Browsers and Website Statistics

On October 4, 2011 By

With the cur­rent ver­sion of LunarStu­dio, I redesigned it with forward-thinking in mind ver­sus a legacy men­tal­ity. I don’t have the time to think of the worst-case or even aver­age view­ing sce­nario and frankly really can’t be dri­ven to care unless I’m get­ting paid to do so. The way I fig­ure it is that if a per­son is hav­ing prob­lems view­ing my web­site, then there’s a chance that they are some­what com­puter illit­er­ate, and this might make a work­ing sit­u­a­tion ten­u­ous at best — they’re sim­ply try­ing to jump from an era of dri­ving a horse and buggy to dri­ving the lat­est Fer­rari. I hope that this isn’t taken as being rude or con­de­scend­ing — I’m just merely stat­ing that a user needs to get with the times or risk becom­ing a thing of the past.

Cloudflare Comes to MediaTemple

On September 22, 2011 By

Some­thing worth not­ing for peo­ple look­ing for web­site host­ing is that my host, Medi­aTem­ple just announced that they part­nered up with Cloud­Flare. Cloud­Flare is a CDN, or Con­tent Deliv­ery Net­work. A CDN works by tak­ing “clones” of your web­site, and copy­ing them to various […]

Visitor Traffic Increase

On September 22, 2011 By

I noticed some­thing unusual in my web­site sta­tis­tics this morn­ing. Traf­fic to this blog had jumped from around an aver­age of 50 vis­i­tors a day to almost 600 vis­i­tors per day since Sep­tem­ber 20th. I’m still try­ing to fig­ure out what exactly caused this spike.

The only other times I’ve seen larger spikes is when some […]
