[amsat-bb] OSCAR Satellite Status Page Update

[David Carr <dc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
Just wanted to throw in an update about the OSCAR satellite Status Page:

-A few months ago the code was significantly optimized resulting in a 
more than 5-fold increase in speed.  Page load time is now often less 
than two seconds.  In the past, the speed of the site was a major issue, 
but I think I can say that is now behind us.

-Traffic on the site is also humming along very nicely.  As of this 
writing there are more than 100 (probably 150) visible reports and the 
database now contains 22,394 entries!!  I really appreciate the time 
taken by all of the regular contributors to share with the community.

-Last but not least, a challenge!  I've posted a current snapshot of all 
the reports in the database (see the link below).  I'm sure that with 
22,000+ reports there are some interesting statistics to be had.  Lets 
see what you can come up with...
