I too would like to find a roommate (nonsmoking male) for the conference. I already have a reservation at the conference hotel. I posted this on the AoIR web page for such things, but got no responses. Possibly this will work better. Possibly this will only help people to better avoid interacting with me!

I will be attending the AoIR conference, and have plenty of experience using and teaching network analysis. I'd be happy to have an informal discussion about network programs, measures and applications, perhaps over lunch or something.

It seems the Radisson Hotel Metrodome is chock full. The site does not list other hotels that would work in area--does anyone know what might be good and/or close?
Hi -
John Logie, your Conference Coordinator here. Suffice it to say demand for hotel rooms is very strong in the Twin Cities, as we happen to be up against the University of Minnesota Football Team's homecoming weekend. (Of course, given a few more Gopher losses, the current demand may yet evaporate.) We booked a LOT of rooms at the Radisson -- enough that we were nervous about meeting our obligation -- but now find there are more bodies than rooms.
We'll be working on posting (at least) advice for those now seeking lodging to the local info pages, but I would like to ask that those who HAVE Radisson rooms and would be amenable to sharing them please proceed to the roommate finder (http://aoir.org/2001/roomate/ ) and make their willingness to share known. If half the people now booked for single occupancy were to do this, our housing concern would likely be eliminated.
This conference's theme in INTERconnections. Please consider making a connection by sharing a room with a colleague.
Failing that, my short-term recommendation, which I'm circulating to this list (so that AoIR members will have an opportunity to pounce) is the Holiday Inn Metrodome which is 9/10 of a mile away from the conference site.
As of noon today (Thursday) there was still some availability, though it will be more expensive than the Radisson. You can check out prices, etc, by proceeding to
http://www.sixcontinentshotels.com/holiday-inn?_template=chkavail.html&_innC ode=MSPMD
or by navigating your way through the Holiday Inn site.
Good luck!
Best,
John Logie Conference Coordinator Internet Research 2.0 Department of Rhetoric University of Minnesota

Len had some problems with this last week, it turned out that if he didn't match the dates to the conference they told him that there were no rooms, but when he went from the 10th -14th they said they had rooms. I'm not sure that this will work anymore, but it worked once.

Hi all
A bit of online value. I called the Holiday Inn Metrodome and found that rooms were 169. I went online through their priority club and made an online reservation for 50$ less.

Hi all,
this question probably has been asked and answered before in this forum, but my search skills fail me and I can't seem to find the right answer to my question:
I'm looking for software that will let me visualize weblinks going out (and in again preferably) of a certain website.
I imagine there must be a program that accepts an URL and a certain number of hops, that then will create (for instance) a little network with nodes and links, so that you can _see_ which nodes are highly connected, which ones are 'dead ends,' etc.
Preferably this program would be freeware and immediately downloadable (I've seen some commercial and not quite what I need programs on the Cybergeography site), but all tips and pointers are welcome.
tia :)
Frank.

RELIGIOUS ENCOUNTERS IN DIGITAL NETWORKS Religion and Computer-Mediated Communication
Conference 1-3 November University of Copenhagen, Denmark
Scope The emergence of the Internet has provided a new context for interaction between religious groupings and individuals in modern society. Religious encounters can now take place in digital settings that apparently transcend a number of conventional boundaries such as organisational structures, time zones, geographic borders, religious traditions, and cultural divisions. This Conference seeks a deeper understanding of this expanding field of religious communication on the Internet.
Keynote Speakers -Lorne L. Dawson, Associate Professor, University of Waterloo -Massimo Introvigne, Managing Director, CESNUR, Torino -Stephen D. O'Leary, Associate Professor, University of Southern California
Programme The Conference programme is available online at http://www.staff.hum.ku.dk/hojs/encounters/programme.html
Registration The deadline for registration is 19 October 2001. An online registration form is available at http://www.staff.hum.ku.dk/hojs/encounters/registration.html

Hello all,
I made a call and got the Radisson Hotel Metrodome to open up 10 more rooms for conference presenters/attendees, but you can NOT get these rooms through the online registration system. These rooms are being made available through the local hotel's reservation desk only. All other avenues will likely report that the hotel is sold out.
So, if you want to stay in the Radisson from AT LEAST the evening of October 10 (Wednesday), departing on the 14th (Sunday) or later, please CALL 612-379-8888 and make a reservation specifying that it is for the Association of Internet Researchers Conference (in order to secure our discounted rate).
This is, effectively, "last call" for rooms at the Radisson. Those interested in alternative accommodation can use a service like http://www.travelocity.com which has an "Advanced Search" function for lodgings which allows visitors to input a particular address and identify options within a certain radius. The Radisson's address is: 615 Washington Avenue SE Minneapolis Minnesota 55414, and it is nearly adjacent to the Gateway/MacNamara Alumni Center, where most of the conference sessions will be held, so I recommend using the hotel's address address as a "home base" for such searches.
You'll see that the pickings in the immediate vicinity are getting pretty slim.
To avoid disappointment, please book expeditiously.
Best,
-- John Logie Internet Research 2.0 Conference Coordinator Department of Rhetoric University of Minnesota

In a message dated 9/28/2001 9:15:09 AM Eastern Daylight Time, sjones@uic.edu writes, in part:
Site Manager http://www.sgi.com/software/sitemgr.html
If I understand Frank's question, what he is looking for is software that does this (lifted from the above page):
"Visualize your Web site in 3D--Site Manager offers a unique and powerful visualization tool in the Link View. Here, you can see the entire hyperlink structure of your Web site in a three-dimensional sphere. You can easily rotate the sphere's structure and "zoom in" on a point of interest to more closely examine a specific document's link hierarchy and still see how this "close-up" fits into the entire Web site. The Link View can also animate the statistics from your access logs so you can see a graphical representation of visitors' paths through a site. "
BUT, rather than do that looking at one's own site, the idea is to do that while looking at someone else's site from afar. Frank, do speak up if I've misunderstod. Sounds to me as though one would have to have a spider function of some sort built into the browser. If such a critter exists, I'd also like to know about it.
Cheers,
Bob Briggs Westport, MA
