My other blog is down

… because of recent the increase of visitors. Large traffic on a website can bring both positive and negative effect. It is good because of new visitors (and potential income) and its bad if your server (host) bandwidth can’t handle it all. I have limited bandwidth per month. It means I’ve used up all of that this month, and will reset at the beginning of next month.

This is the 4th or 5th time she won in a major raffle. The count does not include smaller raffle contests she won.

Anyway, we watched X-Men Origins: Wolverine at SM City Fairview weeks ago, and got two raffle tickets for buying 2 tickets at the cinema. Like many raffle entries we get, she is always the one who writes our names on the ticket. Since we only got two, she wrote one for each of us.

And as always she has more luck than me.

She won the Smart Bro Prepaid Internet Kit, which she is planning to sell, because she already have that item.

recycle-by-number

Every time I drink a bottle of iced tea or mineral water, I used to wonder what the number at the bottom of the container means. I’ve always thought that it is the number of times the plastic was recycled, I was wrong.

The numbers indicate the types of plastic used in making the container. There are seven types of consumer plastic or resin and are identified by a number inside three chasing arrows.

#1 PETE: Polyethylene Terephthalate.
Commonly used in soft drinks, juice, and cough syrup containers and microwave trays.

#2 HDPE: High Density Polyethylene.
Commonly used in milk jugs, detergent and shampoo bottles.

#3 V: Polyvinyl Chloride.
Commonly used in film for meat packaging and some rigid plastic containers.

#4 LDPE: Low Density Polyethylene.
Commonly used in newspaper and grocery bags and butter cups lids.

#5 PP: Polypropylene.
Commonly used in yogurt containers and deli trays.

#6 PS: Polystyrene.
Commonly used in plastic cups and plates and to-go containers.

#7 OTHER: Other mixed resins.
Commonly used in mixed plastic containers or plastic products.

The numbers are used by recycling plants to determine if they can recycle the plastic or not, because there are some plants that only accept certain types of plastic.

Big boost in my Google Analytics

So my experiment yesterday did worked well. I caught a viral and top keyword, posted it in one of my blogs, then boom, instant traffic boost.

analytics-may21

From around 300 to 3,000 in one day, I wonder how many traffic will arrive in the next few days.

We don’t like heavy traffic on the streets, but on the web, it is a much welcome event.
