While waiting in queue the other night I came up with an idea. I'm recording the population and queue status of Faeblight every 5 minutes to see what kind of population trends we have. This will hopefully become worthless once the queues go away, but it's fun to look at for data nerds like myself, and was a fun project while waiting in queues over the past 2 days. I'm currently showing 2 days worth of data, I might make more days available if I get bored. This is only tested in chrome, the graphs are built by a javascript library I've never used before, I'm not responsible if it doesn't work in your browser of choice. Times are in PST because that's where I am. See it here

Uh oh, our server is dying! This game must be a FAIL! The end is nigh! But good stuff.

I have a cron job that runs every five minutes and takes the XML provided on the offical shard status page and save it to a database. It's really just hacked together, but it shows what I was after, which is hopefully a continually lower queue as the days pass.

You're such a show off! But this does kick some major ass.

That's pretty cool. I love me a good line graph.

Just so we're clear, and not to defract from the main purpose of this thread in anyway (especially considering that's pretty awesome arnado) but... is that Batman stabbing a Shark underwater with a Lightsaber?
I mean I'm sorry but, it begs the question.

I mean I'm sorry but, it begs the question. I believe that it is Batman fighting Jaws with a light saber. I was torn between it as my avatar and chewbacca fighting nazis with a crossbow while riding a mutant squirrel.

Ah see, I've *seen* that one. I've also seen Abe on a bear with "The Emancipator" rifle.
Is this the same artist?

I wasn't able to find out who the artist was for this particular masterpiece but I don't think it is the same one who created the Nazi-shooting wookie. I didn't think the artist who drew this one was particularly talented (the perspective seems off) but the main idea obviously came from the mind of a great individual.

The artist. What is funny is reading all of the comments to get back to his blog, everyone complains about batman's lack of left leg and gigantically long arms. Now can we get back on track with how awesome my graphs are?

Yikes, followed that link, looked for the other picture, and all I found was the one with Betty White riding John Ritter and wielding a flaming chainsaw.
The horror. The horror.
