Popularity statistics are missing

If you go to the "monthly" section under the popularity statistics, you'll see that apparently no one has read Pride and Prejudice in the past three months!

>1 Katya0133: It’s not the end of the second quarter yet. I suspect the quarterly, monthly, and cumulative statistics might not get updated until sometime after June 30.

The months had run out; this should be fixed in the next day or so.

>3 knerd.knitter: Thank you!

>4 Katya0133: I know this is still not right. I'm working on fixing it now. It'll probably be another couple days before it's resolved.

The reason, by the way, is that the months were tracked with a "LibraryThing month" based on when we started. We have now more months than will fit in a byte (255). So Lucy's having to "roll over" some very large tables to make them use two bytes :)

Awwww, LibraryThing's big enough to need two bytes now!

>6 timspalding: Two bytes? Aren't you worried about the Y7466 problem? Surely it should be four bytes. :-)

Or are you that short on storage? :-p

>6 timspalding: You should have kept the CDC mainframe so you could use 12 bits :-)

>9 bnielsen: Wasn't a byte on a CDC mainframe 6 bits? 60 bit words.... So they'd have had to address this problem fifteen years ago. :-)

>10 waltzmn: Yes, sort of. Input was done via something that always gave you 12 bits. But you could always chop up the 60-bit word in your own way, so maybe LT could just have crept up from ... 7 to 8 to 9 bit to 10 bit :-)

>11 bnielsen: What I remembered, back when I was working with a Cyber mainframe a bit more than forty years ago, was that you couldn't have lower case, because they didn't use ASCII; it was 64-symbol character set. So: 6 bit words. But they didn't teach us how it worked; they basically said, "Shut up and keypunch."

I went back to a college with newer computers. :-)

>12 waltzmn: Before that it was a 63-symbol character set (they didn't have a %-sign in that version). So my knowledge is older than yours by a percent :-)

>13 bnielsen: Or you cared enough to remember the details, at least. :-)

>14 waltzmn: I remember also using DEC Radix 50 charset at that time. (Our university used both a Dec-10 and a CDC-computer in those days).
