Spider Crawl Stats

I just checked the crawl stats for interfacebus.com using Google's Webmaster Tools. The attached graphic shows Googlebot's [Google's spider] activity over the last 90 days.

The first two graphs appear normal, but the last graph does not. Check out the reduction in time to spider a page even as the amount of data downloaded has increased.

Does this mean that my server has gotten faster over the last few months? Or maybe Google is coming out at 3am when there are less people using the server?

What's new blog

Looks like the companion blog used to indicate new pages to interfacebus.com is a year old now. The blog just provides a link to new pages as they are added to the site. There were 35 entries last year and another 73 additions this year for a total of 108 separate blog pages. Many of these pages contain several 'new' links to pages that were just added to the site, so a few hundred pages have been added over the last year.

Open Office Down Load

Open Office came out with a new version the other day. So I went ahead and down loaded version 3.0 of Open Office tonight. I think the previous version I used was 2.4, but I'm not really sure.

Open Office is one of the free versions of MS Office, but produce by another company and it has nothing to do with Microsoft. Free is a lot better than $600.......
