a contest

alright, viewers. here's the current browser stats:

40% of my viewers use internet explorer
36% use opera
16% use mozilla firefox
5% use Safari (hi jon and meredith)
3% use netscape

now, mozilla users, you're going to have to check this thing hardcore style if you want to get in the game. jon and meredith, i think it's hopeless. same for the netscapers.

but i'd like to see some friendly competition between IE and opera. this could be fun.

have at it.

I mostly use IE. What the heck is Opera!? I've never heard of such an internet thing.

uh oh.

i unblocked my IP address coz i think it was blocking all IWU addresses. here's an update:

47% IE
30% Opera
14% Mozilla
6% Safari
3% Netscape


Come on, Opera. Pull yourselves together. Get in the game!

I'm giving Mozilla a trial run since you enlightened me with its benefits in Chapel. Just want to reciprocate the conversion efforts.

IE with 61%.

Opera r00lz, y'all.I should have been contributing to Opera's stats, but I just looked at my settings and I had it set to identify itself as IE. So whatever percentage Uncle Carl represents should be removed from IE and credited to Opera. Sank you velly much.

I wouldn't trust those stats too much. Everyone at IWU is behind IWU's proxy server, so they all will be reported as using the same IP address. Likewise, since I use dial-up, every time I connect I have a slightly different address. It might report me as more than one user

yeah i noticed the same IP address thing for IWU. that sux0rs.

in the past 36 hours, though, IWU'rs have spent over 23 hours viewing my blog.

you kids need lives.

just kidding. stay here. enjoy yourselves.
