VANITY

So I haven’t checked my site stats in a few months, but tonight I am busy procrastinating, so I decided to see whats up. The only thing really interesting to get out of the statcounter I use is the ‘came from’ stats that show exactly where people were before they entered my site. Most of it comes from the friendly blogs in the sidebar, though a significant majority are people leeching images from my webspace (Columbo is hot shit, apparently). But I also get quite a few clicks from search engines and other random pages. Lets see:

Computer World linked to my page last December, and I can’t for the life of me figure out why. The post they linked to is my fawning over Asimo, which has nothing to do with the article in which it is linked. Eh, it helps my PageRank, so I wont complain.
This is kind of interesting. That’s definitely my post, but its hosted on another server. In fact, it looks like every post I made on my blogspot page has been mirrored in inblogs.net, which seems to be a gateway that hosts a bunch of blogspot blogs and other pages inaccessible to certain countries (India, Iran, Pakistan, China). My statcounter says that no one’s been here from any of those countries, but maybe thats just hidden by the gateway. A little over 1% of my readership comes from Lithuania, so I assume its not out of the question.
Apparently someone linked to my site from Tulane Uni’s blackboard system. I don’t have access to the system, and I can’t see the course as a guest, so I can only imagine why I got linked. If anyone can break into the system, here is the incoming link
