If anything deserves the "Random Stuff" category, it's this Henry Earl real-time stats page that I did this weekend.
Don't bother asking why. Some things just need doing.
Been popular, too: 4,121 visitors since Saturday morning. About what this site would get all month. As you can see, the traffic's near constant and in a predictable pattern for North America. The guys who do the first Henry Earl Site (and do it with considerable elan, I would add) linked back here, and that's probably what's doing it.
Heh heh... I just looked at the stats page to make sure that the link worked and I noticed that according to the automatically updated stats, Henry got busted today. Rock on, Henry.
The real-time status is great; it somehow takes the saga of Henry from urban legend to a weird form of reality entertainment. Should one get entertainment from the train wreck of someone else's life? Well, hell, he doesn't seem any more or less unhappy than the rest of us, all told... Henry Earl, he just keeps on keepin' on. Taking 'er easy, as it were. The Earl abides.
I wonder if he has any idea how famous he's become in certain circles? I wonder if he's ever even touched a computer?
Strange world we live in... =)
Posted by Tess at February 3, 2004 9:25 AMI heard from a dude who live in Lexington and has talked to Henry. He said that people try to explain to him how popular he's become, and he "doesn't understand when he's sober and doesn't care when he's drunk". I can only surmise that he mostly doesn't care.
Guy also said that the only time Henry sees a computer "is in central booking".
