So, someone from Buffy's hometown is reading me. A lot... does anyone have any idea why 382 people, give or take Google Analytics' margin for error, in Sunnydale, California, would punch in "www.dukestreet.org" to their browsers? This happened on March 20th, and caused a visible spike in my traffic.

EDIT: Further analysis shows that it wasn't the site root they were hitting, it was a wide variety of pages on the site. Even further analysis says they were all in the "jarvis universal purchase company", which is so unlikely as to be pretty near impossible. I'm guessing it was some piece of software reading the whole site, then - even though it claims to have been Internet Explorer, it was either masquerading, or not accepting cookies and/or sending referer data correctly.

Weird, anyway.

I once shipped a customer's package to "Sunnydale" instead of "Sunnyvale" - but it arrived safely!

I'm pretty sure Sunnydale doesn't actually exist (at least not in this parallel universe). Sunnyvale does, is nestled right next to Mountain View, and I think together with Palo Alto they are the center of 'web 1.0/2.0' silicon valley.

I lived there for three years. Subsequently, I briefly had a girlfriend here who could not help but giggle every time I mentioned Sunnyvale, because it sounded so much like Sunnydale...
