One of the interesting aspects for a blogger might be to know where her/his readers are from. At least, this is something that I would like to know.
Technically, it is not a real problem as every visitor offers its IP address while accessing a website and usually those information and others - like user agent, browser capabilities, preferred languages, etc. - are logged by the web server. Running any kind of log analyzing software like AWStats, WebLog or utilizing external services like Google's Webmaster Tools visualizes that data to the interested site owner.
But what about some more transparency and on-the-spot-visualiztion? I mean, wouldn't it be nice to show your readers that they are not alone on your site? Well, lately I found exactly this kind of visualization on another website and from there I dropped at who's amung us. They offer an easy to use, customizable and free 'map widget' in JavaScript and Flash that can be integrated into a website. Actually, it took me more time to make up my mind about the UI properties than putting the resulting code into my blog site. Take a look here:
GeoLocation of 'Get Blogged by JoKi' reader.
Of course, the services of who's.amung.us only displays the locations the very moment you start using their widget. It would have been nice to provide existing web server logs for the initial setup. But, hey... it's a nice gimmick / gadget and it's for free!
Sincerely, JoKi |

Hm, not yet.
Well, we already know that members of my family come to stay at our place (for five and two weeks) but aside of this, we do not have any detailed plans on how to spend Christmas and New Year's Eve. But for sure, it will be my first Christmas ever at the beach. We already went shopping for tree and Christmas decorations last weekend.
In terms of business, well, I do not know, if there will be an End of Year party 2008. Currently, there are no plans - or at least I have no information about that. Maybe there will be a surprise... Who knows.
Kind regards, JoKi

Since a couple of days part of my family is here in Mauritius for holidays. Well, they stay for about four weeks and based on the fact that our next generation keeps us quite busy, it is really welcoming to have some members of the family around.
It is also quite interesting to see their reactions after roughly two weeks and that they already fear the near end of their stay. Well, I guess that are already 'infected by the Mauritius fever'... Who knows. Anyways, it will not be their last time here.
We are already 'booked' for December and January by another sister and her boyfriend for their second visit...
Well, well, it's good to see that both families get to know each other.
Sincerely, JoKi

Finally, I got access to one of my local SQL databases with a couple of more articles from my previous blog. It's really interesting to see what I've written throughout the past. Well, today I was able to migrate about 50 more articles from that database. It seems that the content is still a little bit weird but I'm going to correct this behaviour with regular expressions here in the new blog software. That's easier than to modify all those entries. Funnily, most of the articles are from the year 2006 and 2007. Personally, I like the reports about my poly phase sleeping experiment in spring 2006 the most. It really worked and was a cool experience. Maybe I'll start this again later this year... Who knows. So, please stay tuned and I'll promise to provide more content within the next days. Sincerely, JoKi |
