Pammy let me down.

There are a couple of blog entries coming your way today, but first up an unpleasent matter must be dealt with. Sadly, it seems urban myth is well, myth, when it comes to Pammy's ability to boost your blog readership figures. Her appearance on November 28th had a marginal effect on viewer figures for "Echos from a distant mountain," equivalent to around a 20 per cent increase in visitors.

However, considering visitor figures to this blog fluctuate wildly anyway, going from 3 or 4 people to 30 on any given day seemingly without rhyme or reason, it's entirely possible that the 20 per cent extra visitors simply wandered past by accident. So thanks for nothing Pamela Anderson.

Meanwhile, I endured a painful lathering from notable tech journo Ian Campbell in Schipol Airport last night, who claims not to get blogs at all, and wondered why I'd care about who visited my blog in the first place. Luddite Philistine! Still, he has a point of sorts.
