Stress Metric

The stress metric’s high and low endpoints have been switched. 0 now represents less stress while 10 represents high stress.

All previous entries have been switched accordingly.

Days of the Week

Grouping our data by weekday provides some interesting results:

What do I take away from these results? The differences are subtle, but I certainly can tell that members tend to be happier on Fridays, which is not much of a shock given the history and normally relaxed attitude of the day. I also found it interesting that Wednesday was the low point of the week for the majority of members, not Monday as I would’ve thought.

Password Reset/Change

by Kevin 0 comments

lifemetric users that have forgotten their passwords can now request a new one be e-mailed to them, via the Reset Password page. If you have forgotten your password, enter your e-mail address and click Reset Password. A message will be sent to your e-mail address within moments with a new password that you can use to log back into lifemetric.

After you’ve logged in, you can change your password to something you prefer by clicking Profile.

Oh, and welcome back!

Server Move

by Kevin 0 comments

To prepare for our rapid growth, we’ve scaled up to two dedicated servers for lifemetric. It shouldn’t be a problem for anyone, just all the benefits of a speed increase.

Those with lagging DNS will still hit the old server, which will be turned off in a few days after the straggling DNS have caught up.

More Major Changes

We’re made even more changes to lifemetric. The result of which you are currently using. We’ve got:

• Dramatically improved graphs, which are now images rather than Flash, and in the old style
• New user pages, with some more data like “points”
• Top Users leaderboard, by aforementioned points
• New sliders and visual tweaks to the Your Metrics page
• Latest Entries API, which will drive some of the widgets and badges we have in the works
• Random performance improvements

Details about these changes will be coming soon, I hope to dedicate a whole post to each of them. Just a one line description doesn’t do enough justice to the radical progress we’re making as we grow.
