How productivity changes throughout the weekdays

Graph below shows distribution of my blog visitors throughout the weekdays (this picture depicts a specific week, but the pattern is consistent over the time.
Since my blog is mostly devoted to the technical issues I think it could be a measure of common productivity pattern throughout the week.

So:

  1. It seems that proverb saying “Monday is a holiday” looks to be statistically right.
  2. Well, actually it seems it talks about the Tuesday as well …
  3. Wednesday and Thursday are most productive days, Thursday is a bit better.
  4. Friday is in much better than Tuesday but shows clear decline to Thursday.

Insiders sell like there's no tomorrow …

Performance of Velocity distributed cache


I was looking for some numbers on performance and throughput of Velocity.
  • First of all here is some extensive performance data from Microsoft Velocity team blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/velocity/archive/2009/04/21/more-performance-numbers.aspx

  • My own test (single cache node, single client on a neighbor LAN computer - sequentially storing 100 .. 1000 instances of the same data into the cache) shown time of around 14-18 ms (per chunk) when storing data chunks of 100K up to 1Mb.
