Welcome, Whoever You Are

Last week, somebody evidently found the blog interesting enough to more than double the usual page view count:

Blog visitors - 2024-11-12
Blog visitors – 2024-11-12

Singlehandedly tripled the “Views per visitor” number from the usual 1.3-ish to 3.6, too.

It happens occasionally and sometimes I go back and read a few dozen posts just to remind myself what I was doing / thinking at the time.

    If you copy the blog entries of every Wednesday, assign the right phonemes to each letter, you have a musical encoding containing a message. Play it backward and hear “Paul is dead, miss him, miss him.”

    Follow up by using the Tuesday blog entries and you will hear Warren Buffett telling you “Shining Star in the eighth. The fix is in!”

    All this is easy except choosing the “right” phonemes. Let ChatGPT choose them for you.

    I mentioned your blog last week (11/15, so nothing to do with the spike on the 12th) with respect to 3D printers. That was in relation to the story about a software company that was trying to eliminate 3D printing of firearms-related designs. A spirited discussion came out about that and ways to avoid the censors.

    You might seem some visitors from accordingtohoyt dot com as a result. The specific posting was “uncharted-wilderness”. (I’ll skip the direct link. It was already posted on Instapundit.)
