Not So Much a Cry For Help - More of a Whimper Really

I have a hunk of code here that runs whenever someone reads DLOG that is supposed to tell me how name people are reading this thing. Well, that's what I thought anyway. It turns out that I have a hunk of code here that runs whenever someone arrives here, let's the page fully load, and has javascript enabled on their browser.

As such, I have no idea of how many people actually come to this site. I suppose it doesn't matter, since I'm not in it for profit or anything, but it would be nice to know. My fragile ego and all that - I'm sure you understand.

It is for this reason that I am asking each person who reads today's post to put in a comment. You don't have to be witty or relevant. Put in your favorite word. Put in a link to your own awesome website. Put in that picture you have on your cellphone of you going into leather shops and trying on clothing involving way too many straps.

On second though, let's keep the images out of this.

My goal is to get sort of a base that I can compare the analytical software on to find out how many hits per day it's not counting. I can then use this almost certainly wrong and somewhat arbitrary offset to convince myself that the work I'm doing here is reaching out to a wide audience, and that my deep and serious ruminations on such things as urinal placement, the decision not to change Luke Skywalker's last name and of course monkeys are really time well spent.

Come on people, you've got to help me believe.
