what's in the stats?

well, the stats tell me where in the world you come from (this month)...
  • 604 Russia
  • 565 United States
  • 200 Romania
  • 139 United Kingdom
  • 60 Germany
  • 17 Poland
  • 14 France
  • 12 Malaysia
  • 8 Canada
  • 4 China

and the stats tell me that there has been a substantial increase in visits over the last few months... see?...


and it tells me other stuff too, but copying and pasting the other stuff is not happening at the moment... so why the increase?... because of the increase in entries, perhaps... and does this mean regular readers are being counted more because there are more entries?... or are these visits not page counts, but visits?... no, the numbers are called page views, so that would mean one visitor might view ten pages in one visit and that's counted as ten page views... so more entries means more page views if readers are clicking through to read every page... so if there are a hundred pages in a month and a thousand page views, are there ten readers reading all one hundred pages or fewer readers reading pages more than one cuz they clicked on links or something or am i counted in that number?... well, if i am counted, i am less than 20% cuz 19% of the page views come from the chrome browser and that's the one i use... 75% come from IE or Firefox... 6% come from other browsers... maybe i should stop counting my views and see how much that drops the numbers...

in any case, there are the places you come from... and with just five days left in the month, Russia and the USA are neck and neck... Romania is third (but Romania is second in page views over the lifetime of the blog) I wonder if i have more than one reader from there... and the UK is fourth... am i telling secrets?... remember when i used to? (i mean tell the secrets and some random stuff, even old crap rap, ya know)... and Germany, just an occasional stop by perhaps, and the rest... accidental tourists, intentional readers, old friends, who knows, aye?... ah, but the numbers presented above may be in the millions for all we know, if the billionth fan was not just a delusion... nyuk nyuk, tally ho, this is how we used to flow, narf narf, tell and show, the way the garden would grow, cha cha, now you know, winds of change may start to blow, tic toc to and fro, sometimes all that's left is doh, and it's really time to go...

and that's (e)thereal :)

musical distractions

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)

WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ...
