October Top Referrers
On the right side bar is the updated roll of Modulator’s 20 top referrers up from 19 last month. Number 20 produced 12 referrals in the month of October.. Statistics are culled from AWStats running on Modulator’s server at Hosting Matters.
6 blogs dropped off and 7 new ones have been added.
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, Sitemeter, NZ Bear’s Ecosystem and Daypop.
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.

This Weekend
It has been a low volume weekend at Modulator.
We go to our local univesity’s football games infrequently but did enjoy the game yesterday along with 70000+ of our neighbors.
Today we are spending time with my Dad and his wife who are visiting from out of town.
Perhaps an entry or two tonight. I do want to update the top referrers for October…just haven’t had time to do the counts so watch for that post.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
Navel Gazing
Modulator’s 10,000th visitor arrived today (per Sitemeter). Regular readers will remember that number 5000 arrived on September 8. yea, right!
The first 5000 took 126 days and the 2nd 5000 only 53 days. I like that doubling rate but would be pleasantly shocked to see the next doubling (to 20,000 visitors) occur in 53 days.
Oh, and visitor 10,000 was Eric Siegmund, proprietor of The Fire Ant Gazette, who linked from his Sitemeter referral log. Thanks for stopping by.
And, thank you to everyone else who has taken the time to visit.
Happy Halloween!
Taking Tests
Kevin White at Catallarchy is learning the basics of test taking:
Today we had an exam. This was very easy, once I accepted that the professor thinks a “certain way” and expects the highly subjective questions to be answered from that perspective.
This one caught my eye:True or False: Business leaders have an obligation to see that everyone, particularly those in need, benefit from their firms’ actions.
The answer, in the real world, is so obviously False that it hardly bears discussion. However, within the class, the answer is so obviously True that one scarcely has to stop to consider it.
The basic lesson here applies both inside and outside the classroom. To be successful, and sometimes to survive, you need to understand the perspective of the professor or perhaps the inquisitor. Of course, that does not mean you have to agree with their perspective.
