I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

Figures don't lie, but…

Okay, is someone with a big readership linking to my linkee-poo posts? 'Cause even though my posting schedule is way slower than it used to be, some of these numbers of unique views are just astronomical. I'm humbled, but I don't think it's really me. Did I get on someone's list or something?

I know, I should probably go crunch the numbers of where all these hits are coming from (there has been an increase in attempted spam and link farming lately). I just don't have the time at the moment.

Your job is well done. So revel in that. Eventually you get noticed, especially when a Jay Lake mentions he got something from you.

Hey Dr. Phil, part of it is the impostor syndrome. And I see a spike whenever Jay or the Slacktivist point back to me, but these numbers were way higher than what I see even then. It's like I'm almost popular. The other posts, the non-linkee-poo posts, all follow my regular readership numbers (which I'm happy to say that they continue to improve). But those linkee-poo numbers are a whole factor higher, which is what is causing me to wonder.
