If the concurrency graph looks a little odd today, don't panic. The scale has been changed, such that the data samples are only provided as often as Linden Lab actually has fresh data (approximately every five minutes - but it varies and I check).
This is all part of a grander data-collection update that tries to impose some data quality on the unreliable feeds that Linden Lab provides - it takes considerable work not to get false or misleading data out of them at times.

Methodology
Mixed reality sites in this headcount are selected for their prominence, either from publicity or real world name recognition. Sites with consistent low traffic (500 or less weekly) may be dropped in future Headcounts in favor of other sites. We do not count sites with camping chairs, or visitors in the orientation sims, as there seems to be little evidence to suggest that they will become visitors to the parent site - and if they do, we catch them when we headcount the site anyway.
We collect data four times per day for each site at 2am, 8am, 2pm and 8pm (times in SLT/US Pacific) plus/minus 1 hour. For each sample we count the number of people at the site at the time. We average those samples across the week, and then assume that average to hold constant, with each visitor spending a half hour on-site. This methodology does not necessarily include one-time events that generate high traffic missed by our sampling, which we'll make note of whenever possible. Headcounts do not factor in returning visitors, so assume that the total number of unique Residents are likely to be significantly less than the estimated total visits.

Almost 8 minutes, but who cares. Go watch this. Watch it now. Like a bit of steampunk? Like a bit of smut? Get to it.
I think Chuck Jones would have been proud.
Cat is on the way to a 24hr vet now.
Symptoms:
If it was a human, I'd say one too many of the wrong kind of pills. By the time we'd phoned the animal hospital and the vets she was more responsive, but still disoriented and lethargic, and had thrown up.
She's in the cage and should be arriving at the vet in a few minutes from now.
Update: Cat is spending the night at the vet for observation. Tests are being done. Appears to be neurological, but there are other conditions with similar symptoms.
Vet: "It's either very minor or very, very serious."
Update:
She seems okay. No further problem while she was with the vet. Potassium levels slightly low, glucose levels a bit high. Neither of them indicative of much of anything.
It's possible that she's become intolerant of her arthritis medication - the seizure may have been an allergic reaction. She's back to her usual self, pretty much, though a bit grumpy about all the tumult.
We talk to our regular vet over the next couple days, keep her off the medication and see what happens.
Apparently it's my second Rezday. Two years in SL. Whew. Quite honestly, I didn't think I'd make it. I wasn't actually quite expecting to make it through the first.
Don't send gifts or cards (I'm about three weeks behind in checking out the inventory objects and notecards that have been transferred to me as is). Send money instead :)
