    In case you thought I was exaggerating with the swastika, check this out! Other than that, I should probably mention that I’m not a football fan [sorry guys!] but well, I always end up watching few games for the World Cup and I usually support Spain! 😀 Here’s a song for you, someone got me listening to The Beatles: Strawberry Fields Forever. Have a great week 🙂

  • Discovering Woopra!

    Prologue: To those who don't know, Woopra is a real-time web tracking and analysis application that I installed after I self-hosted the blog, to be able to follow the stats, and see who visits the site, etc.

    Before Woopra. Man telling me "Hey I saw your post about the plumber... So true!"

    I reply "oooh! That's so lovely to hear! Thank you!"

    After woopra. Man telling me "Hey! I saw your post about the plumber. So true!"

    I reply: " I know. You saw it yesterday at 12:46PM. You spent 2 min 47 sec on the page through safari on a mac with 1440 x 900 screen resolution. Man appears dumbstruck.

    AND! You live in Beirut, Lebanon. Man, afraid, excuses himself.

    Woopra also improved geography skills, from the maps of the stats pages.

    Woopra also allows you to show off your knowledge instead of your clothes. "Did you know that Sweden and Ukraine flags had the same colours?"

    There's just one small issue: they forgot to mention "use with moderation". Shall I work now or shall I check woopra?

    Checking woopra: wow! there are 20 visitors on the blog at the same time!

    Woopra! Maya, still at work, but looking very old. Spider webs are visible on computers with a spider hanging down the desk.

    And here’s my story with Woopra! I’ve become seriously addicted to following you guys go in and out of the blog, checking the pages, knowing all about your home countries and screen resolutions 😛 Sometimes, I even have the option to chat with you – so don’t be surprised if you get a pop out saying “Maya wants to chat with you”. It’ll be me spending my day or night on Woopra 🙂 It’s beautiful & touching knowing that at a given time, simultaneously, someone in Togo, someone in Estonia and someone in Norway is reading one of the comics of this blog. Makes me so happy! 🙂

    I really advise all of you who have websites to install it (but first get a paranoïa personality-type check, just in case). Also about Woopra, it is proudly founded by Lebanese Elie Khoury & partner.

    I’ll now leave you with Natalie Imbruglia’s song ‘One more addiction’ which fits the situation perfectly. From her album “Left of the middle” that I used to  listen to 24/7 when I was in 6ème (6th grade) in Jeddah. How time flies…
    See you soon! 😉
