The Huz Experience

Things I’ve tried desperately to shoehorn into a different category, but they just won’t go.

Visitor Stalking

Wednesday 2nd March 2005 | 0 comments

I must admit, I often get curious about how my visitors happen across this site, especially when they seem to pop up from nowhere. Should I know this person? Are they perhaps someone I wronged in a past life, or some kind of deranged fan? Or is there a more rational explanation? I suspect so, but that doesn’t mean I know what it is!

In an attempt to answer this question, I cracked open the server logs for the first time in ages. Among the more interesting findings…

  • Some Welshie who shall remain nameless is such a fanboy, they have their copy of Thunderbird firing requests at my RSS every minute. That’s dedication! That’s also a great way to fill my logs. :~
  • Some bloke on a German forum decided to link to my Melee Island 3D trailer, making my bandwidth usage rocket for one day only in the process. Hooray?
  • People consistently arrive here looking for Consolevania, even though what they’re looking for is the top result on Google and this site is pages back! Are the Consolevania boys possibly being a bit vain, or are people on the internet that stupid? Actually, don’t answer that.

My only regret is I don’t get the array of silly Google queries that Remi seems to get. Maybe in time, eh? Maybe in time. If I can be arsed updating more than once a month.

Hey there. The Huz Experience would be a right pain to administer without WordPress, and would be overrun with spam for questionable knob potions without Akismet. Thanks chaps!
