might be totally messing with the system. Still, I have created a new line in the index.json file, and I'm about to create a new file for my findings... Wish me luck.

yours

Hey slipperywhale, I'm seeing the update to the index file here, but not the actual data file. Can you make sure you did a "git add" on that file?

Thx!

Just saw your tweet. In your working directory, you can do a "git status" to see if any files aren't actually added to the project. You can either "git add [filename]" or "git add ." to add everything that's not in the project. Then, just "git commit" and "git push".

ah right, i'm waay behind here... i haven't even installed git on my system... i'll get onto doing that, have a bit of a play and then get back to you shortly. at some stage in the not too distant future i should have a little script together which will do all the first digit counting in SPSS automatically and might be able to add a few more datasets. although at this stage can appreciate that it might be for my own amusement... will report back if i get stuck. s

hello, in an epic above-my-head adventure, i have account, token and whatnot... and git installed on my machine. i'm almost ready to go. now, if i can just get to the right working directory... i assume that i should be in the https://github.com/slipperywhale/benfords-law/tree/patch-1/js/databases directory for this? but how do i get there (and is that the right place anyway?)... thank you..

The easiest thing might be to just email me (jason@blackantmedia.com) your datafile and I'll update the main branch here. I could probably walk you through the steps, but I'd have to get back to you on that.
