Referrer Stats Added

I’ve wanted to do this for a while …

After tracking where people are finding links to this site for for several months, I’ve included a page with a live update with these figures.

What’s this useful for? Absolutely nothing. Except, I now have the makings of a homegrown stats package, written in Java, so I can reuse it for other things.

One idea is to also track the browsers people are using. Maybe operating systems too. So anyone who’s actually coming to this site by clicking a link from somewhere else … you can feel privileged to add to my stats ;)

Yes, it has absolutely no use except for curiosity and a good challenge to get it working.

See the stats here, or click Stats in the navigation bar above.

Edit: They’ve gone. Too revealing for comment spam (thanks Cedric).  Looks like I’ll be tracking User Agents instead.

Edit: Browser stats added.
