The good, the bad, and the ugly!

February 8, 2008 - 15:01 — Andrew Scott

Being a modern sort of chap with my laptop attached as a fifth limb (like many of my fellow Lifters!) I couldn't help notice that during the more engaging or popular presentations and speakers, the Wifi connection speed went up, whereas during presentations by speakers who were perhaps not as gifted as others, or handicapped by very serious buy less entertaining subject matter, the internet connection went down -- or hit rock bottom!

So, at risk of putting a cat amongst the pigeons, wouldn't it be interesting to plot the bandwidth use during the day, against the timeline of the presentations? Giving an honest representation of Lift Attendees interest in different topics?

I'm sure the routes must have management logs that show the traffic for the last few days....?

:-)

UPDATE: The counter-argument

UPDATE: The counter-argument to this (as some clever clogs may point out) the increased traffic could be due to the LIVE blogging of the more popular presentations...? Personally, having sat at the back and been peeking at the 20 laptop screens in my view - I'm not buying that counter-argument ;-)

Thing is, live-bloggers are

Thing is, live-bloggers are busy typing when listening to an interesting talk, not uploading. I personally would say that my bandwidth consumption goes down when I'm listening, and up when I'm less interested.
