Website geekery!
Feb. 17th, 2004 12:32 amHubnut are the people who host my Ensemble Tours site, where I also occasionally put up music, and they're very nice. For example, today my server went over quota a bit, due to my friend Davie getting and sending some big emails. This cuts off access to email, which is a little irritating but just one of their features. I deleted a few big web files, got back into my email and deleted some of them, then emailed Hubnut. Ten minutes later, they gave me an extra 30MB of web space for free to compensate for the inconvenience. Yay! They also do webhosting with nice openwebmail account, reliable uptime and so forth for only £55 a year (plus domain name fees, but these are quite reasonable - I got ensembletours.com for £12.50 per year including web and email mirroring, and ensembletours.co.uk is £10 for two years.)
They also directed me to the correct stats page. I then discovered that 2 people have accessed my website in the past month through keyword searches for "pretty girls". Goodness knows how that happened - I do have one picture from a tour titled "because you can never have too many pictures of pretty girls" but I wouldn't have thought it would even show up in the first 100 pages of results on any search engine.
Other interesting keywords include chocolate. Yay!
I've had website visitors from the UK, USA, Canada, Italy, Netherlands, Germany, Australia, Spain, Estonia, Finland, France and Ascension Island (!!!!) in the last month.
Previous interesting origins include Lithuania, Mexico, someone from the US Government (eek!), Hong Kong, Argentina, Belarus, the US Military (EEK!), Colombia, Finland, Japan, Lebanon, Nepal and Saudi Arabia. Why the heck is anybody in the US military visiting my web site? Or the US government for that matter?
Reassuringly, 35 people have spent over an hour on a single visit in the last month, although most people only glance at the site for under 30 seconds and then seem to decide that it's not what they're looking for.
15-20 people have listened to my music in February, which is nice. Incidentally, does anyone know of a shareware program that will convert .wma files to .mp3 files well? I did find one, but it's added little jumps in places.
93.1% of visitors use Internet Explorer, but I also have visitors who use Firebird, Safari, Opera, WebTV Browser, Galeon and Konqueror (I haven't even heard of the last two.)
Spent a bit of the day going "ooh!" at those, and then got it together and did lots and lots of work, which was most satisfying, followed by orchestra rehearsal and raspberry beer.
