Day of the Week

It seems that Wednesday is math day - and Sunday is not:

Wednesday

Time of Day

My server is in Singapore, so these are Singapore times (0 is midnight, 12 is noon). For US times, subtract 12 hours (for New York) or 15 hours (for LA). For the east coast of Australia, add 2 hours.

The low points (15 to 16), represent 3 AM to 4 AM in the US east coast.

Windoze or Mac?

Windows   92.3%
Macintosh  4.1%
Linux      0.9%

Microsoft IE  71.6%
Firefox       21.8%
Safari         2.6%
Mozilla        0.7%

So much for the claim that IE7 is taking over the world. Since IE7 was released, Firefox penetration has increased on my sites.

Anyone remember when Netscape was the winner in the browser wars?

Who Are You?

A recent poll on the site indicated that for the 1000 who responded,

95%: A math student
4%: A math instructor

Actually, this is probably the ratio of mathematics students to mathematics instructors worldwide (about 25 to 1).

The current poll says, in answer to the question “Why are you here?”:

Studying for an exam: 45%
Doing homework: 29%
Doing research: 25%
