If my website has offended
Think but this and all is mended
That you were but redirected
While this URL was disconnected
And my weak and idle flame-war
No more yielding but a 404
Gentles, do not protest
If you pardon, we will friend-request

There have been several requests for a hit counter. I wrote one only to find that my host prefers ASP to PHP. Please bear with me. I checked my stats though so for all of you who keep asking, I got over 4600 unique visitors last year who viewed over 74,000 pages (97,000 documents total pics included), downloading 1.5GB of data (which is pretty hefty when you consider that my site is all text and small images). This site was viewed by every version of Windows, was viewed by Windows computers 90X as much as Macintosh or Linux, and was viewed by Nokia cell phones more than any other brand. All of this can be found at the new stats link. Gantopian Stats
The VAST majority of my traffic comes from a Russian forum that posted a pic of my Sealand coin followed by an American forum that posted a pic of my brothel token.
Updated the Gantopian application. Application. I have gotten several suggestions on how to improve this and about a dozen people promising to fill one out however to date I have not received a single one.
Some of you have asked about the state of the interesting stuff collection. Large acquisitions were made over the past three months and are still being sorted out, scanned, researched, and documented. This has taken a back-seat to other studies and projects but I will eventually get around to an update.
