Hello world!
After my recent Understanding memory usage on Linux post was linked from some large web sites (Slashdot, Digg, and del.icio.us so far), I thought it would be fun to create a map that showed where the resulting ~60,000 hits came from.The map displays a dot for each hit that I received over the last few days. This isn't an exact science, as I can only determine where everyone's ISPs are located, but I figure it is a pretty close estimate. I would love to create an hour-by-hour slideshow, but that will have to wait for another day.
So here's a "hello world" to all of my fellow geeks in Russia, Nigeria, Egypt, Bermuda, the middle of the Caspian Sea, Sydney, Sri Lanka, Argentina, Iceland, Italia, and everywhere else.
