Beats putting in starters. ???

Very cool clouds, Peter.
I'd have to go back to my 60's Volvos or the Jeep CJ with inline 6 to find avehicle with a starter you could darn near do with one hand.
Fooling with images is a lot more fun.
I've spent the past hour or two analyzing visitors to the dance club website....
Just in case anyone needs something stimulating; last month,
there were 669 unique visitors and a total number of visits of 1117.
7051 pages were viewed.
Wednesday is the most popular day of the week to visit.
More views occur between 3 and 7 PM, than any other 4 hour period.
There is not an hour of the day that someone did not visit.
75% of visits to any page last between 2 and 30 seconds
7% are for 30 seconds to 2 minutes duration
6% are for 2 to 5 minutes
6.8% for 5 to 15 minutes
2.4% for 15 to 30 minutes
1.5% for 30 to 60 minutes
0.7% for more than an hour.
Those long figures must indicate that someone has fallen asleep with their computer on. None of our pages have a timer lie some websites do.
Images account for more than 70% of the views and bandwidth
89.6% of visitors use Windows, 6.8% Mac, 2.7% unknown, and the rest others.
Those break down into
60.7% on Windows XP
14.7% on Vista
7.8% on Mac OS X
1.6% on Win 2000
0.8% still on venerable Win3.xx
0.7% on Windows Me
0.5% on Linux variants
0.1% on NT
0.1% on Win 98
0.1% on 2003
and a few more odd balls
82.3% use Internet Explorer as their browser, 9.5% Firefox, 4.7% Safari, and the rest an assorted mix
92.9% of visitors arrived at the website via directly typing the URL, or by a bookmark/favorites. The balance by search engine, with Google most popular, followed by Yahoo, Windows Live, and MSN, AOL and an assortment of a few others.
And last, but not least here's a screen shot indicating the countries from around the world where visits originated from.
Hi Susan ,
Here's info you might find interesting. I was talking with Dennis at the DBWC dinner. We were wondering about how many people might have downloaded large file size images (suitable for printing). So I waded through a bunch of web stats that are available. I can see how many times most pages are visited, however the hits on those large image files are so few they get lumped together way down the popularity list in the miscellaneous/other category.
However, comparing last year to this year I can make some assumptions. I selected the months of February, March and April, to date. I chose that time period as last year the Winter Ball was earlier. Last year we did not have large files available for download.
There's a term "bandwidth" that is used to describe the volume of material that is downloaded. Bandwidth goes up if more pages are viewed or more images are looked at on screen or if large files are downloaded.
The number of visitors for Feb, March & April was almost 1% greater in 2009. However in 2008 there was approx 1% more pages viewed in that period.
Feb,March,April 2009 has had approx 7% more bandwidth used than the same period in 2008. That means 7% more page views, more visitors or more downloads.
So something used up more bandwidth with fewer pages viewed. Maybe that accounts for some downloads of the large print quality files? It's hard to tell for certain.
That 7% figure is equivalent to 103 MB of data. The average size of a large file Winter Ball photo is 2.45 MB. That works out to 42 large image files. That's not a lot of printable image files, but then that is simply an educated guess as well.
Between now and next year I'm going to see if I can come up with an easy method to know with greater certainty. The ones I can think of at present involve more time and in some cases money.
Other interesting data...
I chose a single month for this...
There were 669 unique visitors and a total number of visits of 1117. That means that 669 different computer IP numbers visited the site and that some of them visited on more than one occasion.
7051 pages were viewed. Viewing one of the photo pages with the thumnails and then viewing 4 of the larger images from that page counts as 5 page views.
Wednesday is the most popular day of the week to visit.
More views occur between 3 and 7 PM, than any other 4 hour period.
There is not an hour of the day that someone did not visit.

It would be interesting to see the stats from CP.
Peter, that is quite a dramatic picture! Nice 8)
