Like any Blogger, I'm obsessed with visitor and referrer stats. First thing i do when i get online is check ma mail, then spend the next hour or so looking at referrer and visitor stats. Finding out why people link to me and what they say about me.

Recently i've noticed a lot of visitors coming from a proxy at george-monoux.ac.uk. That is my college's proxy. I'm guessing my free advertising on college boards is paying off with more visitors. Every chance i get, i "grafitti" my link on a board. Yeah I'm gagging for it, but isnt it why anyone keps an online journal? To get people to come read it?

And oh... almost forgot... somewhere last week i got the chance to look at someone surfing my site without them knowing i was there. I was in the computer room and somethin quickly went past my eye. I thought... "That design looks familiar". Yup it was mine... so i sat back down and watched these two girls i've never seen before reading posts and giggling about stuff... Damn it felt GOOD. ;)

So they arent exactly using the college resources as intended... but what the heck?!

Good grief! Don't tell me you into the voyeuristic crap, peeping Tom!! I mean i can imagine the thrill it gave you, not only the sick pleasure of invading the privacy of others, but you liked the fact that you could observe them invading YOUR "privacy" aka private/ personal/journal thoughts and enteries. Now what we have in effect is you spying on others spying on you in a public place(webpage) IN a lab or some computer place i.e a public space. For real, you and i need to talk cos this is worse than i thought- and i hate to imagine the ego rush it gave you- yeuch!!! :-)

err not really, i am more into you teaching me a programming lang. and html from scratch and i refuse to buy those ".... for dummies" books!!! Anyway, whats up with your posts? you are less prolific and i am a little upset!!! How can one obtain comic relief or at least something worthless to occupy onw, when you refuse to post!!!
Please do your civic duty and post.... at least out of a sense of duty to those who want to waste their times at least once a day for a coupla minutes..

Why would you post personal information about yourself on a website.....DOB, passport information, place of issue.....This is what leads to "identity assumption" . Good luck!

Damn brownie, what's up with the hatred....the boy seems to be a smart brother who wants to express his creativeness online as well as share it with others. Now how can you hate if he delights in seeing someone surfing his site. Give the bro some credit, its about time we encouraging each other and stop hating.

Err tackash i believe you missed the point and i am not hatin' i'm merely not congragulatin' or celebratin' so i suggest u check your configuration before you begin all the degradation!!
On that note i suggest u re-read my post and see past the english words and letters of the alphabet!
p.s. Brownie and BrownAangel are 2 distinct personalities and i doubt brownAangel would be pleased with this post so just chill aiight
