One of the pieces of junk email I received recently had a subject line of Email the Planet. I don’t know if the planet Earth has an email address, and I can email her (or him?) or if someone has collected an email address for every person on the planet.
Chris joked that since I can only email about 350 messages an hour on my shared hosting package, it would take a long time to send to everyone. Here’s what I figured out:
| 6,000,000,000 |
# of people on earth |
| 350 |
messages sent per hour |
| 17,142,857 |
# of hours needed |
| 714,286 |
# of days needed |
| 1,957 |
# of years needed |
I don’t think I’ll spend the time or money ($349) to find out…
Today is System Administrator Appreciation Day. It’d be a good day to thank your admins for keeping the network up and alive, and maybe buy them a drink! Although, everyday is a good day for either of those scenarios.
Graham and I walk each day on our lunch break. We walk along Queen Victoria Park in Niagara Falls, up Murray hill across from the new Fallsview Casino then back down toward Victoria Avenue, one of the main streets for Tourism in Niagara Falls, and back to our jobs on Clifton Hill. The walk is approximately 3.5 km (2.2 miles) and we walk quickly covering this distance in about 35-40 minutes.
The route that we walk can be seen in the image below (enlarge) with our location in reference to Niagara Falls clearly visible. The image is from Google’s latest acquisition, Keyhole.
I’m quite a bit behind in reading my news, so I’m sure I’ll have lots to post today…
Chris and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas. Be sure to let us know of any cool new “toys” you got!
