I’m fiddling around with my WordPress plugin and I added a feature to show posts sorted by what hour of the day they were posted, just because I wanted to see what that would look like. Of course, I already had an idea of what it would look like before I wrote it, and I was quite confused when what I made didn’t match my expectations. Geeks are funny that way.
I most often post either during lunch, or when I knock off work between 5pm and 6pm. So, what I expected to see was a mostly flat grid, with a spike in the noon hour, and then another spike at 5pm. What I got was…

This shows how many of the blog’s posts are published by hour of the day. This can be useful to see what time of day sees the most posting activity. |

Have I been taking long lunches? Quitting early? Why are half of my lunch posts at 11am and the other half at noon? I could understand if they were all shifted forwards or backwards in time, depending on what time zone the server is in but…
<forehead slap>
Daylight savings time. Obviously the server is not taking part in the great American temporal hallucination that is DST.
I work from home, and my wife homeschools our children, so DST doesn’t really affect our lives except to annoy me twice a year.
The Best of 2018
I called 2018 "The Year of Good News". Here is a list of the games I thought were interesting or worth talking about that year.
Game at the Bottom
Why spend millions on visuals that are just a distraction from the REAL game of hotbar-watching?
Chainmail Bikini
A horrible, railroading, stupid, contrived, and painfully ill-conceived roleplaying campaign. All in good fun.
MMO Population Problems
Computers keep getting more powerful. So why do the population caps for massively multiplayer games stay about the same?
Borderlands Series
A look at the main Borderlands games. What works, what doesn't, and where the series can go from here.
Silly silly man.
Did you come up with that description of dst yourself? It is so wonderful. Either you are very clever or someone you read is. (or both I guess)
mom
The description is mine, so both the credit and blame should fall to me.
