aggienaut | 513 Hits In 24 Hours (Reply)

   Last post had 323 hits after nine hours, 401 after 12, and 518 at 24 hours. Pictures in the lj cut had 86 hits after 24 hours.

   This compares to about 50 hits per day before this lj was "discovered" by the ASUCD government. Last entry's hits may have been higher than normal because the case verdict was posted on it and people may have found that out and gone there specifically to see the verdict as that is the most accessible place it exists at (nothing useful is ever posted on ASUCD webpages).
   The previously posted pictures topped at 190 hits on the day the lj was discovered. The reason that number wasn't as high as this number could be that that entry was already a ways back in the history on that date.
   It has been hypothesized that the number is just people updating their friends' pages; but that "normal" number would be reflected by the 50 or so hits that entries previously got. On any account the 86 hits the pictures in the lj-cut registered were not definitely not friends-list reloads, requiring specifically clicking on the lj-cut or comments.
   When I have more time I'll stick some REAL sitemeters here and there and see what they tell me.

   Very briefly hung out downtown with samedisorder, ~~this other UC Davis student whose name I don't recall~~ iamrav, and this Irish guy Sean with a PhD in archeology. At first I was a bit alarmed by the latter's accent, but then I realized he was from County Kerry and it all made sense.

   Been reading Ronald Dworkin's legal theories for POL154. Decided his theories are full of crap. He maintains that law doesn't come from laws but from inherent rights that already existed and laws just describe, but this theory gives Courts the ability to completely disregard laws in favor of their interpretation of how these unwritten inherent rights are best served; which I think is extremely dangerous. He argues that because laws have the potential to conflict they cannot be considered authorative. Crap I say, crap. Being in stark opposition to Dworkin I think I am a "legal positivist." Those of you in ASUCD who want to understand and anticipate my thinking more may go look up legal positivism now.. just don't bother reading Dworkin, I think its crap. The end.

   And there no longer are lj invite codes? Its like the berlin wall of LJ came down, only not that significant. The 450 or so of you readers that don't have livejournals may now go and get them. (=
