eyedropper.co.uk goes into hibernation
April 20, 2008
Hello. Just a wee note to let you know that, like the Blue Peter tortoises, eyedropper.co.uk is going into a bit of a dormant state while I concentrate on the Big Food Map project I’m doing for Channel 4.
The odd thing might appear on my Flickr stream, but for the next seven months it’s out with the carbonite on eyedropper.co.uk as I’ll be posting a lot less than I all ready am.
I’ll take a moment to reflect here on my small contribution to the internet. I started eyedropper.co.uk on the 11th January 2004, have I contributed anything worthwhile? Here’s what the WordPress stats machine had to say about my all time top posts.
| 4oD on a mac | 4,907 | |
| Athena Classics: Tennis Girl | 3,737 | |
| 4oD on a Mac Part II | 2,427 | |
| The History of the Channel 4 logo and id | 1,336 | |
| Michelle wins the Apprentice.. what’s he | 763 |
So it seems 4oD on a Mac and the history of the Channel 4 logo were popular, along with photographs of girls, one scratching her arse, the other spent a few weeks working for Sugar.
What’s more the top five search terms that people used to find my blog are as follows:
| michelle ryan | 10,948 |
| drunk girl | 4,073 |
| 4od mac | 3,011 |
| michelle dewberry | 2,664 |
| spit roast | 2,416 |
Sigh. At times like this your with Leo McGarry’s view of the personal computer..’A more efficient delivery system for gossip and pornography? Where’s my jet pack, my colonies on the Moon?‘
Anyway, I’ve really enjoyed blogging on eyedropper, I hope I’ve at least made some of you not looking for Muchelle Ryan images or how to run 4oD on a Mac laugh along the way.
I’ll be back in seven months.
All the best
Andrew
