Some figures for the curious. Some journals are obsessed with viewing figures… so far I’ve never really indulged in this kind of hit masturbation. Never thought you’d be a blogger because hit counters are so passé, to appallingly filk the Dandies.
This month the p900 info page overtook TF in popularity for the first time. TF has remained fairly constant at about 1,050 hits/month. The P900 page has racked up 1,209 requests in January.
Amusingly I forgot to reduce the quality of the featured mugshots (from 64k -> 9k each), leading to rocketing usage as the page got popular. Megabytes of data served by aaronbell.org by month:
Oct 2003: 80
Nov 2003: 90
Dec 2003: 360
Jan 2004: 580 (so far!)
Yow. Other fun facts:
Attempts at PHP hacking by script kiddies: 4
Commercial spam comments: 1
The former is thankfully now impossible after a security update. With the spam we’ll just have to see if banning works…

So it’s TF’s fault that I’m not getting laid as the most popular page on the net (practically, by my reckoning) features a picture of me looking like my Granny.

oddly enough your pic *is* the most popular file on TF as it appears at the top of the P900 page.
Lots of traffic arriving from grannygobblers.com as well. Weird.
