Statistics for April 2003

I've decided to stop statistics. It just takes too much time. Hope you enjoyed it.

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn

Hmm, do I smell April Fool's Day here?

Merijn,

After hearing this, I was disappointed.
People have really come to enjoy the statistics you provided us.
Really, some people do place a little too much emphasis on them.
I like reading them, but I guess I could live without them.
Life is really more than just numbers.

Forum members should concentrate more on helping people anyway.
One of the biggest satisfactions I get here is hearing that I helped somebody.
Of course, the points make it fun too, but they aren't everything.
Likely you will hear from lots of people who will miss all the numbers.
Statistics have been fun, but at first look it says something about character.

I never cared about them anyway, Merijn!

Happy April Fool's day!

Hmm, you got it sooo fast, that I got almost no time to enjoy it. Only John took the bate. Well, just read the sig, and Pete, no nagging tomorrow!

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn

Hi Merijn,

Took the bait? I don't think so!

Take a look at the first letter in each sentence of my post. ;)

"but at first look it says something about character"

That really puzzled me, but now I understand

You're so sharp you'll cut yourself

Merijn & John
I was April fooled by you both
Can you spot the Acrostic in this?

John, beautiful. It just doesn't stand out if the lines are wrapped like in my windows (using both Opera and Mozilla, I can see it, but not as in an acrostichon)

Mike, "Mike" is not written as "Tymic" is it? :)

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn [ and fun I have. Only all point asigns time out :( ]

Merijn,

That was too easy. We all know you're every bit as addicted to producing the statistics as we are to studying them!

Enjoy, have FUN!

It /could/ be true however. It /does/ take a lot of time.

Perl answers are easier.

perl -le'print pack"H*","456e6a6f792c20686176652046554e2120482e4d6572696a6e"'

I was just talking to Palo Alto and the buzz over there is that LVM and PA-RISC aren???t leaving in lieu of the new Itanium architecture and VXVM.

That???s right!

There's been a re-evaluation of the whole PA-RISC phase out for apparently there are numerous instabilities listed inside the Intel CPU, VXVM and Itanium architecture in general that can???t be found inside PA-RISC servers. Several of the leads were actually overheard to have said something like: ??????so that???s why they call it windoze??????.

Consequently, decades of HP proprietary work aren???t being phased out in a year or two after all.

Wrong thread Frederick?

perl -wle'print$".gmtime$=*"$^W74$!85$@92$-"'

Re: Statistics for April 2003

Pete Randall — Tue, 01 Apr 2003 12:28:16 GMT

No, I think Frederic is jumping on the April Fool's bandwagon!

Hi John P. & Merijn!

John, you should be given a special hat just for your poetry and linguistic creativity!

Merijn, I'm still LOL...Very well done!

Warmest regards to everyone.

No offense, but I think John Poff is an April fool victim.

If you're serious procura, how about some perl code, I'll step up.

Merijn,

How about statistics about how much time does it take you to produce statistics? Does it take more and more effort all the time as you have more and more points to sumarize? How fast does it change comparing to the forum's activity?

This would make your declaration more trustable... ;)

Good luck
Adam

Now that I `trust' the data, and all that are interrested know about the glitches and know how to read the stats, it's about 20 minutes a week:

?? putting the stats in the forum (Pete knows how long that can take :-P)
?? putting the stats on http://www.cmve.net/~merijn and https://www.beepz.com/personal/merijn
?? interpreting the log from cron
?? posting the personal metrics in congrat threads
?? `playing'
?? looking into the possible implementation of quests (I think I am at the edge of what is possible with the data I am currently able to retreive given bandwidth and ITRC speed)

That is now that it is all automated and running smooth. The development took sometimes far to much time. (Developing the speed graph falls in the 'playing' category)

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn
