Today, my little Celestia Texture Foundry site,
http://www.celestiaproject.net/~t00fri/texfoundry.php4
has surpassed 10 000 visits since July 26th 2002!
I am amazed...

"Mind games" with 10 000 visitors...
"Mind games" with 10000 visitors...
===================================
Well, anyway, now I have 10 000 /alive/ host addresses. What could I do with
them;-)?
Sure enough, I might sell them to SPAMmers with the special
addition: alive "hires texture freak" address;-). Sure enough, a few
days later, they would send off instead some "dirty babe hires textures"
to those of you who have visited my site. What a "joy" for
the few bucks they'd pay me...
So, let us better skip this alternative, since, anyway, I seem to be one of the
least commercially minded people in this forum;-)...
What else could I do with my new "treasure"??
What about this one: A good glass of (german) beer and a few lines of
Perl code would be enough to extract from my hostname file a very interesting
nationality distribution of people interested in Celestia
textures. NOT bad. What do you guess? Who will win?
After this warming-up exercise, I could look at the number of .com
addresses correlated with the (local) time of visit. That would give us a hint
about the number of (mostly american) visitors who were supposed to
earn money for their employer (.com) but instead preferred to download
hires-textures during working hours... not bad either;-).
Finally, we would all be interested, of course, in the fraction of
/female/ downloaders of age below 25 or so...Sorry, here I quit.
Bye bye

The bad thing is .. these ips are mostly dynamic i guess :P

Hi, hi, solche Sachen tippen sich ?brigens am besten im Kopfstand zur Entlastung der R?ckenmuskulatur nach getaner Arbeit;-)

I had a look: strangely enough the earlier addresses (August, September) were largely fixed IP's while lately (Celestia in Sky and Telescope??) they have become largely dynamical, indeed...
Anyway, this was about /mind games/ only...

WTF? lol This must fall under the category " massochistic pleasures" :P
well, with the ips i think at first people who got to do much with celestia, students or another target group was visiting the foundry, university etc. pp. now that the lesser folks are also discovering your texture foundry ...
just some random thoughts ;-)
