                          A different web log report

I have over 600 days worth of weblogs and I decided to play around with them
a bit. Using GD [1] to handle the actual graphics, I made a graph [2] of
accesses to my site over the past 600 days. The X-axis is in minutes, the Y-
axis is days and I basically graphed a point for a hit (or hits) per minute
of time.

I can get away with this since I don't receive that much traffic.

Some things are apparent immediately: vertical lines are repeat hits at the
same time each day (the bottom of the graph shows an automated script the
colocation facility runs to monitor the server), while a horizontal line
indicates hits across an extended period of time in a single day.

I also had the program report back the number of hits per minute: it averages
probably two or so per minute, but has a peak of 167 per minute.

Quite interesting.
