Notes on today's comic (14 Jun 2010):

Am I jealous of the fact that someone had the weird idea of making shapes out of rubber bands, and making a fortune out of them? Well, yeah, quite frankly (shame on me!).

News, Views and Just Plain Schmooze...

On the upside, there's been a visitor from Vietnam, bringing the country list up to 81 members... but on the downside, I'm inclined to wonder if I've scared away the visitor from Trondheim in Norway because of mentioning their city! Come back! :(

Well, it seems the supply of countries has dried up again for the moment, but not the visits - up until yesterday, there have been just 3 short of 5,300!

A few items, this time: First of all, a resident of Barbados has been to visit the site, bringing the total up to 80! Word is certainly getting around - even though it seems that most visits are single ones... though I do know that there are people who come back! A special thanks to those people!

Speaking of which, Google Analytics gives clues as to how often people come back (subject to shifting IP addresses): the "new visit percentage". For example, the USA is presently logged (from 22 Dec 08 to 15 May 2010) as 2,756 visits, but 81.60% new visits, though this can be misleading, because many Internet providers assign users a different "location" each time you visit. However, Norway (#4 on the list with 128 visits) has only a 3.91% new visit rate, of which the city of Trondheim has a 1.61% rate! As far as I can tell, I seem to have quite a fan in Trondheim! Thank you! (Please remember that I don't know who this person is, nor where they live, other than the city itself!)

Last but not least, Canada (#3) has gone over 200 visits, so thanks also to the Canadian readers!

Yet another country, which makes 79... The latest is Switzerland! Oh, in case anyone is worried about Google Analytics (which I'm using to get information about visitors to the site), I would just like to point out that the closest anyone can get with the service is down to the city, town or village; it's not like I can track down anyone's address with the thing! Besides, I'm too damned lazy to be a stalker in any case :)
