Something for Nothing I've been using a free service for sometime now to record statictics on this sites traffic. I'm pretty sceptical about anything 'free' on the web these days. You usually pay in some way, even if its not in money. You'll pay in spam mail, or the free thing will be missing a couple of really important features, which you can only get by upgrading. My experience with this free web-site statistics service has been different. It has all the features I need (and a few extras to boot). I get one pop-up ad (tasteful ones) when I check my sites stats and thats it! No nagging emails telling me about features I missing out on, or advertising something else entirely. No banners. No reminders to register. I don't even have to link to them if I don't want to. In appreciation of this better than expected service, I thought I'd give them a free plug here. So if your after a good free service to track your websites traffic, try Statcounter.com. 7:52:14 PM    Comment []

Woo HOO! I am now offically on holiday. I have the next two weeks off work, to do with as I please. I have no solid plans, just possibilities at this stage. Just two goals: finish the house painting. Just the window and door frames to go now..... kite buggy on at least one beach I've never buggyed on before (Pohara Beach in Takaka, Woodend Beach near Christchurch, and Carters Beach in Westport spring to mind. ) Hopefully I'll achieve more than just those two things but alot will depend on the weather, which right now is raining 'cats & dogs'. I was thinking of returning to the Waihopai River tomorrow (Good Friday) but with all this rain there might be too much water! I was hoping the rain would ease this afternoon, but leave the north-east wind that had carried it. It would have made for perfect conditions to head to Rabbit Island beach after work for a kite buggy. Instead, because it was still pouring down, I came home, turned on the heater, stereo, and laptop, and learnt how to fake a lightning strike in photoshop ;D thanks to this tutorial. Have a good Easter! 9:50:11 PM    Comment []
