I haven’t been on MSN for a few days because it was inexplicably not connecting… I had assumed this was a temporary setback at Microsoft’s end, but have since decided that it was probably because they released version 6.2 and I was still on 6.1. Oh well, being on dialup as I am, it takes like an hour to download a 5 MB installation, so I’ll see you all online in an hour — maybe.

The larger issue, I expect, is simply that Microsoft has grandfathered the old MSN Messenger program in favour of Windows Messenger. I don’t really blame them… but it’s still frustrating to lose support like that.

It seems that Greece won the Euro 2004 soccer thingy-thing, so Philip will be pleased about that. I heard the horns on Danforth earlier — I expect they’ll be celebrating that for a couple hours.

So I was checking my web stats to see how many folks drop by here, and it’s only a handful a day, which is what I expected — a good deal of traffic is generated by the googlespider and other robots. Anyhow, more interesting than the numbers is the referring sites. A couple hits have come in through QBasicnews, which doesn’t surprise me, although I rarely post there any more… and another bunch from the Rage3d Forums. But the surprise was to see 27 hits from the domain www.clublatte.com. If you clicked on that link, you’ll see right away that it’s an online singles site… hmm… How is it that a link to this page somehow ended up on there? Ah well, life is full of mysteries.
