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?

Two notices for your consideration

  • Some library patrons are just better with their hands than others.

  • Informational display seen while shopping for GPS units.
