August Top Referrers

New on the right side bar is the roll of Modulator’s top referrers. Currently based on blogs that provided 10 or more referrals in the month of August (someday I hope to base it on a minimum of 150 referrals like Mr. Joyner). Thank you one and all!
Also, I’d like to acknowledge significant referrals from some of the blogosphere’s ‘service’ sites: Technorati, weblogs.com, blogrolling.com, MovableType, Blogdex, blogoshpere.us, NZ Bear’s Ecosystem and Daypop. If there are others I’ll pick you up next month.
All of the blog rolls except the Base Roll are ordered by most recently updated so be sure to ping weblogs.com or blogrolling.com to push to the top of the rolls. These are certainly the sites I tend to look at first and visitors will see you at the top of the roll as well.

Lessons Learned

I will remember to take my laptop power cord with me. I will remember to take my laptop power cord with me. I will remember to take my laptop power cord with me.
Repeat 1000 times.
This would be less of a problem if I replaced the current batteries (about a 10 minute life). But even then a couple hours isn’t much when you are thinking 4-5 hours of online work.
Of course, a benefit of having no meaningful network access last night (our other machine is in use most of the evening by others) was that I got a whole bunch of other stuff done.
