Darn the day ended at 128 views :(
 
@IvoFlipse can you ask the SE devs for a vector graphic of the SU logo?
i'd like to use it for some of the design stuff for the blog
an svg or adobe .ai file would be great if they can provide one
 
I asked @Rebecca in the mod room
 
thanks
 
@random told me you should this for now: sstatic.net/superuser/img/apple-touch-icon.png
 
ooh that is higher quality
i hadn't seen that one before
 
12:17 AM
It's the Apple Touch icon
 
@random I guess we can't tempt you to write about anything? ;P
 
Haven't blogged for about two/three years now. Kind of rusty. Plus, it's like too much posting on the blog as it is it feels like you could burn out
 
Well one post/month for a whole bunch of users would mean a whole lot of content and no burning out ;)
Perhaps a more meta-ish post would be something for you ;)

NOTE TO ALL: Although a majority of our posts with be about technical aspects of Super User topics, we can and IMO should also post about Super User itself: how to ask proper questions, guidelines to asking a subjective question, proper procedures in editing, How to answer questions best, etc,.
 
What's the schedule like anyway? How far have you spread the posts apart and how much do you have in the bank? - Scratch that, saw the Google Docs link
 
There you are :)
 
12:26 AM
Google Docs feels just like the good parts of Wave are definitely brought in
 
how's that for graph style?
 
That looks nicer
Though I'm not sure if we even need a dark background
 
i'm still trying to get the fish to look better
and i've got to go for a bit
 
I'm off to bed for now

Q: Software to benchmark software installation times

nhinkleIs there any software that exists to benchmark how long it takes to install software? I know there are programs to benchmark startup times, but I'd like to measure how long the installation package for a given program takes to run. This will be used in an upcoming Super User Blog post.

there we go, I'm done messing with this -> blog.superuser.com/?p=1638&preview=true <- so I've set it to pending review. It might be a bit on the long side... let me know what you think

@KronoS: My next drive as I spoke with @IvoFlipse in the Google Doc comment is going to be on the SSD writes, using Resource Monitor and/or Process Monitor to figure out what is written to a lot and then Junction Points to link things to a second drives to prevent excessive writes to the SSD.
Not only to prevent going through the write cycles (which I've only used 0.2% of in 1 year) but also to free room on the SSD because of it's small size so that other things can close quickly.
After that, I'll get on to the performance posts. I've got a mail that I'm in the Soluto Alpha and I'm allowed to release a post about it's new features once the next Soluto Beta releases. Those could most likely easily fit in the performance posts as the easy way of troubleshooting things...
I think it would be most logic to start each posts with the easier things and end with the more advanced things in case further troubleshooting of performance is necessary.
So, in short: I expect to write the SSD post this weekend, a more general post on performance next week (what is my windows doing right now?) as I'm still awaiting the Soluto download thus I haven't tried it yet, then I will probably jump towards the Gaming Blog to get (depeding on others, a part of) Portal II covered and then the week after I can write the post about boot and the Soluto release would probably not be far from that.
I might need to revise this as the new features could most likely not be boot related, but I have at least something to write about till after Portal.
Perhaps I can write another less long blog post in between the general post on performance and Portal, we'll see...

@TomWijsman Soluto asked me if I wanted to participate as well, but never followed through on it :\

@IvoFlipse That's a good candidate for WTF friday...
unfortunately I'm busy all day today with family who came into town and so I don't think that I can put it together.
