p. I noticed something a bit odd about my referrer logs the other day. In the statistics for visitors' domains, guess which country with a known domain comes sixth in the list of most frequent visitors? Go on, have a go.
p. Give up? Well, I'll tell you--it's everyone's favourite volcanic Caribbean island, ["Montserrat":http://www.mvo.ms/]. So after .com, .net, .uk, .ca and .edu, .ms is right up there with the big domains. The domain sucks down a lot of pages, but very little bandwidth, so I have no idea what that means. My guess is that it's some Montserratian robot or spider, but I would love to think that I had some real, live Montserratian readers; one eye on the screen and the other on the active volcano, I would imagine.

This might just be me
My machine I am running the aggregator on is located in germany (as the rest of me is), but has a reverse DNS to simon.bofh.ms - bofh.ms being my main domain.
The .ms is actually a inside joke around here, as MS is the car-sign for my hometown, M�nster. But it shouldn't pull down much pages, only the RSS feed. It doesn't use up much bandwidth, as it only fetches the file when there was a change in the page.----- Excellent!
I hope that you at least have a Montserrat flag mounted on your computer monitor in homage!
