My mother is too senile to read any more, and I don't really want relatives reading my blog, anyway. Haha I enjoyed your post.

Ended up <a href="http://compsci.ca/blog/computer-unplugged-lived-a-day-offline/" title="Computer unplugged: lived a day offline" rel="nofollow">reading a book and playing video games</a>. I didn't really expect to see any noticeable drops on any metrics, but it's still good to put things into a new perspective every once in a while, and reflect on the numbers behind such. Keeps things a bit more real in this digital world. You are absolutely right, I was aiming just for the personal self-experiment with a learning experience.

I'm not sure how my mother found my site, really. :] And yes, I think the "shutdown day" maybe had some, ahem, delusions of grandeur. I mean, the web isn't the geek haven it used to be. Bulletin boards and newsgroupds have been replaced by e-commerce, online-banking, gmail, myspace, flickr, etc etc...did these people really expect to make a dent in traffic somewhere? I doubt it. Rather than trying to leave a mark, I think they were giving a self-experiment/learning experience a good go; but with some friends along for the ride. Made for decent blog fodder and maybe some electronic high fives. So, fellow blogger, what'd you do on Shutdown Day? Haha. I’m not sure how my mother found my site, really. :]
