Congratulations, you are the 10000th visitor to this website I'm sorry I couldn't get that message to appear in a little pop-up window, like you're probably used to on other websites. My programming skills aren't quite up to annoying the hell out of everyone who tries loading my page like that. What could be more annoying than waiting an extra minute for a page to load only to realise you've been waiting for a tiny window to open up advertising something you never wanted in the first place? Actually, a number of things are more annoying than that, especially that new breed of pop-up ad that appears over the top of a page itself. There you are trying to look at some search engine results but instead there's some slow-moving spaceship, car or pig flying across the screen instead, blocking the content you're trying to read while you look for the awkwardly placed "close" button. Whoever thought this sort of online spam was a good way to sell a service to the public? An interstitial advert like that surely just makes you think "Blimey, this brand must be run by a bunch of tossers, I'll never buy anything from them ever again." But I digress...
Congratulations, you are the 10000th visitor to this website Actually if you're reading this you're not, because the ten thousandth visitor checked in about half an hour ago. They arrived here via a link on Naked Blog, probably from somewhere in Ohio, somewhere around midnight Eastern Standard Time. Hello to you if you were that visitor and you ever click back here again for another visit. Sorry there isn't actually a cash prize for you, or a free CD or even a matching mug and mousemat, but hopefully some red scrolling text is enough of a reward in itself.
Congratulations, you are the 10000th visitor to this website. And, you're probably not exactly the ten thousandth visitor, because diamond geezer had been around for a month before I added the stats tracker to the page. However, given that I was getting a mammoth three visitors a day at the time, ten thousand probably isn't too far out. Things have changed rather over the last six months. It's not even three weeks since I was celebrating my 8000th visitor. Visitors are coming thick and fast at the moment (I'll leave it up to you, dear reader, to decide whether you'd prefer to be categorised as thick or fast). As I keep saying, it's gratifying to know that some of you keep coming back to see what I've written on here. Alas, today I've merely written about the fact that some of you keep coming back to see what I've written on here, which may not be what you were hoping for. But thanks for getting me into five figures.
Congratulations, you are the 10000th visitor to this website.
