I ran a script to get a rough idea of how many people are watching the
gridwatch site..the log goes back to Sunday.

vps:/var/log/apache2# cat gridwatch.access.log | awk '{print $1}'\; |
sort -u | wc -l
3166

Over three thousand different IP addresses have accessed the site this
week.

No wonder the traffic stats are on the up.

Now if only they paid me 5p a hit...

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc-ra-cy) €“ a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.
