Looking forward to seeing how it works! Some kind of stats page would be sweet to visualize what it's doing, or if anyone is even clicking on it. I installed it on my blog.

]]> Comment on Light bulbs by gregv http://apparenthorizons.com/2008/12/02/light-bulbs/#comment-115 gregv Tue, 02 Dec 2008 06:48:44 +0000 http://gregv.wordpress.com/?p=125#comment-115 Sorry, I couldn't wait for the blogosphere. Wikipedia suggests, in broken English, a solution. The filament is a "coiled coil", that is one loop made up of a tightly packed tungsten coil. Supposedly this coil sublimates at a rate proportional to the surface area of the envelope coil, instead of the surface area of the "entire coil", that is, the surface area of the tungsten if you completely unwound it. I guess the benefit of this effect (which is plausible though I don't completely understand) must outweigh the harm of concentrating the heat and speeding up sublimation.

It sounds fascinating, but I'm not sure whether my server may protest as a result of it carrying out its sophisticated machinations. Any reports of it doing nasty things to servers? It is definitely something I'd like to try out on my WP site(s)! If only to see what it suggests. Oh and I will be Stumbling and Digging the plugin page! All the best from Italy, Alex Hi Greg,
