This Friday will...
This Friday will make the 12th (and hopefully final) annual inventory for me at this current place of employment. It never seems that we can catch a break when it comes to the weather on inventory day. The normal weather is cold and rainy on inventory day and the forecast is exactly that for this Friday; cold and rainy.
It also makes it...
It also makes it a real pain since there is quite a bunch of inventory that is kept outdoors and not under cover, that means uncomfortable conditions for the unlucky persons who draw the assignment of counting the stuff that is outdoors.
I have pulled...
I have pulled that assignment on more than one occasion and it isn’t fun. One year, not that far back, the temps the night before were in the mid twenties and it rained just before the temperature drop so there was ice on everything that day.
Until Friday...
Until Friday though we have really good weather predicted. So it would make sense that the man in charge look at the forecast and decide to count the yard equipment a day or two early. The chances of that happening are most likely slim to none and the suggestion has been made before and fell on deaf ears in years past.
Some of the...
Some of the equipment back there hasn’t moved in two or three years so the likely hood of anything changing between say Tuesday and Friday is not very high. Plus, even if something did sell or get transferred it could be noted on the count sheet and the adjustment made on the official inventory count sheets.
So needless to say I am not looking forward to work on Friday, not in the least little bit.
It looks like...
It looks like I wasn’t alone on not knowing about being able to make phone calls using discord to do it. I haven’t had the opportunity yet to look into getting it setup yet but it is on my “to do” list. I was also fortunate enough to have that Daily Dose selected as the member boost post of the day so I am very grateful for that, thank you very much #steemitbloggers.
I did notice ...
I did notice on Monday that the app or website I like using called steemnow.com is back up and running smoothly so my thanks to 
That has always...
That has always been my favorite site for keeping track of what is going on with my account here on steemit. Aside from the stuff it shows about the account there is a link at the top of the page that takes you to the weekly steem stats reports and I like looking at those periodically and I really haven’t looked since HF20.
Monday's report had...
Monday’s report had the price of steem at $0.34 USD and SBD at $0.81 those numbers I take it are the true numbers that reflect steem on the open market. I still see both steem and sbd right at $0.40 range when I look at the internal market here on steemit. I also noticed that new account creation is very low at 1,307 for last week; that is the lowest number of new accounts created for the last eight weeks. I think it is safe to say that people aren’t flocking here in droves to open new accounts.
So if the 8%...
So if the 8% retention number is correct we will end up with just slightly over one hundred new users out of that 1300 that signed up. I was surprised to see the active number of users on the report listed, I miss type there, it isn’t listed as active users; the correct term is “accounts transacting”.
When you read...
When you read the definition of accounts transacting it means any account that posted, commented, voted, transferred steem or sbd , or powered up or down. The number for last week was at 46,754 accounts. I sure as hell don’t get the feeling that there is 46,000 or people actively doing stuff on here. This place is starting to resemble the old gold mining towns of the 1800’s when the gold stopped readily being extracted from the mines. People hightailed it out of town and never came back; then and the towns ended up being known as ghost towns.
The kicker to me...
The kicker to me was the explanation that said active users are actually more than the 46,000 since that number includes people who are just on here reading things and not transacting. Can they really be serious on that? Is there really folks who come here, spend the time to read and not be signed up on here? If the people keeping the stats supposedly know these “watchers” as I will call them are here then they sure as hell should be able to count them otherwise they shouldn’t even be mentioned.
As for that...
As for that 46.000 number there are plenty of those transactions that take place without any human intervention or help. So I guess we really don’t know the actual number of live bodies pounding the keyboard and clicking the vote buttons but I would believe it is way less than the 46,000. What do you think as far as the numbers go?
