…but close enough for me to engage in a favorite past-time!  Yay for log spec­u­la­tion!  The game where Josh picks ran­dom facts and fig­ures from log files and tries to make him­self feel impor­tant because of it!!

Muwa­ha­haha.  Yes.  So, whilst Google and cer­tain MSN search engines strug­gle to find my web­site when I type “Joshua Street” into them (I have an unfor­tu­nate last name, it’d seem), it would appear that con­tent around these parts *IS* attract­ing atten­tion… even if that atten­tion is ill-founded and soon ignores this web­site and heads off elsewhere.

At the top of the search list are var­i­ous ref­er­ences to php­Sys­Info CVS ver­sions, and how to down­load it, etc.  After that, it’s more php­Sys­Info stuff (pop­u­lar one, that), then ref­er­ences to using SuSE with my onboard sound card (the Real­tek thing — ALC650 chipset) which I don’t think was the main focus of that arti­cle (the other card was — the Real­tek onboard stuff was an aside — actu­ally, it was quite irri­tat­ing), but hey!

Things just go down­hill from there, with some peo­ple appar­ently find­ing this web­site by search­ing for mug warm­ers (regard­ing com­ments made pre­vi­ously about cer­tain USB gimmicks).

That said, though, I must be doing *some­thing* right, as I got a hit or three from CSIRO this month!  Hey, that’s cool.  I hope they’re not tak­ing any­thing said here as author­i­tive, though, in the inter­est of inter­na­tional science ;)

Hmm.  What else?  I’ve been over­run by Swedes!!  Hehe.  Com­ments made on Lizette &‘s web­site sent a few hits fly­ing this way, as well as some com­ments by var­i­ous band mem­bers — I’m still impressed by that level of involve­ment on their part!!  Yes, Swedes and Cana­di­ans (okay, .com and .net name­space ranked higher, but that’s so generic I can hardly call it US hits) were the high­est inter­na­tional vis­i­tors this month, which is pretty funky stuff.

The world dom­i­na­tion is well under­way, but I’ve been kindly informed that between eight and six­teen MB of traf­fic needs to hit this web­site this month in order to push traf­fic over the amaz­ing psy­cho­log­i­cal bar­rier, the “1GB mark!!”.  How that’ll hap­pen, I have no idea!  Maybe MSN will let their crazy search bots out of the cage again, that’d do it nicely.  So far this month, they’ve thrown over 750 hits this direc­tion… aaaaaaaaaaannnnddd they then seem to be send­ing that infor­ma­tion to /dev/null, or what­ever the crappy Win­dows equiv­a­lent is ;)  Why do I make this hor­ri­ble accu­sa­tion?  Well, last time I checked (only briefly, to be fair), my web­site wasn’t show­ing up at ALL on MSN search, but was com­ing up on Google (less than 20 hits this month) just fine.

World dom­i­na­tion, one step at a time.  World dom­i­na­tors don’t need MSN, anyway.
