Please accept my sincerest apologies for my shift to linkmongery here of late. Non-blog writing responsibilities are all coming due at oncet and I’m having to put all my words over there.

That said, sometime yesterday, this site passed the 150k lifetime visitors mark. Hopkin continues to ripple out into the world; yesterday a large number of visitors began arriving from European addresses. Watching the traffic is quite fascinating and makes me wish I had the time to do proper traffic analysis. As it is, when I do write about it, my evidence will be largely anecdotal. If I claim a number of vistiors from off-planet addresses or with six-part IP addresses, rest assured, I’m playing the literary game of the unreliable narrator.
