[10:01] <elkbuntu> MitchM_, the counter's awstats seem to be not updating, is there a cron or something missing?
[10:39] <Burgundavia> elkbuntu: question about the ubuntu counter
[10:39] <elkbuntu> Burgundavia, hmm?
[10:39] <Burgundavia> how is the machine total counted?
[10:39] <Burgundavia> is it clusters + machines?
[10:40] <elkbuntu> cluster population+machines, yes
[10:40] <Burgundavia> ah
[10:40] <Burgundavia> that is a little odd
[10:41] <elkbuntu> how so?
[10:41] <Burgundavia> well, to me, clusters are merely containers to put machines into
[10:41] <Burgundavia> logical grouping of machines, essentially
[10:42] <elkbuntu> yes... so machine total is the sum of the population of all the clusters, plus the number of individual machines
[10:42] <Burgundavia> basically
[10:43] <elkbuntu> thats how it's done
[10:43] <Burgundavia> but if I create a cluster of 5 machines, do I need to create 5 machiens as well?
[10:43] <elkbuntu> no, the cluster thing is so you dont have to
[10:44] <elkbuntu> that's the purpose of the clustering on the site
[10:44] <Burgundavia> right, but I think we are missing some interesting stats that could be generated be switching to the clustering as container idea
[10:45] <Burgundavia> we could ask about where the cluster is, work/home/etc.
[10:45] <elkbuntu> in what way?
[10:45] <Burgundavia> we could figure out that most large groups of computers are still on dapper, etc.
[10:45] <Burgundavia> you could watch people upgrade
[10:45] <Burgundavia> ie: do people upgrade one machine or all at once?
[10:46] <Burgundavia> I would also love to roll your stats into the hwdb
[10:46] <Burgundavia> for an uber-Ubuntu machine stat thingy
[10:46] <elkbuntu> if you could figure how to do it, sure
[10:46] <Burgundavia> not hard
[10:47] <Burgundavia> but anyway, do you see where I am coming at with my clustering thoughts?
[10:47] <elkbuntu> yeah
[10:47] <elkbuntu> however i have not the time to do this :(
[10:47] <Burgundavia> I guess I should also mention that the current way is not very clear
[10:48] <Burgundavia> that is what prompted this whole conversation
[10:48] <elkbuntu> yeah, it's been pointed out before, to a degree
[10:50] <Burgundavia> I also wonder how many double counts we have because of false assumptions
[10:53] <Burgundavia> http://ubuntucounter.geekosophical.net/faq.php <-- link to ubuntu.com on there is broken
[03:34] <MitchM_> elkbuntu, let me look
[03:46] <MitchM> elkbuntu, fixed.
[03:46] <MitchM> elkbuntu, was a cron problem :)
