As promised, I give you a stats page.
I'm pretty proud of those graphs. I just query the database and pass the data points into a generic function that takes care of creating the image. The function is incredibly flexible. It will automatically position the y axis to make room for the tick mark labels and scale the graph to a specified size, among other things. Unfortunately, I had to turn off the axis labels because Purdue's servers don't support PHP's function. I find that very strange because all the rest of the work fine.
Some interesting things to note:
- I've written over half a million characters. That's insane.
- Despite a relatively sparse summer, I have still managed to keep the average length between posts to under two days. I think this is mostly because of the rapid-fire posting early in the life of this weblog.
- Sunday is my most prolific day of the week. Who knew?
- While the number of entries per month has decreased, the length of the posts has increased. This has made the total length per month remain relatively constant.
- The graph of entries by time of day has a distinct kink at lunch, dinner, and bedtime. I tend to think some of those posts between 2 and 7 AM must have been translation or clock mistakes. I don't remember ever posting that late/early.
I'm trying to think of additional statistics to display or graph. Leave your ideas in the comments.
