Aargh. I hate this day. See that little map in the column on the right? Yesterday it was filled with hundreds of dots. It's a total ego thing I admit (I still remember being thrilled when I got my first non-US dot!), but, hey, I'm human, and blogging can be a lonely business. The map is kind of like a full answering machine: When you come home to lots of messages, you get to think, "Hey, I'm popular."
I know, I know... pathetic...immature...
Anyway, once a year Clustr map archives everything, and you lose your dots. Apparently, yesterday was the day. So it's back to an empty-looking map for a while. Oh, well. It's good to be humble, right?
And now for something completely different....
I don't think I've posted the link to my Mongolian blog here. I'll be blogging my travel/adventures/mishaps there, if you're interested. It will be a totally non-library, non-tech blog, though. Just my travels and impressions. Today I blogged about Mongolian Death Worms. You just gotta love the sound of that.
Here's the link: Me and Genghis Khan
Look at all the red dots you have now! Does it count when I read your posts in my Google Reader or do I have to click through to the site to be counted?
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip.
grin--yeah, they actually notified me a couple days ago that they were archiving, and said they always wait 2-3 days before putting up the new map. In fact, they even said it was because people like to have dots, so obviously I'm not the only one! : )
ReplyDeleteOf course readers count...I'm really not all that fussed about the dots. I'm just glad to know people are reading and enjoying the blog!
