To demon.homepages.authoring (on topic) and demon.service (active).

Since 2007-09-01, on each day except when I have forgotten or otherwise
not been able to, I have been recording my Demon Homepages Counter and
my User Control Panel / Quota Usage "Webspace Quota" & "Data transfer
per month" figures, in a text file, in the format next indicated :

      Sample data set portion
      DATE     COUNT   MB   GB/Mo
   2004 02 27  13862  9.31  1.175 ; COUNT is off a page access counter
   2004 02 28  13869  9.14  1.098 ; MB and GB/Mo are from Quota Access
   2004 02 29  13870  9.14  1.070 ; in Control Panel for user hostname

In accordance with some ancient Demon edict, those figures don't truly
represent my actual data; but they do use the same digits.

Previously, I recorded similarly, but without MB & GB/Mo.

Older Delphi program BWUGRAPH, via sig below, was written to plot the
late lamented BWUSAGE.TXT data and, separately, the COUNT data; the
COUNT plot accepts both forms of data line.

Now, I offer page <URL:http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/sitedata.htm>,
which you can read on the Web.  Take a copy, with the *.js & *.css files
indicated in it, and you can run it on local data of the fuller form and
see plots, both daily and 7-day average, of COUNT, MB, and GB/Mo.

It should run on any popular PC browser, and for all I know on UNIX Sun
Mac &c; but it can show only an inferior form in MS IE <= 8.  Parts of
it derive from <URL:http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/linxchek.htm>, which
currently has better instructions, and is for checking local links and
anchors.

It's amusing to see how greatly the GB/Mo figure is smoothed by a 7-day
average.  AISB, calculating GB/Mo is silly, and GB/28d would be much
better.

Both pages are currently usable; both may change at any reasonable time;
both could do with feedback on their visible text and embedded
JavaScript.
