Visitor Stats

I use Statcounter to track hits on this blog, and, thanks to a comment on Wil Wheatons blog, and links from British poker bloggers web site following last Sundays British blogger tournament, I'm getting more than I've ever had before. Therefore, there is actually some volume of data for Statcounter to report on:

Operating System


Perc. Operating System



49.00%Windows XP



34.00%Linux



9.00%Windows 2000



3.00%Windows 2003



1.00%Mac OS X

34% of visitors to this blog use Linux. I'd like to say that its a sign of Linux taking off, but it's really because of a post I made about wireless networking on Ubuntu. Given that wireless networking is one of the biggest problems in setting up a Linux system, it's been quite popular.

Browser

Perc. Browser Name Version


39.00%Firefox2.0.0


37.00%MSIE6.0


8.00%Opera9.10


7.00%Firefox1.5.0


5.00%MSIE7.0


2.00%Mozilla5.0


1.00%Firefox2.0


1.00%Safari1.2

Similarly, the reason for Firefox topping the browser stats will simply be because of the high proportion of Linux users coming here.

I haven't got any weird search keywords bringing people here. The most common is "ubuntu wpa-key".
