Today I woke up — it was still dark because I had the blinds drawn, and so I expected it to be really late. Turns out it was only ten thirty in the morning. After lounging for a bit longer, I heard rain, so I got up and pulled up the blinds. Fairly heavy downpour. I actually like rain, so it was a nice way to start off the day. However, the rain quickly stopped, the sun brightened, and it was very nice out. I wore shorts, simply because I could.

Today I spent a lot of time uploading the pictures from my digital camera to Flickr. Most of these pictures were from this summer — and most of them were from my trip to Chicago for Lollapalooza. Be sure to check them out, either by visiting my flickr page, or the photos page on this site.

I discovered one minor annoyance with the plug-in that I’m using to have a photo page on here — it sorts everything by the date that it was taken, and not the date it was uploaded. Which is annoying if you’re uploading a bunch of old photos. Regardless.

I checked the site statistics today also, and they are continuing to progress nicely. I spend absolutely no time or money advertising the site, yet traffic continues to rise. To date, the site has had 4141 unique visits in October. This is compared to September, when it had 3788. The total number of hits for October has been 13750, down substantially from an April high of 64867. I chalk most of this up to taking away the bulletin boards, which inflated the total amount of pages loaded.

I’m content for a personal blog. The only thing that irritates me, is that I’m only using a fraction of what I’m paying for, bandwidth wise. I’m thinking of changing hosts in January. Unless they release an even cheaper, lower-frills plan. It’s possible.
