Something that would go a long way towards helping me make my decision would be an idea of how many people use this site; a census of sorts. So I&#8217;m asking everyone who hasn&#8217;t already left a comment to please leave me one just so I know how many unique users there are. If you&#8217;re shy, you can email me at holypotato at gmail instead. Or, you can leave a comment with 3 or more URLs in it, which will then cause it to be caught by my spam filter. I can from there delete it without anyone seeing it.<\/p>\n<p>To encourage you, I&#8217;m going to offer a cookie to anyone who leaves a comment to this post. I&#8217;m assuming, of course, that right now I&#8217;ve only got a small handful of readers located in a small geographic area (that is, friends of mine, or friends of friends). If it&#8217;s not feasible to get a cookie to you (or if you wish to remain pseudoanonymous, which I totally understand), then perhaps we can work out some other form of cheap-as-free incentive.<\/p>\n<p>Edit: yes, a real sugary cookie, not some truly worthless tracking file in your web browser.<\/p>\n<p>On to other matters: Kraft Dinner.<\/p>\n<p>It really deserves it&#8217;s very own post, but I&#8217;ve been wondering lately why I like it so much, and couldn&#8217;t wait to author a proper post. It&#8217;s so artificial, and it&#8217;s not even all that cheap any more (the logs now run at just about a dollar, and the fancy white cheese, spirals, and three cheese flavours all top $1.50). But I love it any way. Not a month goes by where I don&#8217;t have a pot, and usually more like once a week. My cat likes it, too, which only strikes me as a little bit strange. What&#8217;s really weird though, is that I <i>hate<\/i> macaroni and cheese, by which I&#8217;m referring to that casserole stuff with real macaroni noodles and honest-to-goodness cheddar cheese baked on top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a recurring theme here, but it bears repeating: I have no idea what to do about hosting.
