[Fake 2000th Visitor]
Just as we were gonna hit 2000th visitor, my site meter crashed.

After 2 weeks of trying to figure out what the hell happened when we were so close to see if there would be another "Fuck You Dave" sign to be posted to reward the lucky 2000th, I finally got this message when clicking on where the counter used to be:

SM5 Server Status Update

Saturday May 15th

This is an update to the problem with the SM5 server. Unfortunately,
the drive recovery sevice was not able to recover any files from the
damaged hard drive. That means all the previously collected statistics
are unavailable.

You will be able to keep the same codename so that the pages of your site
won't need to be updated but you will need to recreate your account.

Click here to recreate your account.


Of course, when clicking "here" to recreate the account, nothing happens.
Aaahh.. the joys of free online web stuff

Yesterday I finally found a new web counter that looks competent enough.
It's not as easy as it seems to find one that gives you all the visitors' stats, including (and most importantly) the referral URL.
Imagine.. No more ways of knowing about all the monsexgratuit and envie pressante de pisser!
NO! I couldn't deprive you (and myself) of that entertainment

So now everything is pretty much back to normal, except for
1- the 2 weeks where I don't know how many visitors I got
and
2- the real 2000th visitor will remain forever unknown

But for the fun of it, yesterday I started the new counter at 1995 visitors (which is where we were at when the old counter crashed), to give someone the chance to be the second 2000th visitor

Now if I can just figure out how to read the stats from the new counter, I'll eventually be able to tell you who is the not real 2000th visitor....

[Paranoid Theory #186]
I finally figured out what is going on
And laugh if you will, but even if I am ALWAYS paranoid, this time I am really scared I am right about this

I think Jouni is Titanium Man's half-brother
*musique style Unsolved Mystery meets Twilight Zone*

For real

Here is what we knew so far:
- They look similar in shape, height, and face
- From what I know of TM and what I can guess from Jouni, the resemblance even extends to the size of what's in their pants (surtout quand Jouni porte ses culottes "Super Paquet" comme aujourd'hui.. je manque de m'évanou chaque fois qu'il se plante en avant de moi!)
- They talk the same, use the same vocabulary, same attitude, same fascination with titanium stuff, same habit of telling the price of everything they talk about
- Both love sushi (and both try to pretend they know what they are doing when ordering a Dragon Roll but find out that it's covered in avocado slices when they receive it and both hate avocados so they peel it off the roll) and Thai food
- Both have a friend called Collin
- Both IT Directors, (although it was never really confirmed with TM and Jouni has an office with windows, TM was in a basement with cement floors and looked more like he was working in a mailroom than an office)
(J'ecris ça pis je ris toute seule!)

So this morning, le beau Jouni came to say hi and we started talking
- His father died 10 years ago (which brings us to 1994, the year TM father died)
- His grand-parents (on his father's side) are in Ottawa (which is where TM was born)
- He is 4 years younger than TM, (TM father left when TM was 4)
- TM had mentioned his father had remarried and had kids with his new wife

Now people... stop for 2 minutes and think about the impacts of what I am saying..
Jouni could be TM's half-brother.. seriously
If I learn that Jouni's father was a judge, I swear I will faint

And maybe they know each other, maybe they don't
but it's still VERY scary
