More Interesting than a Pine Cone



Locations of the first 100 visits to Hawk in the Rain in January 2007. Sort of. There's a sneaky IP in southern California that pretends it's out of Virginia.

I had been using a free Web stat service called Tracksy. At the New Year, Tracksy died. When the servers finally came back up, all of my data, my account, and I imagine tons of other people's accounts, were simply gone.

Tracksy begged for forgiveness. I think I'm a fairly forgiving person, but I could not continue to give no money to a tech company that didn't have a RAID back-up. So now I spend my $0.00 on StatCounter, which I like better anyway. Mainly because of the map. And because it's capturing dozens of visits Tracksy missed.

So thanks for crashing, Tracksy. You're like that bad break-up that opens the door for a fulfilling new relationship.

I do not know. The IP address doesn't even yield a country.
