Hi Merijn,

sorry, I couldn't hold my fingers back.
And we WANT to chat about your statistics!

In reply to Xman's suggestion:

If Merijn chose to pass on the statistics duty to someone else, I would be honored to do it. However, that would mean he would have to pound some mimimal perl knowledge through my thick skull and that would probable be more work than he puts into the statistics.

Pete, Volkmar's suggestion was that you only start the threads to post the statistics in, instead of me, not completely taking over the stats generation.

No need though. April stats already in new thread http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0xff54b82b2d63d71190080090279cd0f9,00.html

Volkmar, that is an empty thread with no subject. Is it meant to chat? Why not use the chatroom sometimes? I've been visiting that quite regularly from 17:30 to 18:00 in the past week (not today, have to run by then)

Chatting in /this/ thread is/was OK. Otherwise I should not have started it. I just don't want the regular stat threads to be used for it.

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn

Merijn,

Yes, I'm aware of what Volkmar's suggestion was. I guess I'm repeating the offer as a response to XMAN's suggestion. If you'd like, I would be happy to do it.


Pete

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Again, no need. Thanks anyway.

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn

[Pete Randall]

See? I knew you were just as addicted to the statistics as we are (or you've made us, that is!).


;^)

Pete

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Pete, can you run the attached script for about one hour and post the results? Maybe you can help.

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn

[Pete Randall]

Sure, I can run it. Do you want me to change anything ($id, User-Agent, etc.)? CtrlC to kill it after an hour?

Merijn,

I get the following:

Can't locate strict.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/perl5/lib/5.00502/PA-RISC1.1 /opt/perl5/lib/5.00502 /opt
/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.005/PA-RISC1.1 /opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.005 .) at /nfs/tsws1/home/plr/procura.sh li
ne 5.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /nfs/tsws1/home/plr/procura.sh line 5.

I'm impressed my suggestion worked. But it'd be great if Pete start a new thread for the results so that Procura gets his well deserved points.

I'm just being concern.

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

> Can't locate strict.pm in @INC

Eacks.

# find /opt/perl5 -name strict.pm

> (@INC contains: /opt/perl5/lib/5.00502/PA-RISC1.1 /opt/perl5/lib/5.00502 ...

Aiaiaiai. 5.005_02 Way to old for me :) Any chance in upgrading it to 5.8.0 or do projects depend on it?

Anyway, Time::HiRes did not exist by then, so you'd have to install that.

FWIW this script loads the HP-UX home page and times the time it needs to load it. Every 10 minutes. If you have an alternate (reliable) way to do so, I'd like to hear your response time.

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn

[Pete Randall]

Merijn,

I think the only reason I even have perl on my W.S. is from when I was trialing Bastille. I have no problem installing any version you think I should have.

The alternative is to hit the reload button on my Netscape browser and log the time (which the browser does provide).

Whatever you think. I'm willing to help.

Hi Merijn,

no idea which (hp?-)ghost I have called.
My thread is deleted from the forum list and also my comment

8-(((((((

Maybe Dan would know more?

I can't connect to ITRC chat from here and at home there are 3 kids (and a wife) and so I've tried it only a short time twice last month.
17 - 18 GMT? MESZ?

Regards
Volkmar

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Pete, uninstall that perl (either with swremove if used swinstall to put it there or rm -rf, whatever) and install my perl from https://www.beepz.com/personal/merijn/ or http://www.cmve.net/~merijn/

then fetch Time::HiRes from ftp://download.xs4all.nl/pub/mirror/CPAN/authors/id/J/JH/JHI/Time-HiRes-1.45.tar.gz and install it

# cd /tmp
# gzip -d # cd Time-HiRes-1.45
# /opt/perl/bin/perl Makefile.PL
# make
# make install



Volkmar, it's a shame that we cannot communicate in the chat. Pete, if you want online assistence, ask for it at h dot m dot brand at hccnet dot nl and I'll enter the chat (I have to leave at 17:15 METDST)


Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn

[Pete Randall]

Merijn,

Give me a while to get everything together. Hopefully I can get it installed today. I'll let you know.

By the way, I can't get to chat from here at work, so if I run into problems, I'll either e-mail you at procura(dot)nl or post here. My email, should you need it, is available in my profile.

Too late....but I've updated Procura's stats on the home page left sidebar...they now point to April stats at http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0xff54b82b2d63d71190080090279cd0f9,00.html

Thanks for continuing your great service Procura!

Merijn,

If you hadn???t already submitted so many posts that told us all how automated you had this process, I probably would have bit in this myself. As it was, it just confused me for a brief time. I will admit that much ;-P~~


John P.,

Dude, I???m impressed! I don???t know if I would have ever caught that if you hadn???t pointed it out.

{Bows} I???m not worthy (repeats multiple times)???



And just think, I didn???t even get to play an April Fool???s joke on anybody yesterday ;-(

{This is where you are all supposed to boo-hoo for me}


Dan,

Thanks for hooking us up with the correct link again!

[Pete Randall]

Merijn,

Isn't this ironic? At long last, I've got some statistics for you:

2003-04-03 07:59:02 109144 2.87 s 37.17 kbps
2003-04-03 08:09:05 109400 2.58 s 41.40 kbps
2003-04-03 08:19:08 109384 3.16 s 33.77 kbps
2003-04-03 08:29:12 109385 3.22 s 33.16 kbps
2003-04-03 08:39:16 109513 2.75 s 38.90 kbps
2003-04-03 08:49:20 109254 3.65 s 29.27 kbps
2003-04-03 08:59:26 109018 3.83 s 27.77 kbps
2003-04-03 09:09:33 109146 5.75 s 18.54 kbps


I'm going to keep it running to see if I can catch the typical, daily slowdown, as well.


Pete

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

What kind of connection do you have? High-speed ADSL? If so, don't you think that in general 30 kbps is waaaaaay below what the forumers should expect?

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn

[Pete Randall]

Merijn,

This is the T1 corporate pipeline. The 3 or 4 second response that I usually get, which equates to 30 to 40 KBps, seems normal to me, probably because it's what I've always seen. I can live with that. I don't think it's optimal, certainly, but I can live with it. It's the multi-minute responses or even the 30 second responses that *REALLY* bug me.
