Since I've had my new stats package installed I've been able to keep track of my more regular visitors. Using a combination of their IP numbers and hostnames as well as the search terms they arrive via, the pages they look at, for how long and at what time of day, I've been able to hazard a guess as to some of their identities (and no, I don't get out much).
For example, the guy who keeps entering 'Dom Bescoby really can't take a joke' (whatever that's supposed to mean) into a Google search engine is no mystery whatsoever - even if the address he's logging on from is a little puzzling as I always thought he was too much of a fucking moron to even
have a job, let alone one at a
reputable installer of heating systems.
Some are a little more ambiguous. If you log on to
this site it will tell you your IP number. If it's one of the following - especially one of the first two - then I have have my suspicions about you!
194.176.105.37
194.176.105.38
86.6.53.194
213.38.169.149
Update: It seems I was wrong about the identity of the guy searching on the term 'Dom Bescoby really can't take a joke'. However, it would appear to suggest I was right in my assumption that the original suspect is indeed too much of a fucking moron to have a job!
