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!

You’ve probably noticed things have been quiet here since yesterday and it will continue as such probably until tomorrow as a number of real world activities take precedence.

On the right side bar is the updated roll of Modulator’s top referrers which is based on blogs that provided 12 or more referrals in the month of September (up from 10 or more referrals last month). Statistics are culled from AWStats running on Modulator’s server at Hosting Matters.
There are 19 of you this month which is up from 15 last month. 4 blogs dropped off and 8 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, 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.

Modulator had its 5000th Sitemeter visitor today. I probably feel a lot more excited about this then this guy does as he tallies something on the order of his 6 millionth visitor in the same time period.*
I would feel even more excited if the visitor was really interested in reading my stuff. But no, Modulator was the 40th listing found for this Yahoo search.
Anyway, thanks to everyone and please come visit again.
*I’m also curious as to why such a low percentage of his visits show a known referral. Looking just a minute ago there were 11 known referrals for 100 visits. Sitemeter listed the rest as unknown. Any thoughts on this?

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!
