Brief Visitors

Although I realise that loads of people (well, some) read this website, I’m usually content with the fact that most of my visitors are robots, and most of the rest come from search engines. Yet it’s kind of spooky when I find that real people that I don’t know are reading my website and not just clicking back to their search results – Linda from Klamath Design (May 1st 2003 entry) appears to be the latest to have gone as far as mentioning it on her site. She might well learn something from reading this, but I’m not convinced that learning from me is good for your health!

In related news, ‘phlegm’, ’strange people’, ‘road safety campaigns’, being ‘unloved’ and ‘London demographics’ are some of the top search phrases that have lead here. There’s still an awful lot of questions being asked about rainbows – the last I saw, someone was round here looking for a ‘database of rainbows’. Well, here’s a start – Nia told me there was one outside my flat (being in London) on Monday, but we both have to take Gary’s word on it, since we didn’t see it. I’ll let everyone know the next bona fide rainbow I see, but someone else can make the database…

Spot the Difference

Continuing in my quest of trying to ruin my degree at the last possible stages (thereby maximising wasted time and effort), I’ve been playing around with my website. You may have noticed one or two minor changes, but these will have been overshadowed somewhat by the complete redesign that happened at the same time. You win some, you lose some. I would go into a ramble about the improvements I have made, but I’ve had a different idea. Instead, I’m going to openly invite criticism and complaints (and maybe even comments, good or bad) about the new style – and if you don’t have a website to air your views, then email me and I’ll put them here. Now there’s an offer you can easily refuse.

I’m going to leave off the rest of the things I have planned for here (including putting some of this site under a liberal license of some sort), since I really should be doing my project. Hopefully I’ve done enough of the changes that I had planned that my need to fiddle has been satisfied.
