People literally walk into you. It happens over and over. They just don't look. How do you avoid collisions? I haven't figured it out!

Matt told me that WordPress.Com has a blog stats page for every weblog, I had never seen it, but when I got home I <a href="http://images.scripting.com/archiveScriptingCom/2006/01/20/wordpressstats.gif">checked it out</a>, and it's pretty cool. FYI, the post that got so many hits on Jan 12 appears to be the <a href="http://scripting.wordpress.com/2006/01/12/the-story-of-desktop-web-servers-2/">mystique of desktop web servers</a>, and rightly so.

They looked at me strangely and asked if I had a Pro account, and I said I did, it was a gift from <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/stewart/">Stewart</a>. Then they told me that's why I didn't see any ads. Ahhhh. I guess when I point to something on Flickr y'all see ads? Uh huh. Oh. Kay. Now I'm slightly less pleased than before. (Postscript: The ads <i>don't</i> appear on my Flickr pages when other people view them.)
