Yesterday went by rather quickly. Maybe its due to the lots of work that needed to be done. For me, it was business as usual and i dont really hate work especially when i love what im doing. well, i worked out a friend's proposal and will soon hand it over. Probably tommorow. I also attended a practice session for an upcoming youth fellowship concert at church here in Ruharo Mbarara. It was fine. I also met a couple of friends many of whom i had spent "ages" without seeing.A reunion..kinda!
Last night as i tried to "think ma self through"..something i do quite often(as part of my "customary" but personal M&E), i got this crazy idea..(crazy coz it aint everyday that i do such)..yes this crazy idea to do some simple funny maths about the way ive spent my time this year. I will bring you the full details of all this. As for today, i will concetrate on useage statistics for my cell phone and the Internet in the past 365 days (read 2007). The revelations were really comic..check this out if u have the knack to. By the way the margin of error aint significant meaning this stuff is quite accurate. Afterall, im not such a pathetic mathematician as you thought..blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
Ok. Now back to business.
Internet Use
I spent 13359 minutes on the Internet.Literally translated, i spent a total of 223 hrs that is 9 complete days of UNINTERRUPTED surfing on the world Wide Web (its begginin to get wierd, huh??)
In brief...
  1. 37 minutes spent on the internet everyday
  2. 18% of of my total Internet surfing duration this year alone was between January and June
  3. A bulky 82% was spent between June to December (OOoh my God!!!)
  4. 0.007% of the total time i had this year...ma entire life span in '007 (525600 minutes) was spent clickin away on the web!!

Cell Phone Use

I spent 1966 minutes talking on my cell phone this year alone. To put it graphically, for 33 hrs (1 day 9 hrs) i spoke on phone NON STOP!

In a nutshell....

  1. Everyday (for 365 days), a total of 5 minutes were spent talkin on phone.
  2. The ratio of dialled to received calls duration falls at 1:4 (That is in every 5 minutes spent on phone everyday, 4 were for received calls and 1 was for dialled calls)
  3. Of the total time i spent talking on phone this year(1966 minutes), 74% of this was in form of received calls and a paltry 26% goes for dialled calls (as u can see..im a really bad caller!)

Not "too" bad....i suppose....

By the way there is a new (is it new anyway?) version of yahoo messenger that is web based . You dont have to download it...u only sign in an then begin to experience the power of IM with friends and foes alike. You can check it out on http:\\uk.webmessenger.yahoo.com. Remember you need a yahoo ID to sign in and thats all! I guess yahoo should pay me for this ad....honestly.
