It's now nearly 6 months since I got started with this blog, and although I though I would give it up after a month or so, I've stuck at it and come to enjoy it :) As such, I've decided to do a bit of a round-up on how things have progressed since that rather blunt "first post" in last September.
How things change! I started off with comments on changes to SSC where I had the time and other programming things but before long, uni started to creep in and that's where things really started to grow. Things progressed (both on and off-line) and before long the effects of the lake being cut off were becoming evident and just a few weeks later, a bushfire started not too far from home although it was contained a few days later. Into 2008, the water levels continued to drop (some pretty good photos are available here if you haven't seen them yet) and a fair bit of work was done on V3 of SSC before finally deploying it (with some teething issues - some still visible) last week.
Now for some interesting tid-bits:
- March (last month) has been the busiest
- Yahoo! indexes far more often than Google, yet Google is the dominant search engine from visitors
- The most popular search terms (by far) have contained "7th guest" and "vista" - Unfortunately I won't have my solution ready for quite a while so I recommend you try DosBox or just set an old computer up (That's what I've done :) )
- I've had about 15 spam comments and Akismet stopped them all
- I've had about 11 non-spam comments - thanks a lot! :D These have been from
- Ryan Leach
- Katie
- spookypeanut
- Larry "Liontamer" Oj
Looking forward for the next 6 months :)

Just a quick note to mention the web feed has been playing around a little today. Has been some minor teething problems since I've updated from V2 to V3 of SSC!
Hope the new style looks ok across all browsers as I'm still in the process of checking each one.
