Notes on Stats

February 2004

Crash on the 29th!
No one read me on the 29th

It appears that the stats package did not get up yesterday to give me that good good feeling I need to get me through the day knowing 425 or so visits were made to the site. Time and life as we know it resumed at 4 am on Monday March the first.

It's alive!

That blip is one guy in Finland looking for Soviet posters.

So here are my projections adding the slowest Sunday of the month:

Hits: 82225 / 29 = 2835
Files: 59850 / 29 = 2063
Pages: 37883 / 29 = 1306
Visits: 12225 / 29 = 421

Sites: 4692 + 4692/28 = 4859
Kbytes: 1184122 + 1184122/28 = 1226412
Visits: 11890 + 335 = 12225
Pages: 36845 + 1038 = 37883
Files: 58393 + 1457 = 59850
Hits: 80105 + 2120 = 82225

April

It did it again...

Visits: 15256 / 30 = 508
Visits: 15256 - 127 + 508 = 15637

Average Daily Visits for April 2004: 15637 / 30 = 521.334

August

Leap forward to August 2004. The stats bug has apparently been long fixed and here is how we are looking now:

Sites: 6393
Kbytes: 3178883
Hits: 137259
Files: 92824
Pages: 58641
Visits:29177
So compared to Februay, August 2004 activity, six months later, is up the following percentages:
Sites: up 31.5%
Kbytes: up 159%
Hits: up 66.9%
Files: up 55.9%
Pages: up 54.8%
Visits: up 139%
This is obviously pleasing as I do not think I would do all this writing if it were not for the buzz of feedback, even if it is just statistical.
2005 Stats
Just some comparative screen shots of 2005 server stats from GX40, A Good Beer Blog and well as three other blogs who display their stats - Small Dead Animals and Chumptastic and Kinsella.
