Slope initially began as a blog, so this is where most of the website’s content resides. Here we have tens of thousands of posts dating back over a decade. These are listed in reverse chronological order. Click on any category icon below to see posts tagged with that particular subject, or click on a word in the category cloud on the right side of the screen for more specific choices.
I am planning, once we get Tiles rock solid, to make it everyone’s home page. If you’d rather not have that, and instead like the “table” style home page you get now, please bookmark the URL you like as your home page explicitly so it can remain your Slope home page. We are spending virtually all our development on Tiles right now, since I want it to be the main junction of the site’s content.
Early in 2005, my wife told me I should start a blog. I told her I thought it was a dumb idea. She kept pushing. I kept saying it was dumb. I finally relented on March 29, 2005, and here we are on Slope. In my life, she is basically batting 1,000 about being right.
She’s been at it again. This time, regarding Clubhouse. This is the invitation-only audio app. I don’t want to do it. She thinks it’s a great idea. I think it’s dumb (plus – how shall I put this delicately – – surprisingly urban). Although the empirical data suggests I should listen (specifically, of the past fifty million opinions she has expressed, none of them have been wrong) I’d be interested to know if any of you would want to try this. I can’t imagine people wanting to hear each other, especially me, but who knows. Let me know……….
It’s been a little more than a week since we rolled our servers live, and although there were a few bumps and bruises along the way, I think we’re in much better shape now. I hope the speed of the system has been apparent. Here is the latest third-party performance report:
I am also pleased to mention that today, March 29th, is Slope’s 16th birthday. I have a special video waiting in the wings that I’ll publish later that will commemorate this occasion. Thank you, one and all, for being here!
Here we are on a Sunday, having introduced two new features! The first was our new Starred Comments feature, and now we are pleased to tell you of the newest indicator in SlopeCharts: the Zig Zag.
The Zig Zag indicator provides a quick and easy way of filtering out the “noise” of price data in order to create a simpler, easier-to-see perspective of long-term price action. You are in direct control as to how much “smoothing’ takes place. As with most SlopeCharts indicators, merely by sliding the indicator bar you can alter the indicator parameter to create as smooth or rough a representation of the prices as you like.
