= Using hierarchical facets 

We have a usecase with documents that are tagged with keywords in a theasaurus. This gists explains the model and is at the same time an invitation to suggest improvements. Because it would be nice to have something that performs better.

Game Of Life

Game of Life is mathematic toy world that was invented by John Horton Conway in 1970. Game of Life is played on a grid of cells that are either dead or alive by simluating how the world evolves over a series of rounds. In each round cells die, survive, or are reborn depending on the number of neighbours they have. You can find out more about Game of Life by watching the video below or reading up on it in Wikipedia.

= Untying the Graph Database Import Knot =

This Graphgist accompanies http://blog.bruggen.com/2013/12/untying-graph-database-import-knot.html[my blogpost of December 6th, 2013] which tries to explain the different types of questions that people should be asking themselves when thinking about importing data into http://www.neo4j.org[neo4j], and the tools that can contribute to finding the most optimal import strategy for your specific use case.
