I was checking my web counter stats, and noticed a huge spike in visitors. (11 page hits in one day is a new record for me.) Apparently, I've won a Geek Of The Week award on a site that gives out such things.
It's really quite a nice change of pace from all the people finding my website on Google with irrelevant search terms. On top of that, I've become the number-one search result for Nathan McCoy on Google. (Or rather, my Wikipedia user page has, but the second result is for my homepage, too.) It seems that everyone suddenly starts noticing me as soon as I stop trying. Now that I have everyone's attention, I really need to get to work on the rest of my site. I had let my obscurity be an excuse to be lazy, and now I don't have that. Thank you, my anonymous fans.
