No, not making any claims. Just posting the numbers when I can. Other people kept private spreadsheets the last time. This time I am hoping that by posting numbers like this we can reduce the amount of people voting 1s for the "other guy" since such behavior is not fair to either contestant.

8:25
Vandy 47(81.7) - 51(82.2) - 61(84.6)
Dave 70(81.4) - 68(82.4) - 79(83.3)

3:35pm
Vandy 48(81.7) - 53(82.3) - 62(84.4)
Dave 75 (82.4) - 73(83.4) - 84(84.3)

Vandy's votes look to have been 9 - 9 - 8 (or maybe a vote change affected this interval)

Dave's votes averaged in the high 9s.

Vandy 47(81.7) - 51(82.2) - 61(84.6)
Dave 69(81.9) - 68(82.4) - 79(83.3)

Vandy 47(81.7) - 51(82.2) - 61(84.6)
Dave 70(81.4) - 68(82.4) - 79(83.3)

No change for Vandy, Dave was given 5s straight across.

It would be really interesting to see some of the statistics with the votes, like the spread, MAD, etc.

If the FS crew wants that information, and they have the individual votes, they can use my page here to get some of the univariate stats: http://www.charlesprofitt.com/stats.aspx

Sorry for the space -- but sleep and work come first. It looks like some of the "wild" swings have calmed down since I started doing these updates.

Vandy's 1 additional vote was around a 5... Dave's votes average around an 8.

I am going to post some trendings -- sorry this won't be regular -- a new baby prevents it...

6:30pm

Vandy 41(82.4) - 45(82.4) - 54(85.6)
Dave 54(86.3) - 55(86.2) - 66(86.8)

8:00pm

Vandy 42(80.7) - 46(80.9) - 55(84.2)
Dave 58(86.6) - 58(86) - 69(86.4)

I will update this the next time I take a reading. The 1 vote for Vandy was a 1 or maybe a 2 depending on the rounding of the previous vote total.

Jacob:

I am not implying anything, just looking at the data. The data from the previous round showed the same trend. You may not ask your "voters" to down vote, but it is fairly clear that they have. Its fairly clear that all contestants have been smacked by down-voting.

The spreadsheet that was kept for the previous round was fairly revealing.

Your ratings are now pretty low -- though your vote totals didn't change that much -- don't know if that is down-voting or vote switching.

I just wish the public voting had been handled differently as it seems to have served no positive purpose for the competition.

With all the system swapping the article was a tad confusing and had to be read two times through to see what was being compared to what. If you had been able to put the graphs with the test that would have made it easier to follow, but you should have been mindful of the format you were using.

I am building a new machine that will likely be Windows Vista 64, Ubuntu 64 and potentially Windows XP (triple boot). I will have at least one server running W2K3 and another either running W2K3 as well or Ubuntu server.

I have not made up my mind yet which direction I will be going. Vista holds alot of promise but has thus far has not been what it needed to be.

Sound 16 -- Legend of the Five Rings
Sound 17 -- Tony Hawk (just guessing)
Sound 19 -- Legend of Zelda

I do not know the levels, etc... so... that is the best I can do. I have not touched a console in years.

C# is very similar to Java in its structure. Python will likely be the first one I try to learn.

IMHO being open source does not make software more or less secure.

What it what it does do is:

Close Source:
- software must be reversed engineered or probed for vulnerabilities
- response from "vendor" may be slow due to various factors

Open Source:
- the code is public so attackers can find flaws with no need to reverse engineer
- the code is often contributed to by the public and some projects do not have stringent review policies so malicious code could be "injected in to the product" and missed in the review process
- flaws can generally be fixed faster
- there is usually no attempt to dispute the flaws

I think it is funny that Apple runs around spouting off how they are going to beat Vista to market and then allow a silly little phone to derail their OS release.

Just curious if you could post the thermals and the power consumption for the 5600+, 6000+, E6400 and E6600... that information could tip the scales for people planning their computers.

» More thoughts on the public voting and the contest as a whole
Dave:

I want to be clear on this again - I think the contest was over-all a very positive experience for the contestants and I hope it helped FS grow their readership. It is simply my feeling that the style of public voting left certain people with doubts and cause high emotions to surface.

I honestly expressed my emotions about how it felt to go to sleep in a first place tie with you to find myself (two 1 votes later) dropped to fourth in the morning. That HAS nothing to do with the FS staff.

The FS staff has been fantastic during this contest -- and with a high stakes contest -- that is a tall task.

I honestly do not think my article was 1st or 2nd place material (3rd maybe).

I think everyone had to work hard at their articles and in future events that will hold true as well. My only purpose in posting my "feelings" on the 3rd round was in hopes that it will help the FS staff to improve future events. I have suggestions that I am mulling that would hopefully elimintate the "doubt" and "burn" that several people felt. It would be my hope that we could remove or reduce the negative from the process and improve it.

I certainly hope that people didn't take my earlier posts as poor sport. They were certainly emotional since I was disapointed. My true intentions were to voice my feelings in the hope they would help improve the process.

I intend to work on and develop my mBlog despite the contest being over (just beware with a baby due on the 24th I may be distracted for a while). I value the relationships that I have established with some of the FS staff and other competitors and would not want to jeopordize them by being overly upset. When competitive people lose they get upset... I'm Irish too... When I get done being upset I get down to improving. I loved the feedback from the editors in the previous rounds because it let me improve.

I apologize if anyone took my previous comments in the tone of being a poor sport -- when I engage mouth in an emotional state I tend to not be the most clear and concise writer.
