Statistical Spike

I have heard it said that statistics is when you torture numbers until they confess to anything. Bearing this in mind, I keep statistics on this blog and was really surprised to see a major “spike”. Overall my number of visitors per day (based entirely on cookies) is fairly constant. Today was not different. Only someone out there must have really liked what they saw as they hang around and visited most of the pages on this blog. I can tell because my number of hits today shot up to a record 385 when it is usually around 95. Weird.

The graphic above was created with Mind Boggling Fractals and edited in Paintshop Pro. I played around with the brightness and contrast first. Then I used the “Gamma Correction” feature to change and got the graphic you see above.

    Hi there! I’ve been gone for a while but I’m back! I have a lot of catching up to do on your blog and I’m looking forward to it. I see you’ve been using new software to create your fractals. I may have to give this “Mind Boggling Fractals” software a try myself. It’s really clear and sharp looking!

    I’m not sure, but I went and looked at a lot of your Flickr pix, through your blog. Maybe a reason, for the spike?

    Woops, I played around with this style for a little, but couldn’t do the numbers right, so trashed it. Really like this one.
