Sometimes I get the impression that I live in a totally different time zone compared to everybody else. Nothing happens while I am logged in, and then I go away and come back and everything has happened in my absence.
Either there is a conspiracy directed against myself, in which case the idea won't help. Or there are certain times when there are more people here than otherwise. I would like to see the statistics - at what time of the day do people post the most? Maybe also run the statistics separately for ideas and annotations - some parts of the day we might be more creative, other times just idly commenting others' ideas.
People could then choose, if they wanted to, to post at a time when annotations are most probable to happen (if they like seeing the croissants pop in) or at a time when ideas are most infrequent (to get all the attention).-- herilane, Mar 25 2002 8 p.m. here and damn it just missed Coronation Street.-- po, Mar 25 2002 Flamin' Nora!-- waugsqueke, Mar 25 2002 My observation:
(Eastern standard time -0500 UTC)
The day begins at about 2:30 with UK postings (often Rods Tiger) which continue while I am sleeping. A lot of activity from about 8:00 on through about 12:30 and then tapering off to a dribble. Some mild evening activity from about 19:00 to 21:00 and then hardly anything the rest of the night until it starts all over again.
Monday seems to be the heaviest but Saturday can be busy as well.-- bristolz, Mar 25 2002 is that the aussie Nora, the Yorkshire Nora or the one somewhere in the depths of Dakota.-- po, Mar 25 2002 8.30 and I'm still waiting to hear what happened to Blissmiss?-- arora, Mar 25 2002 Turn on your speakers <shouts>She's baaaaaack</shouts>-- thumbwax, Mar 25 2002 Well, if I must mutter, at least I have serious things about which to mutter. However, I was not sneaking. I had an appointment to keep.
Welcome back, bliss.-- El Pedanto, Mar 25 2002 random, halfbakery
