On reflection


In a glass door I saw a number 12939. It was the reflection of a sign reading PEPSI.

I posted this inadvertently via Ping.fm, but I like it and think I'll keep it.

By the way, I'm working on some new actual content for this site soon.

On a helpful note

This sign is in the same building, in one of the stairwell landings:

I like to think of BLOBBY as a sort of reminder to keep climbing those stairs instead of taking the elevator.

An unpleasant development

This has been up for over a week on our floor at work, so we have been forced to go up a flight or down two flights. No sign that anything is being done to remedy the situation either.

Browser sociology

I was impressed by the amount of periodicity in these two graphs of browser reach, both worldwide:



and for Europe:

I downloaded the worldwide numbers and cooked them up in a spreadsheet to find that the weekday 68%/26% split between Internet Explorer and Firefox distinctly shifted to something like 66%/27% on weekends. The numbers appear to be a tiny bit more enhanced for the European browser users.

My hypothesis is that the jiggle of a couple percentage points can be attributed to people who are required to use IE on their work computers going home to use Firefox on the weekends.

How geeky is that?
