One of the problems I have is sleeplessness. Sometimes I don't feel sleepy until 2 or 3 AM, and on the days that I do get to sleep at a reasonable hour, I wake up early. Waking up early, one notices things in the neighborhood, like when the garbage truck comes, and that guy (I'm assuming it's a guy) a few doors down who starts his car promptly at 5 AM and lets it warm up for exactly five minutes, no matter what the weather. Oh yeah, and the boids choipin' and boipin' and eatin' doity oithwoims.
The other thing one does when sleepless is to find interesting tools on the internet. I found a travel map generator to show the countries of all who have visited this blog. It's not a live, updateable tool, so if you leave the page, your data are lost. You also can't save the data. I haven't figured out how to embed the image yet, but you can find a link on the right sidebar (or just click here).
I also found another hit counter with a map, that started on May 27, so it won't include past hits.
So far, the countries in Continent Bingo are:
Africa: Morocco
Asia: India, Indonesia, United Arab Emirates
Europe: Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom,
North America: Canada, United States
South America: Chile
Oceania: Australia
Antarctica: no hits yet (how about you, Dan?). I suspect that internet access from the research stations is routed through the home countries' servers.

No Antarctica yet. Every other continent, though. I sent emails to some research stations asking anyone in Antarctica to post a comment, just in case, as you suspect, their access is routed through another continent's server! But nothing. I have to get back on that project again.
