MySpace .. MySpace ...


Okay so i was at the computer lab over at Riverside Community College, and i would have to say that the ratio of people who had a page of MySpace on their screens was about 9 to 10.
So you might say, what was the other 1 of 10 ratio?
Being the other 1 of 10 myself, everyone else was trying to register their classes. Its about 1 week left till classes start at RCC, and it looks like crunch time. when i began to attempt to register at the site HERE the page counter at the bottom left corner said around 8,000 page hits.

I had a hard time trying to log into my school account, so i had to go and ask for help, yes, I of all people asking for help is rare in my life.
After about a half hour the website Tech's finaly fixed my login, they said they've had about 3 other people this week for the same problem, and seems to be a consisting one.
An Hour later, im done fixing my schedule and i go to register the classes i want, and what do you know, another problem. Apperantly i have to wait untill my Registration date, and said if i had problems to go back to the front page and check my class reg date. So i do, it say 1/31/06, which has passed, meaning i am supposed to be able to register.

I return to look for the Tech's help, and it was about 12:10pm and the school/help closes at 12pm Fridays. So i leave, Ragin Mad at this point i cant do anything untill Monday.
Just before i was going to close my window, i looked down at the counter/page hits. it had gone up about to 10,000 something.
under 1 hour, thats pretty freaking good for 2,000 hits.

So on my bus ride back, i was thinking, the ratio for people trying to register was about 1:10, and it got 2,000 hits in 1 hour. and how the ratio of MySpace people was 9:10. so i wonder how many page hits that site must get overall, and the bandwidth being used up. Can you imagine how many problems in the site can be found. Estimating from a 1:10 ratio of 2,000 hits in 1 hour. meaning 9:10 ration 18,000 hits in 1 hour on Myspace.

I had 2 problems attempting to log in. and still left with 1 to be solved. :( so yeah, thats like a gagillion problems for other people combined.
... so happy myspacing, and to hope that one day we can have the perfect intraNet ^_^


ps. i last check the RCC webadvisor page, and its at 14,000. big slow down since they closed the computer lab.
