Interesting... my journal is in the lj top 40. (according to Google's page-ranking methods) found here. I don't know if that's good, bad, or neither.

a few neat things on lj_nifty lately.

Can't seem to get to sleep... things weighing on my mind, both good and bad. ah well, I guess that's what my books are for.. Escape, and a natural tranquilizer.

Positives, The There-crew, esp. DN. The Golden Egg trophy by the way is very pretty, and will look stunning on the mantle at the lighthouse.

wow... interesting way to generate hits. 374 hits in 3 minutes.

had my entry hit with a spambot, so I've edited it and am posting the information here for future reference. I'm also reporting it to abuse at the ISP level. 5.5 megs of spam in 3 minutes warrants that.

As a result, I'll screenning any anonymous comments now, at least for a bit.

All hits came from isp 24.95.249.208, between 11:30 and 11:33 EST.

From the site -

This site is intended to allow science fiction fans to get an impression of the true scale of their favorite science fiction spacecraft by being able to compare ships across genres, as well as being able to compare them with contemporary objects with which they are probably familiar. The scales are based on meter-to-pixel ratios so that they are accurate on any platform. The background grid is divided into groups of ten, and larger groups of one hundred pixels, to allow for easy measurement. This site is only intended to compare the actual physical dimensions of the starships herein, and makes no claims as to any other aspect of these ships (firepower, speed, etc). Each of these genres is worthy of respect in its own right and no preference is given to any one genre. If you are interested in a certain vessel/being, I encourage you to view to film or read the books in which they originally appeared in all their glory. In time, I will provide the source information with each vessel to make it easier to find these sources.

The charts are intended to be interactive such that Internet explorer users may click and drag the starships within the charts to arrange them in whichever way they please. I am working on incorporating the same feature for Netscape and other web browser users. The site is very Graphics intensive by nature and therefore is targeted towards a higher bandwidth connection (DSL, etc). It will likely bog down dialup connections
