Finding Myself [online]
May. 5th, 2007 09:10 pmI stumbled upon an article yesterday expressing deep disappointment with the Sheridan grad class, which was interesting to read because I hear practically nothing about the school or its students beyond a certain relative obsessing over their blogs. Anyway, I'd promised to send the link to someone I was talking to last night, and in looking it up again today I discovered that a)it had been moved due to extreme traffic and b)a large number of yesterday's comments (which I hadn't read) had been tacked on the end. I started reading them out of curiosity but then did a double take 3/4 of the way down the page when I saw MY NAME. I had to stare at it for a bit to make sure it was really there. Now, this is a good thing, because I was mentioned in the context of having solid animation-friendly drawings, but ... being held up as an example ... to Sheridan students??

I would like to thank Mr (assuming he's male) Anonymous for linking to my Discworld page and not, say, really ancient backwaters of Potterdom. I don't know who he is, and though he refers to me as a 'colleague' I don't think he's a workmate of mine because the other people he links to are not colleagues in the 'work for the same company' kind of way; I don't know them and they appear to live in different cities. Of course I know very few of the vast number of people I work with, it's possible those two might have moved here, but I'm pretty sure only two or three people at work know about my website.
So, yes. Immensely flattering. Kind of scary. But it explains why my Discworld page has had a sudden jump in traffic consisting mostly of direct hits...
