Post No. 452 - A personal (minor) "wow"

Wow - I've got there. Where, do I hear you ask? Well, no, I don't actually literally hear that, but I'll explain anyway :)

I've just attained 10,000 views of my blogs since the statistics tool became available - and I started to use it, which was actually a little bit after it had become available.

One of the pleasures which has kept me working at this blog is knowing that other people are looking at it. I don't get anything specific: I don't if people looking at the blog like it or not, but I do know that I have a certain number of views from a particular country in a particular period (I can select day, week month and "all time", which really only goes back to when I started using this particular tool), and I find it absolutely fascinating to see what countries people are viewing this blog from. I celebrate when I see another nation in the list of places where my audience (Blogger's term, not mine) is located.

I know 10,000 views over several years makes me a minnow in the world of the Internet, but it does tend to make me feel that my efforts are not totally wasted (not totally as organised as I would like yet, but I'm working on that as time, energy and health permit :) ).

Now for 100,000 views ... :)

[2] Please see here and my post "The Death of Wikipedia" for the reasons I now recommend caution when using Wikipedia. I'm also exploring use of h2g2, although that doesn't appear to be as extensive (h2g2 is intended - rather engagingly - to be the Earth edition of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy").

Love, light, hugs and blessings

My "blogiography" is here.  

I started this blog to cover karmic regression-rescue (see here and here), and it grew ...  See here for my group mind project, here and here for my "pagans for peace" project, and here for my bindrune kit-bag.
  • May the world of commerce and business be recognised to be a servant, not a master, of the lives of people.
  • A home is for living in, not feeling, becoming or being rich or a “better” class than others.
  • The secret to being (financially) rich is not to have lots of money: it is to have an income above the poverty line, and then make whatever sacrifices are necessary in order to live within 90% of your means.  
  • Like fire to the physical, emotions to the soul make a good servant, and a bad master. 
  • Armageddon is alive and well and happening right now: it is a battle between the indolence of "I only ..." and/or "I just ..." and what Bruce Schneier [2] calls "security theatre" on one side, and perspicacity and the understanding that the means shape the end on the other. 
  • The means shape the end.  
  • Sometimes you just can't argue with a biped that is armed with a sharp stick, a thick head and not too much in the way of grunts.
  • Spiritual love is far more than just an emotion - it is a concept, thoughts, actions and a way of living.

True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it is not haphazard and superficial. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
