So I was mucking about with WordPress and playing with SlimStat to check out statistics. It turns out there are, in fact, more than three of you, and some of ones I don’t know are very weird.
The first person ended up stumbling in from Australia and was, I think, looking at a post from last December when folks baked cookies at my apartment for hours on end. I don’t imagine that reader will be coming back.
The other person ended up here by searching on Microsoft’s Live.com (I didn’t know anyone actually used that!) for “Pictures of Cats with Pulled Out Hair”. It turns out that my Pictures category is number seven with a bullet, baby! These are the 4 pictures I uploaded before I started using flickr and most of them are cats. I can’t imagine the terror one must feel when attempting to search for hairless cats and stumbling upon Omar instead. What’s even better is that this post will probably rocket to the top of the charts. Welcome searchers-for-hairless-cats! You’re at the wrong site. I’m sorry.
Finally, there are a few requests for RSS/Atom feeds going on. I can’t tell if these are bots or actual humans. I also am clueless about this feed as I never use RSS, so if you’re reading this through RSS or Atom and you sure wish I’d change the format to something else, please drop me a line and let me know.
To end our randomness in a truly nerd-like fashion, here’s a link for all you trying to figure out who to vote for in the 2008 election.
I was looking at your Pictures section trying to work the cats thing out. Is it the denuded tree, you suppose? Few people must use the word “denuded” on the internets, which is a real shame.
I think it’s the bottom picture in that category, with the cat toy you gave us for Halloween. That post has the words “out”, “hair” and “pulled” fairly close together. Add in the mention of cats above and I’m guessing that’s why Google sent them there. My first two, non-WordPress related searches were the one above and “shortest, haircut” which brought them to when I had my hair chopped off last January. Apparently this is some sort of trend, perhaps indicating that I should just shave my head bald and post photos of it.
Well, we’ve been telling you to do THAT for years.
I actually just got a new kitten. She is so cute, I am so happy I saved up to get her. I can’t understand how some people don’t like cats.
