One of the cool features of Google Analytics is that I get to look at what countries contribute visits and hits to this blog, and I have to say that I have been very pleased with the UK. Their June visits worked out to 1,635, just behind Canada. Anyhow, we have a lot of friends …
The Fruitfulness of Plodding
A question I frequently get, and which I am generally reluctant to answer, is a question about time management. How do I get everything done? I don’t like to answer this for three reasons.
