They seek us here...

We rarely get time to shuffle idly through the depths of our log files, but when we do the results are always fascinating. As well as data like visitor numbers, they also tell us what people were searching for when they found us from places like Google, Yahoo and Altavista.

Most people are simply searching for "LawsWatch", a few for "Michael Laws", and some for other people mentioned here from time to time. Not a single Councillor though - but people like Dave Foster, Carla Donson and Jodie Dalgleish, there's at least one person out there on the Internet looking for you.

What we found especially interesting were the other search terms people used to find us:

  • "Michael Laws" & "disrepute" (our personal favourite, naturally)
  • "Genetic deficients" (a tourist on their way to Raetihi, perhaps?)
  • "Antoinette" (good luck finding her - no one else ever could)
  • "Splish splash I was taking a bath all around the Saturday night" (a sorely disappointed Bobby Darin fan, no doubt)
and, most puzzlingly of all:

  • "Load of dribble"
We know how they found us on that last one (thanks to this post) but why on earth would anyone search for dribble, let alone loads of it?!

Does anyone know how the fund rising is going for the Splash Centre? Today's Chron had an interesting article on the pool.

I hear the splash centre people are a bit demoralised at all the hoops they seem to have to jump through to get some real progress. Wasn't there some sort of December deadline to being construction?

Whatever you think of the referendum hype that it became caught up in, this is something that would be good for Wanganui.

How much does it depend on the council being able to sell enough property to put its share on the table?

The pool will be great for the city, didn't the last council have the plans for the extension drawn up? The issues with the Splash, is more about how all the information is properly given to the citizens, NO SPIN please! We all need to buy into it, to make it work, as well as all the other projects the city needs.

Right, yeah, so you voted for a mayor who promised to fuck the Gallery, but now we've all got to have a sense of community?
