One of the great things about website statistics is that I can see who is checking my blog, where they are coming from and what they are reading. I know what country the readers are from, what browser they use, what time they read my blog. It’s very cool.

It also shows me how few people are actually reading my site. That doesn’t really bother me. You see, I scan through the logs fairly regularly and see a few entries recurring through the records. And so, here is a short thank you to those who keep coming back that I recognise in the logs.

Lily - you were the first person ever to comment on my blog. You always seem to show up when I am feeling down and cheer my right up. Thank you.

Grumble - a buddy from Frugal’s World. You stick out in the logs as the only person from Japan who visits here. You are a link to my other internet life. Thanks for coming round.

Fatman - you haven’t commented yet, but, your IP is the only hit from Canberra that shows up. I wish we could catch up this weekend when you are up here.

The strangest thing for me is that I am slowly coming to terms with the idea that people I actually know in real life might be reading this blog. I say things here that I probably wouldn’t say face to face. But, I am also getting things off my chest, and that has to be good in the end.

I’m still not sure if this blog will ever have a theme. My mind is just too random to follow one style, or subject for very long. My posts aren’t regular, and don’t have a strict format. I just write whatever is on my mind, whenever I get the urge. Maybe that’s the theme. My blog is my scratchpad.
