I just enabled web logs on this site a couple of weeks ago. I hadn't bothered before because, well, there was nothing here. Anyway, I'm looking over them, and it's just weird. THERE ARE STRANGERS READING MY SITE. Who the hell are you people? I mean, the usual suspects are there; if I know you, I can pretty easily tell when it's you just by geographical location. But then I have people from Oracle and McGraw-Hill visiting regularly. Someone from Chicago. Who the hell are you?
Then someone appears to have picked up the hurricane image and mailed it around; I got a few people going straight to that (i.e., not from any of the web pages). I could tell it was mailed around because the Thai visitor came from a message accessed through Hotmail. There was a Chinese person and a couple of Brits, as well as many more. A bunch of people came because of that picture, actually, mainly through MSN search for Hurricane Isabella. That's fine. Don't link straight to the pictures, though. See down there where it says "Posted at...?" That's a direct link to that post. So for the Hurricane Isabella post, which includes the picture, you would link to http://ketan.org/post/607. I'm not big on self-promotion, at least web-wise, but I'd rather people knew there was an actual site here instead of it being a dumping ground for interesting pictures to send their friends.
Anyway, back to my main point. If you're someone who visits off and on and you don't know that I know who you are or that you're doing so, well, drop me a line. The curiosity is killing me. I don't get many hits, but I get far more than I thought I would, even ignoring the seemingly hourly visits from MSN's search bot.
On another note, you guys really seem to like the Seattle pictures. That's good. I like them too. I still feel a pang of regret about the almost perfect picture being ruined by my clumsiness.
