My web traffic quintupled over the last couple days. The above is a capture of the top referrers from the last 1000 visitors (courtesy of sitemeter.com).

Most of the traffic seems to be coming from a couple blog sites -- one is "attu.blogspot.com", which probably due to its emphasis on sex-related blogs has a *lot* of traffic. The other, interestingly enough, is an Argentinian site, elvistazo.com.ar, which also seems to draw traffic with pics of pretty girls. They're both featuring the same pic of a girl in a blue thong, so there's obviously a lot of back and forth.

I wonder which site swiped the link from which. ;)

Oh, and my elonka.com site passed the 1.3 million mark in page views:

] [#60] Elonka's List of Famous Unsolved Codes and Ciphers

I was checking my weblogs, and saw that my average hits/day jumped from 60/day to over 2000/day on my "Famous Unsolved Codes" page... Many of the links are coming from bbspot and metafilter. I'm not sure what started the meme today, but my guess is that I landed on bbspot as one of their "daily links", and it took off from there.

Whee!

This is a new blog page that was created by my childhood friend Andy Mishkin. In it he's documenting some of the day-to-day activities at JPL. Fun reading!
