Belgian bank & SSL slashdot effect

28 Feb 2015 · misc

Quick wrap up of the slashdot effect 10 days ago.

A peak of 12k views on Monday 16/02, with a small buildup on Sunday (15/02).

The top pages were Part 3, Part 1, Part 4 and Part 2 respectively.

De Redactie is the highest referrer, surpassing De Morgen (first to publish in printed media, front page) & Datanews (first to publish online):

Second highest, after Twitter (t.co), was Tweakers (Dutch website, oddly enough).

OS wise, about 60% is Windows, 12% of OSX and 10% of iOS; 79% desktop, 15% phones, 6% tablets. Way more mobile than I expected to be honest.

Mostly made out of plastic (hardened polyester) and metal, unlike the wooden version.

My very first Apple product

23 Feb 2015 · apple

Going through old stuff in the cellar, I found the packaging of my very first Apple product, an iPod (2nd gen) 40Gb. Bought it at the Fnac (Brussels) during Christmas period a good 11ish years ago.
