Site Connection

@rjclayton:

Was the increase in traffic related to the Spring Singles Tournament do you think?

it peaked in the second weak of janurary and incresad during december. i don’t think so. i think it has to do with more with people work less during december so they can be online longer giving them more time tovist this website or stay on it.

@djensen:

The traffic went up a little and then back down. The reason for the slowness was other issues on the old server.

Ah - interesting graph.  Either way, thanks for making it easier to check out the site!

I’m sure all those are factors.  Probably a bigger one would be all the people who got A&A for Christmas.  :wink:

Cool graphic. :P

Graphs are fun.

Do you know what’s really fast now? “Show new replies to your posts.”

It used to be noticeably slow now it’s mostly fast.

Mostly fast?  Not faster? :P

Mostly faster. Quit posting here an do your Germany 6 turn.  :-D

Can’t.  I have to work some more on this stupid proof.  Nothing as frustrating as trying to duplicate someone else’s work when you don’t have their brain nor their notes.  And yet, I still have to prove it.  (Proof is to prove all surface area equations are the derivative of volume equations for that geometric shape.)

The proof is intuitive.

A hint is here.

No, I’m not a math professor.

Just an engineer.  :-o

…but I play one on TV.  Come on man!

I appreciate the help.  But I’m supposed to be able to prove this myself without the assistance of the internet.  Just by using deductive reasoning, logic and calculus.

Start with the volume equation for a simple shape (one variable) and demonstrate that the area equation is the derivative.  Demonstrate that a slightly more complex shape (two variable) is just a variation of the first proof.

Back on topic…

I have noticed a very slow connection sometimes tonight (2 or 3 times).  The ping rate is good (34/35 ms) so I think the server is taking time to process my request.  Don’t know if anyone else has experienced this (takes over 10 seconds to load a page on a dsl lite connection).

I have had a coule of slow posts, but all were while there were a LOT of folks active on the site, mostly in the Games threads (I think the dice roller is eating up some of the bandwidth, but still better than it was before…)

And at 5:30 a.m. this site now FLIES instead of being “ahead dead slow”

I did.  It was just a long process.  I don’t write anywhere near as fast as I type.  Proved Cubes, Tetrahedrons and Cylinders and expanded from there.

I am still noticing that logging in and loading different pages on this board takes a very long time.  Nobody else?

Much improved since the server change, at least for me.

Occasional ad issue, but nothing like I experienced before.

Yeah I haven’t had a problem since the server change :-)

Yeah, once I’m on the site, it seems to fly now that I think about it.  But just initially loading the boards and then logging into the boards always seems to be a real dog…

I have it set up that I am logged in forever so I don’t realy know about that part. Loading the boards hasn’t been a problem for me.
