Site-meter / Self-meter

.....................................................................................
Sitemeter challenge.

First off, let me start be admitting I can be a complete dolt.

Here's a little insight to the functioning of Brad's brain:

I've finally figure out how to get Sitemeter working on this blog. I'll even admit having done it before on my old blog but it was still confusing.

For me.

Yes, Gay I maybe, but I'm THAT kinda guy.

Instructions ? Frrurp !

Finally getting it to work means: I finally READ the instructions without using the Evelyn Woods Speed Reading method. If you're under 40 and don't know what that is, don't ask and I'll continue too love you. If you're over 40 and don't know, ask so I can mock you. With love.

So once I got it working I noticed the handy little 'cheat' feature where you can up the number of site visits counted. My first thought was to set it for a million and then I could just watch the last two digits roll over. But that would be dishonest. The blog has been up since Nov. so I couldn't let my poor little sitemeter only reflect 1 visitor, me seeing if it was working. (When I have better numbers I'll remove my own IP)

So what to do ?

I can't really know how many folks have been here? I needed a solution. It took a minute (and this is good for me) to think: Hey ! just tally up the number of comments and change it to that !

Brilliant !

***pats self on back***

So I'm scrolling through the posts and realize I've got about 50+ posts. Better get the calculator. I go downstairs to find calculator and of course it's not in it's 'spot'.

Nothing ever is.

No problem, I can count in my head.

'Here's 3, 7 there, there's 4 more...2, 1 , 4'

Partner: (from the kitchen) Honey ? What do you think about dinner ?

Me: (mentally: Shit!) "I'm all for it - whatcha making ?"

More conversation commenced and finished.

'Here's 3, 7 there, there's 4 more...2, 1 , 4, 2, 5, 1, 3,'

Partner: "Honey ? where's Bear's brush?"

Me: (Out loud) Shit ! What ?

Partner comes up stairs.

I explain.

I got a hard stare for about 3.5 seconds (time it, it's a long time)

Partner: "Freak"

Me: "Yeah, but I'm your freak"

So there you go.

I give you Sitemeter ! (over there, on your right, under the other crap)

Which means nothing too anyone but me. I started it out at 192 - the 193rd visit was just me checking to see if it worked. If you don't beleive me go count the comments yourself and report back. I'll adjust it. I'll take out my IP soon - Promise.

We all know the real number would be in the thousands. Right ?
