Pete's Log: more bike gear and some pointless statistics
Entry #502, (Life in General)(posted when I was 22 years old.)
So since I discovered today that I actually have more money that I thought I did (a rent check that I didn't think had gone through yet has actually already gone through), I decided to buy the Cateye Mity3 - CC-MT300 Cyclometer off rei.com. It cost me 27 dollars and weighs 0.92 ounces. It will keep track of current speed, average speed, maximum speed, total maximum speed, trip distance, total distance, it has a stop watch, a clock, automatic on/off, and is waterproof. I had a similar toy in high school and had much fun with it, so I figured I'd get a new one, since I no longer have the old one... I also wanted to procrastinate from numerical methods, so rei.com seemed like as good a means as any... it should be here monday or tuesday. I also found it amusing that when you go to look at your shopping basket on rei.com they have what can only be called an impulse buy section kinda like they have at the checkout lanes in supermarkets. they offered things such as powerbars and socks. i managed to resist the great temptation of the socks.
so today i got another amusing hit to the log: somebody had done a search for "kung fu skirt fighting" and found the log. and since i'm getting probably two hits a day now for star trek porn, i checked yahoo. if you put those terms in quotes, i'm like the fourth site that comes up (out of seven) ... so inspired by this and by The Sluggy Freelance Statistics Page, I did a count on the log. The entire log has about 65000 words in it. The word "porn" shows up 20 times. "Star Trek" shows up 24 times. "skirt" shows up twice. fighting shows up once. I think maybe I'll try some kinda more sophisticated analysis of this. And I'm also considering parsing referrer url's in order to automate keeping track of the amusing searches that hit my log. perhaps over break... now i must return to numerical...
