How is the Server Guide and Blog Doing?
Nov 22nd
Recent trends show this website is definitely going in the right direction. I can talk about this trend, but the graphs shows it in a nutshell.
If you popped a trend line on this bad boy it is a sharp increase. Since the blog was started many years ago I consider the amount traffic in August 2007 to be a lot. Clearly in the beginning there was no traffic whatsoever. Therefore even that relatively smaller amount of traffic a relatively large. Now the traffic is spiking. I blog almost everyday from work. Always new topics, always new ideas. A lot of recent news, and most of the time the news sparks an idea. It looks like this trend will continue. Maybe in 10 more years or so I will get those big numbers that everyone is looking for. It would be nice to get over 10,000 hits a day. Is it too much to ask? Some of my posts are very important and helpful.
Oil Prices and Environmental Effects
Nov 9th
Time and time again we see oil prices changed proportionally to upcoming environmental events. Current:
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)–Crude futures rose above $79 a barrel Monday on concerns about the threat Tropical Storm Ida poses to U.S. oil and gas production facilities in the Gulf of Mexico. A weakening in the dollar also supported prices.[Source]
That’s a relatively big number considering the amount of oil reserves that are available. Also, another interesting fact is that prices are relatively high because production levels are as lost as post hurricane conditions. This is partially because of the high oil reserves and the demand of oil in the marketplace. The low production level, the upcoming hurricane, and the amount of reserves all contribute to the price of oil. Production can be increased, but where is the product stored? The current situation is that the high supply is actually causing high prices, which is completely counterintuitive to the supply and demand model as it pertains to product price.
