I'm confused as to what is being shown in the first graph. How can the number of party rounds be greater than the total number of rounds in some places? Why does the y-axis have different numbers on the left and right sides?
The axis on the left is for the blue party rounds line, and the axis on the right is for the red total rounds line.
I assume this is because party rounds have never been more than 3.7% of total rounds, so showing them on the same scale would have left the party rounds line rather hard to glean anything from.
A better approach would probably have been to express the counts as ratios to their 2005 values; they could then have been presented on the same scale.
Reminds me of an article I read awhile back that pointed out a correlation between news about Anne Hathaway and an increase in Berkshire Hathaway stock.
I'm following the step-by-step instructions to run it on my google app engine account, but I get an error when I run "fab deploy." It asks me for my email and does a bunch of stuff, but then this happens:
Zipping ziplibs.

It is attempting to zip a directory in the fabfile. You don't need to zip the contents of an app to deploy it. Try deploying using the SDK directly with:
$ python2.5 appcfg.py -A appname update .
replace 'appname' with the name of the app you registered.
Thanks! That worked. I get "Error: Server Error" when visiting my appspot url though (drpepecss.appspot.com)
Also, getting this error after successful deployment:
Completed update of app: drpepecss, version: 1

The author claims his company can detect this kind of click fraud (indeed, the whole article is about how they did) through proprietary methods. If you're an advertiser it's likely this behavior is about to become more common.
I'll take it! In all seriousness I am extremely interested in the idea. I am a programmer who has been considering startups in the education space and I think classparrot is something that could really make an impact on modern schooling.
Additionally, I have a team of talented programmers ready to get behind the project and capital is not an issue for us. You can email me at sawsym at hotmail.com. Thanks for your consideration.
After hearing the news of Steve Jobs's death, I used the posts on here regarding a guy who created a site selling Snowpocalypse t-shirts as guidance for creating a site selling t-shirts commemorating Steve Jobs. I tried to do this in the most ethical way possible. Half of all revenue will go to the Lustgarten Foundation for pancreatic cancer research.
