The Question: The FeedBurner subscription count on my blog varies between 500-3500/day (?). TypePad and Google tell me several hundred to thousand/day land here via search, direct visits or social media. Stats are nice but wonder how many of those numbers are real vs “search bots”, and the
I thought thecadgeek had turned (90º) green and moved to Wellington but it was just Twitter Avatar confusion with Stuff Tech in New Zealand. Donnie is getting married and launching his first book in the near future. Congratulations and Best Wishes for both momentous events!

I’ve visited TypePad, why don’t you! I called in, travelling by the bicycle* as seen reflected in the front door photo (right), when visiting in San Francisco in 2009 for an Autodesk Blogger event. I went a few days early for some holiday and it was great to
When I see something which triggers the “could be a blog post” thought I grab a screenshot with Snagit. and save the image. Sometimes I use the Send > TypePad output to post direct from the Snagit Editor. Usually I tick “Post as Draft” as it could be days, weeks,
The subject is nothing to do with CAD, more to do with mitigation. Piercing blue eyes belong to Casper the Birman and the snap below doesn’t convey the look of disgust when he saw the dog, Alfie, featured in the last header. If a cat could say “What the…
TypePad have generously waived the hosting fee for my account again this year. This has enabled some Kiva loan contributions which I added last night. Kiva leverages micro fund organisations so these are loans, not donations, but I re-loan repayments as they accumulate. Thanks to TypePad for the support
A recent TypePad update included Category Feeds. It’s an item from my wish list that has been a long time coming. They were possible before but required template editing and avoiding that sort of hassle is the reason I use TypePad! Now it’s just a tick to enable
I usually* don’t moderate comments but do review them and delete obvious spam. TypePad filters most of that (see below) before it reaches the blog but occasionally spam (seemingly human generated) gets through. They can seem valid, often reference the post they appear on, making it a marginal call.
A long time ago, well August 2005 which I guess isn’t long on the cosmological timescale but is a while in human terms, I posted, with permission, a great, well I thought it was but she probably didn’t, review of “An evening with Jeanette Wilson”. Carl, who wrote
Ok, that post did go live on April 1 and I admit thought there might have been more reaction to RobiNZ Revit Blog. It wasn’t really an April Fool as it wasn’t all false. I do now own AutoCAD Revit Architecture Suite but firmly subscribe to picking the
A new TypePad feature has prompted me to update the search panels which live in the right hand column of my blog. * “Search” uses a new TypePad engine and will return results from the blog. It can be sorted for “Best Match” or “Most Recent” and generates a RSS Feed
Occasionally I change the banner on this blog. Usually it’s just an excuse to show some photography but this month is different. The banner is completely new, the photo carefully chosen to mark the end of a long an winding road. It’s been, but doesn’t seem, a
