Most of the traffic comes from Google, while direct traffic (directly typing the address to TECHGEEK.com.au) comes in second. More than 10,000 visitors use Google than directly going to our address. I should also note that this only tracks unique visitors for the day – meaning that if you made two visits in the same day, it will still be recorded as one. Oh, and some people still prefer to use the old address – despite we switched to .com.au in June, though I think that should have stopped by now.

But on my last day, I found out a number of good news – got a really good mark in Science and Religion, found out that three of the people in a group I call the “Idiots who managed to get into the school because of the feeder school policy” will leave the school and turns out I got a Distinction in that Westpac Maths Competition I did way back in August, which is kinda surprising, because I just got over half the questions right. LOL!

I also got a certificate for doing Building Bridges and for participating in a group called MAYO, where I am the Web Administrator; but I feel my job is starting to expand outwards since I’m also getting everyone who’s doing software projects for MAYO to sign a document releasing it under GPL and I’m organising a Sprint – which is not the athletic one, but the open source community one. I’m also building a new website environment for them, with the help of several people (Does two count as several people?) using WordPress MU, bbPress, MediaWiki and a few other plugins along the way. I tried to make it tightly integrated with each other so one person can login from WordPress MU and jump straight onto bbPress and MediaWiki, but time will tell if this would work. The best thing, however, is I get to rip apart the BuddyPress theme and attempt to find which bit corresponds to the template I designed.

Woot! But what is on the TECHGEEK Agenda for the rest of the year:

• THE YEAR IN REVIEW: We are slightly changing it a bit, and we are going to focus on a few topics instead of creating a long document of the months. That way, it makes it easier for us to post it in the relevant topics. Expect this to be released on NYE 2009.
• CHRISTMAS GUIDE: Christmas is around the corner and I’m trying to coax Stewart, Luke, Shane, James and Adrian to write up a wish list. This most likely will never happen, but maybe in the next year. If this doesn’t work, wait until Boxing Day, where we will bring together a series of product guides on the best Tech stuff to get during the Clearance Sales. WOOT!
• REVIEWS: We’re getting back into reviews, for now, and we have Luke covering the Apple Mighty Mouse, James looking at Microsoft Office 2010 Beta (hopefully) and I’m looking at the Sony Walkman E Series MP3 player – and I’m also trying to get phones and the Sony Walkman S Series.
• TIPS & TRICKS: We have been lacking in this type of content for a few months now, and we will get started again in December – hopefully.

I’m also looking in creating a special feature for TECHGEEK.com.au next year called Technology and Education, focusing how new technologies and the Internet have helped education. Anyone want to help, please comment.

Well, I better be off.

See Ya!
