Sections

Stats: I will be writing a post on statistics soon, but for the moment I though I’d share some of my visitor statistics with you, my visitors! We are halfway through January and I’ve already had over 800 unique visits and over 2,500 hits for the month. What I find more interesting (as a computer geek) are the browsers you are using and operating systems.

Browsers in order of popularity:

Firefox (Mozilla 5) was the most used browser with 224 users, followed by: Internet Explorer 6.0 (73 users), Internet Explorer 7.0 (55 users), Safari (8 users), and finally Internet Explorer 5.5 & 5.0 (8 users).

Operating systems in order of popularity:

Windows XP was the most used operating system with 260 users followed by: Windows Vista (15 users), MacOS (12 users) and Windows Server 2003 (3 users).

Windows XP 260 users
Windows Vista 15 users
MacOS 12 users
Windows Server 2003 3 users

I don’t know how representative of other blogs this is but I was a little suprised at how few people are using Vista. Unlike the internet average, more people are using Firefox here.

News: I’m planning to add some more sections to Sections soon, and possibly jazz up the appearance. I intend to write a couple of reviews on books and compile a recommended entomology book list.

I did intend to write a little about gaming on here, but I’ve decided that I will use this blog more for science-related things and put gaming on a separate page on my main site which is in need of more content!

Links: I’ve added quite a few more links recently including:
BioImages
Invertebrate Link
My Bit of the Planet
The Ranger’s Blog

Some of these were recommended to my by Stuart Hine – thanks Stuart!

Finally, a light entomophagy reading snack: have you ever thought about eating silkworms (Bombyx mori)? A Chinese research team has investigated silkworms as a potential food for astronauts.
