I have been planning for a long time to post a small reflection when I reached 1000 nodes
registered in the hecnet nodename database.
This happened tonight. I think it is a pretty cool thing. There are now 1000 nodenames
registered in this small hobby DECnet. I guess you could say it's actually not that
small.
However, I know that rather few machines are actually online, and it might even be that
the majority of nodes registered have never been online. My guess is that maybe 5% of the
registered machines are usually online. But I do not have any hard data to back this up.
That's a great milestone, and you deserve large amounts of credit for making it a
reality.
I guess I need to add some statistics to the HECnet mapper, showing the number of nodes
seen as "up". And perhaps a graph plotting that number over time. Maybe with
options to span various amounts of time, the way stock price charts do...
