Some numbers from year12.joahua.com

Filed under: Geek, School/Uni — Josh @ 6:08 pm

For that photo website at that elusive domain name.

Time from the idea to a site live:
Six hours
Time from a live site to a functional site:
About a day
Lines of code to make it go (markup, CSS, PHP):
2001
Number of unique visitors:
309
Average number of visitors per day:
85
Visitors downloaded:
325MB/day, or 2.95GB
Overall transfers:
3.21GB
Number of albums:
26
Number of (known) contributors:
10
Number of photos:
(Probably well) over 1200 (hard to count, because of source and thumbnails being stored as they are)
Total size of site:
498MB
Total size of photos:
345MB (overhead is mostly in upload archives I haven’t deleted yet)
Shell scripts rewritten to do little things from the console that I’d taken for granted on the desktop:
Too many. But it made me learn something, so that’s cool.

And now for the important statistics! (Because I’m a pessimist ;-))

Number of photos that would still fit:
At least 4 times as many as there currently are!
Amount of extra bandwidth that could have been transferred:
At least 8 times as much, but we didn’t do too badly seeing as that was nine days, and the quotas are done monthly.

So… this means if you still haven’t uploaded photos, do so!

On another note, I’m thinking about implementing that upload thing Michael blogged about (or rather, linked to ;-) That doesn’t actually qualify as posting: you’ve still got a way to go before you redeem yourself for lack of that of late!) on the form to make life easier for people who don’t seem to be able to follow my pretty straightforward (I even made pretty screenshots!) “How to make a ZIP file” guide. Ah, technology.
