500 visitors … A new record!
While reviewing yesterday’s stats, I found out that I got a little more than 500 visits, never reached it! I know, some might say: “Yeah, too bad, that’s the lowest number I can expect”, but for me, it’s the highest number of visits.
I would not write about it if it were not very different; in fact, the maximum visitors I used to get was for about 260, and the average is 170~220; however, such a number made me confused. As I worry about security, I analyzed the 3000 lines of the raw log file, looking for spiders, viruses, worms or whatever (since I have already set a policy that filters unwanted robots and malicious scripts) and excluded Google, Yahoo and the “inoffensive” bots, and again, I found out that the 500 visitors were “humans”!
Later, I guessed about the reason: Google had just updated my blog and increased my rank, which results a huge number of visits looking for different topics. There were even people from countries I have almost no informations about: Mongolia, Kenya, Trinidad and Tobago, Laos, Faroese Island, …
Dear visitor, you are not just a number. Whoever you are, wherever you come from, whatever you look for, please feel welcome to my blog; I hope the information you get was useful, and don’t hesitate to publish your opinion, as long as you respect discussion rules, and people who will read you.

The nearest star to the Earth, apart from the Sun, is Proxima Centauri, which is 39.9 trillion kilometers, or 4.2 light years away. I am not a star (yet), since I keep my feet on the Earth.
