That’s a question that couldn’t be answered in Paisley Beebe’s interview with the restructured Emerald team over the weekend. However, the project team does keep those stats, and someone (who declined to be named) showed me the graphs.

Featuring...
    Well, August is already waning, and we’re yet to see the second quarter Second Life metrics from Linden Lab. I chased the Lab about it in July. Should I poke them again? I’m not expecting anything astonishing from the figures… although an attempt to put a similarly upbeat spin on them like Q1 and Q4 would be… well, pretty astonishing in itself. The US FTC’s Do Not Call programme now sports more than 200 million US phone numbers. Just going by numbers of views, it’s hard to get a sense of how many of you are deeply interested in the Second Life charts and graphs. Until something strange pops up, that is. Wow. There’s a whole lot of you, aren’t there? What you’re all asking about – and I sent a couple individual replies over my first cup of coffee, before I realized just how many of you were asking – was this chart:
In response to the software problem that caused me some data loss insofar as Second Life statistics and metrics data goes, Tyche Shepherd’s been in touch and passed me the data I missed! A big round of applause for Tyche! That’s very awesome. I’m getting the data injected into the database piecemeal, so not all the gaps have been filled quite yet, but the concurrency data is there now and the graphs updated. Tyche Shepherd, ladies and gentlemen. Rocking the awesome. Data lossBy: Tateru NinoAlas, some statistical data was lost when a server glitch discarded my cron jobs. Thanks to Les, who wrote in and spotted it for me. Dreamhost support was incredibly swift once I contacted them. I’ve got various monitors and alarms for checking the data and alerting me to problems, but alas, they all actually relied on cron. Looks like I’ll have to revisit that. An extra level of alerts would be good anyway. The lost data is Second Life concurrency, signup and transaction data for Thursday 17 June through Saturday 19 June. Darnit.

Guess I spoke too soon about the Second Life statistics data that I use to make up the graphs and charts. It’s back off the air after barely 24 hours of actually running again. Jump to the new comic, or new readers can click the banner to begin at the rather rough beginning:
