The month of February opened with a bam and ended with some turbulence. The bam was my post about the police lockdown at UBC, which attracted quite an influx of visitors and 報社的注意subsided-traffic.jpg

As expected, the traffic influx subsided, although the baseline was somewhat raised (from 30 to 50?).On the other hand, a random post about downloading pictures from Motorola Razr attracted continuous traffic throughout the month, totaling almost 500, putting it just behind the feverish lockdown entry.So, in a month, I learned that two types of entries attract visitors:

  1. Hot, pressing news that no one else has blogged about,
  2. Topics that the geek-generation – the primary users of the internet – would be interested in.

Everything else, like old time ethical debate, dreamed up poker game that no one would ever try, Whistler trip planning, and dissing GMail can only amuse a few friends. Although dissing GMail had an added bonus: someone left a comment about how to fix the problem!

中文的部分,從點閱率來說的話簡直是慘不忍睹。在WordPress寫中文,本來就擺明了自娛娛人,再加上一篇篇英文蝌蚪文,不中不西,自討苦吃。不過我的格我做主。斷斷續續的連載武俠沒人看,一次更新要兩小時,我還是照寫不誤(雖然延稿好像有點久)。

挖了幾篇特別喜歡的舊文:寫單戀苦情的稻草人、寫人小鬼大心情煩躁的歌詞。算是秀給大學認識的朋友看的(大學認識的,會讀中文的,會來逛我的網誌的… 呃,最多小貓三隻?)

後來經歷了一些風浪,滿腔情緒溢出於指上,網誌也黑暗了一個禮拜。現在好些了,暫時把emo文收起來,自己回憶。

還碰到了一個同樣到WordPress發表中文創作的糊塗人,寫的短篇小說還挺有趣,也稍稍討論了在WP寫中文的利弊得失。不過他大概發現自己是迷路來的,好像沒再寫新文了。
