Stats That Make Me Go Hmmmm

By /
Been a while since I did a 'aren't you readers just the craziest of kids' post ...
So here we go using the latest Blogger stats feature. Note, this has only been collecting data from May 2010 so it's not really indicative of everything. If I had the time I'd check with my Google Analytics which has been running since 2006 ... biut this isn't a report for the board but a "Hee hee, who would've thought that" post.

Where do you come from?
The top 5 make up the vast majority of you guys and yet I am surprised just how many more of you are from the United States and not NZ (where I am) or UK (where the family is).
In order of living within this country' preference:
  1. United States
  2. New Zealand
  3. United Kingdom
  4. Australia
  5. Canada
  6. Peru
  7. India
  8. Italy
  9. Germany
  10. Russia
What else makes me think about stuff, oh ...

What computer stuff are you using?
Web browsers you're using ... probably:
  1. Internet Explorer (53%)
  2. Firefox (19%)
  3. Chrome (11%)
  4. Safari (7%)
  5. Java (5%)
  6. Opera (1%)
  7. Mobile (<1%)
And you browser is likely to be running on
  1. Windows (84%)
  2. Macintosh (10%)
  3. Other Unix (2%)
  4. iPhone (1%)
  5. iPad (<1%)
  6. PlayStation Portable (<%)
  7. iPod (<1%)
  8. Linux (<1%)
  9. BlackBerry (<1%)
  10. Nintendo DSi (<1%)
How did you end up here?
To be fair mostly it's Google with a smattering of Bing, Twitter and Facebook.
Having just recently re-joined Facebook it'll be interesting to see if it rises up the pack.

Although NeoGAF is still bringing in the eyes.

AND - RedShoesDay gave this blog a spike as well ... just you wait for next year (Friday 18th June, 2011)!

And finally, what are most of reading?
Apart from Humour From The Wire, Item #182 (Letter Of The Year) which had such a huge hit it after apprearing on Digg (I think) needs to be taken out of the stats the following are the most popular posts.


Well, that's it ... and unlike the past I couldn't find any funny (!) search keywords directing people here ... sad :(

Make Your Public Event Calendar Usable To All

If you run a sports club, this post is for you. If you are on a community committee, this post is also for you If you host events, this is for you. If you put on shows, this is for you. In fact, if you do anything that has a date/time component that you'd like to share with people, this is for you . Yep, probably for all of us. Sharing calendars can be both: an effective way of letting everyone know a complete and utter technical pain in the bottomly region If you've posted up an events page onto your website you know how difficult it is to keep up to date, how the readers have to keep coming back to get the latest changes and don't even think about integrating with somebody else's "events page". Ok, so we all know the problem. What's the solution? iCalendar (normally shortened to iCal) ... yep, it's a geek word that you will come to know and love just as much as RSS. In fact, think of it as RSS for calendars. But that's enough geekery, if you want

The Difference Between One Million And One Billion

Image
It's feels like a billion is just a bit bigger than a million. Obviously it's bigger but it fits on the same scale as a million, surely. It doesn't. A billion is so so so much bigger than a million. I've trawled the internet finding graphics and videos that show the VAST difference between one million and one billion. Oh, and just to finish with a different misconception about space starting with the classic opening line from the great Douglas Adams and The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy : “Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.”

[Updated] Pubs of 2024 Monmouth

"Back in the day", yada yada yada, yes we all know there were more pubs than people, there was a pub every two houses, the largest number of pubs per square mile than anywhere in the known universe, there was a pub named after each and every one of us, and yet, YET we only ever went to same one every time. Monmouth has changed, it now only has 10 pubs.  "Ten! Ten? It used to be ten pubs just in the top of town. There were ten pubs I'd walk past to get to my local." Yes, yes ... times change, we now have 10 pubs in Monmouth . Oh, and the Mayhill but that seems to be more a ghost pub, it can be seen but only in the dark and no-one will believe if you say you went in. Monmouth, a town in Wales (YES, it is in Wales ), a town that has a population of around 10,317 (as at 2021). A town who's 1980's population was, well, I don't know, despite a century of censuses being taken, it's impossible to find (1991: 8,206 | 2001: 8,877 | 2011: 10,508 | 2021: 1
