An oddity…I have a meter on this page that records the number of times someone lands here and it also records how many page views, how long on each page and various other odd bits of data. So one day as I was looking at the statistics, I noticed that I could also find out where the recent visitors were from. OK, not really; what I could find was the location of the server that they were using. I pulled up the data and was surprised at how detailed it was. If I wanted to I could even populate a world map with little dots representing the visitors and their locations.
Here they are. This is just for the past 80 visitors and I took out the repeats. Vina was in there about 10 times and so was Linn Creek, Missouri. Of course some of those locations had to be “me”, though I don’t have any idea as to where Hughes.net keeps their server. This is a satellite service, but I know there’s no server floating around in space. I’m thinking maybe it’s in Linn Creek?

I am a little worried about the two from Washington, DC…who was that?
Nice stats! A lot of readers from pretty interesting places. Do these people do word searches or blog searches to wind up on your site? Not sure how that all works
