Best Month ever

Last month [ Jan 2008] the web site received its highest number of Unique Visits ever, 153,351 visits. The previous high was in March of the last year at 149,184.

The graph starts in Jan 2004 and runs to Jan 2008, but there have been many other charts up-loaded that show years down to 1998. The current graphic only shows the last few years to better illustrate the fluctuations. Just for the record, if you followed the news, two under water cables were cut in the Mediterranean shutting down internet access to a dozen countries yesterday ~ maybe I lost a few hits...

January seems to always be an 'up' month, yes it has 31 days, but it also has new-years in there?

Visits appear to have increased 3 or 400 per day, into the high 8000's, with page views centered around 14,500 a-day.
Additional stats for the month:
IE = 66%, Firefox = 28%

Windows = 94%
