Blogging Titan research series
We ran it ourselves, on our own site or our own accounts, and logged every step with dates.
The standard for this series. Every experiment states its start and end dates, what we changed, what we measured and how, and publishes the log. If the result is a single run on a single site, we say so in the first paragraph.
