SPF Record Publishing Rate

2004-09-04 14:31:32
The publishing rate (as recorded at the registry http://spftools.infinitepenguins.net/register.php) continues to increase. Using only error and warning free records, the rate is now solidly over 2000/day. Most recent estimate is 2390 per day.

A linear fit to the acceleration over the last three days, integrated out (makes the curve a parabola), shows the number of SPF records published breaking 100,000 on September 11 and 1,000,000 on November 16. (Simple numeric integration done in Excel. Yes, I know I could do it analytically. That would give predictions a bit sooner, but this is a pretty iffy guess anyhow because the rate could change at any time.)

Evidently, the Labor Day weekend has not yet reduced the rate. Perhaps that means the rest of the world is contributing solidly and not just the US?
