Note from the Rainforest

[hummingwolf]

Weather forecast for today: Hazy, hot, and very humid. Air Quality Index: Moderate, so while the "air" is good for swimming, at least the pollution's not so bad you could cut it with a knife. Pollen count: Moderate, with predominant pollens being grass and plantain(!).

So, being in a room without air conditioning and having a low tolerance for 3-H weather, I probably won't get any more cleaning done than I did yesterday. I did accomplish a few things yesterday, though:

• Did one load of laundry.
  
• Bought four rolls of toilet paper.
  
• Created a syndicated account for sashacastel since unwilly will now be posting his political articles on Sasha's blog.

I'm not a vegetable yet! (Well, not quite yet.) Go me!

Now, many of you folks have been posting lists of your top 10 (or top 100, or top 197) commenters. I wasn't going to do this myself, but unwilly wants to know, so I got the data from a web version here. Though I won't post the whole thing, here's the top few:

1. hummingwolf: 1744 comments, 41.97% of total
   
2. daisydumont: 395 comments, 9.51% of total
   
3. unwilly: 227 comments, 5.46% of total
   
4. skygypsy: 203 comments, 4.89% of total
   
5. hai_kah_uhk: 169 comments, 4.07% of total
   
6. sophy: 89 comments, 2.14% of total
   
7. lisalemonjello: 81 comments, 1.95% of total
   
8. madralaoi: 80 comments, 1.93% of total
   
9. ziege: 77 comments, 1.85% of total
   
10. eipooz: 76 comments, 1.83% of total

The top 5 is exactly as I expected it to be and there are no big surprises in the rest of the list. What I do find interesting is the number of names I don't recognize which showed up in the rankings down below 50 or so. Will have to look at some journals today and remind myself who those people are! Also noticed that comments from a user whose comments were all deleted (by that user) were still counted. Interesting.

i talk a lot, don't i? ack! i've been trying to get this stats counter to work, but it either crashes the browser or goes into limbo every time. too much data? i'd have enjoyed seeing the results. oh well.

hope you get through this muggy day ok. lovely weather, not. :/

this counter

I have the same problem with this
counter which at least lists more than
100 senders but perhaps it has upper
limits, I even wrote to the designer
but no answer.

i thought maybe it was just over-busy last night, but it still doesn't work this morning. i'm giving up on it for the moment. if the designer ever gets back to you, could you mention it in a post? thanks!

hope you have a good day. :)

Nothing wrong with being friendly. :-) I like your comments! Mostly I posted this to prove to unwilly that he's not the most talkative person on my list.

Think cool thoughts. Ice--snow--Antarctica... Oh, I should dig out my cassette deck and find out if it's still possible to listen to Bel Canto's first album, White-Out Conditions.

Or maybe I should just go to the library for some air-conditioning.

cool thoughts will definitely be a good thing. ted's last day of school today, which means summer's here, which means i'll be looking forward to fall. let's hope this isn't one of the local scorchers!

I am too the most talkative.

Yak, yak, yak, moose.

Thanks again for the feed

You should go the the library or a book store and wait out the heat.

No problem! Literally, all I had to do was type in the URL for the blog's feed and choose a name for the LJ account.

Feeling too oogie to go anywhere now. Maybe a nice baked potato will make me feel better... wait, in this weather, I might be better off going with potato chips. Must think on this.

Heck just put the potato on the side walk, or inside your clothes and enjoy 40 minutes later.
