Jay and I were chatting this morning about some of the milestones P2L has acheived in terms of tutorial views, searches etc... We did a little math and I shudder to think of the time we've put into this project.

Now lets just ignore the time that's gone into the design, graphics, coding, development, planning etc... I'm going to give you one single stat that just has me reeling.

Approval of tutorials!

Pixel2life.com has received almost 16,000 tutorial submissions. It takes on average about 30 seconds to approve each tutorial. So since January 2nd, 2004, I have spent about 4000 hours or 167 days worth of time just approving tutorials. That's almost half a year straight of approving tutorials.

Now assuming my math doesn't completely suck, that seems spooky to me

My point? None really... just thought that was a crazy statistic I thought I'd share.

Have a nice day!

That's an unbelieveable amount of work, your finger must hurt from all the clicking.

[Akhtar]

you should get some people who you trust to approve them or somethinjg

I got something different when I did the math...

16,000 tutorials * 30 seconds each = 480,000 seconds of reviewing tutorials.

480,000 seconds / 60 seconds in a minute = 8,000 total minutes.

8,000 minutes / 60 minutes in one hour = 133⅓ hours.

133⅓ hours / 24 hours in one day ≈ 5 days and 12 hours.

5 days is still a lot of time for just reviewing tutorials, and I could be completely wrong. Also, about 11 minutes of that time was spent reviewing tutorials submitted by me.

lol...maybe you should add a little...like, scrolling "P2L Stats" box in v2...i think thatd be kinda cool!

Working at $12/hr (quite low for a professional webmaster) Dan has put $1602 worth of work into P2L in the last year. This is in Canadian funds. That's a lot considering he works on P2L for free.

I think a thank you is in order.

I think a thank you is in order. heartpump.gif

A bloody big one at that,

[JamesPickens]

wow crazy stats. and to the person who said trusted people to approve tuts, well thats not really the problem

right now Dan is the only one it allows to accept tutorials.
But HOPEFULLY in p2l V2, we will have it so a few others on staff
can do it too so dan isnt spending all his time in that.

DAMMIT! ROFL! I was wondering when I'd get busted lol!

Phazon has quoted the correct figures hehehe...

Still.. over 130 hours on tuts alone is just nuts. And I'm pretty sure it's even more considering I pretty much change the title on every single tutorial accepted

[ThaBirdman]

[JamesPickens]

you also cant be to sure bout the stats when its faken doing it, we know how slow Danny boy can be

[Jamie Huskisson]

if he combined that with all the dead link reports, source site sorting, and other items in the admin panel it'll double at least i'm sure

as for days of coding, make it weeks lol

[TMZHosting LLC]
