Today here the sun is shining, the temperature is in the low twenties and everything is fine.
I’m sitting here in my room, working on a remote Windows 2003 Server machine that refuses to work properly.
At the same time I’m also having an interesting Skype chat with my friend Marco and writing this post…of course with some good music in the background (Chicane – Easy To Assemble).
I’m allergic to many plants that in this period of the year are flourishing, so no way I’ll put my feet out of my room if not really needed.
Anyway, you have to know that WordPress (the CMS with which this site is built) have an interesting plugin called: Jetpack.
Jetpack is basically a suite of tools which came handy in case you want to monitor your site, one of the tools is called “Site Stats”.
The name is pretty auto-explicative, it shows how many people visited the site, which are the most visited pages and so on.
Here are the visits this blog had in the past 30 days:
As you can see, in the top 5 most viewed articles there is NONE about overclocking; and even more interestingly the by far most viewed one is a simple writeup (I don’t consider it a guide) about how I had configured a Samba share on a Centos 6.2 machine.
Now, the things are three:
1- I’m the most dumb overclocker ever;
2- I’m the best guys in the world in managing Samba servers over Centos and writing “tutorials”;
3- or…or…it’s just that overclocking is dead.
Well, after had tough about it a bit the third option is the one that results the more probable.
All the sites that since 2 or 3 years ago were mainly focused on extreme overclocking now are dead/semi-dead or are trying to convert themselves to other areas more attractive for the masses.
Since not so many years ago there were many people who didn’t do extreme overclocking which posted on forums and were are least a bit interested in what we do, right now they all seem gone.
Is quite sad to see how people is no longer interested in overclocking, or at least in the real overclocking, the extreme one.
