Formula 1 Threats

Here in Canada we have had ann annual game recently of Formula 1 racing threatening to pull out all activities unless we change our anti-tobacco ad legislation. Now I read they are threatening the EU as well:

“The EU is strangled by unnecessary and excessive regulations,” said [F1 head Max] Mosley.

“If you are involved in something that is at the cutting edge you’ve got to question if this is the right place.

We are involved in something cutting edge…umm…cutting out the lies of death merchants. People are free to smoke – away from me if you please. Just don’t teach its virtues to my kids.

Inferior or Superior??

...honouring dot-matrix since 1979

Things seen in Napanee this afternoon. The Square Boy Pizza logo must be one of the last dot matrix brands left. I didn’t catch if the restaurant was inferior or superior.

The January Stats Are In

Confidence is High

Just to keep you advised of your activities, January 2004 was a big month. Hits up 55% at 2736 daily or 84830 for the month. Visits averaged 411 daily or 12754 for the month – up 19%. These stats are something of a mugs game with spiders, bots, wacky google mis-searches but the hit to visit ratio is good at 6.65 to one. This means each visit on average consists of 6.65 moves throughout on the site. It was 5.38 in December. Visits were from 4921 different places up about 25%.

RSS, reading through syndicated feeds, accounted for only 12% of hits, pretty much where it has been. Dutch hits at 565 exceed those from the UK at 538. The guy in Belize visited 34 times. Hello Belize guy. Top five searches:

  1. genx
  2. belinda stronach
  3. aa gill
  4. tijuana bibles
  5. names for teams

At this rate, by 2007, I will account for 36% of all internet traffic, will be a object of desire for porn fans and will also be a candidate for the presidency of the USA. That’s how it works, right?
