everybody wants to see my boobies

[ilanarama]

Since I've been letting people in various circles and various lists know about our website changes and upcoming adventures, I thought I'd take a quick look at the website stats to see if people are actually listening to me and going to look. Our web machine is run by a friend, and she has Webalyzer stats, so it only gives the top so many hits (and referrers, and pages, etc.) but it's better than nothing. I almost forgot it existed because I haven't looked at the stats in a very long time.

So for the first week of November I thought I might see some hits on our blogger page, and indeed it's the fourth-most-requested URL. But the most popular by far - nearly double the hits of the next most-requested - is, oddly, a page from our cruising logs, and at first I was completely baffled as to why people were looking at this particular page out of all our adventures. Then I saw the search terms used to find our site. The most popular (again, by a ridiculous amount): boobies.

As it turns out, if you do a Google image search on "boobies"

(This is a picture of two very stupid brown boobies who got tangled up in our fishing line while we were sailing from Carriacou to Grenada.)

Visits to my site skyrocketed when I added a page called "breast.html." Boy I bet those people were peeved to see it was all text - and all about the legal wrangling over silicone breast impants.

Boobies

That's no fishing line: it's a booby trap!

In my old computer lab, we used to name the computers after
bird species.

Once we got two new disk servers which I named Booby and Tit.

The boss made me change them to something else.

Nice boobies, if a bit stupid. Different colouration, but they are quite similar to gannets (http://www.rspb.org.uk/birds/guide/g/gannet/index.asp) (actually, they look very similar to immature gannets).

Heh. I've done something similar.

I usually name computers after female friends. So I had debbie.telos.com and shelley.telos.com and
so forth. Then our division was renamed "Telos Information Technologies". So I did the obvious
and redubbed machines, such as shelley.tit.telos.com. The division was re-renamed promptly.
