Well, that was weird...

The last time I mentioned the traffic here at the blog was in early September, and I was getting a bit more traffic than expected.

However, at the end of September the spike in traffic just kept going up.
 

 

It has basically skewed the entire data for the history of the blog. In early years, I'd had a few months peaking above 20k, in the last 2 years a couple of months even peaked above 30k, but last month managed to beat 180k. 

Today, as of 6am Australian Eastern Standard Time....it looks like everything has gone back to it's previous rate of traffic. Instead of hundreds of views every hour, we're back to a dozen or so.

I've had previous anomalies where a one-off hour might have had a few hundred a few hundred views, but getting that level of traffic for over a month was just weird.

Anyway...seems to be over now.

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 7)

A working computer and scanner...that means it is time to get back to work on the geomorph sequence. A lot of the discussion in this set of tutorials has been focused around square geomorphs. They're the easiest for most people to wrap their heads around.  But my preferred form of geomorph is based around the hexagon, these tend to produce more organic and interesting shapes. This is true for natural environments, but it's no less true for urban environments. The example set of geomorphs above as a simple two-phase system. One edge type is plain, the other edge type has a road piercing the centre. There could be dozens of combinations and permutations for each of the two phases around the hexagonal edges, but a quick look at the variety of buildings and road shapes shows that there could literally be hundreds of possible options when drawing these map fragments. But you certainly don't need to create hundreds of designs for the system to be effective. Usin...

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 1)

After numerous requests to get back to map tutorials, it's time to start our new series. This time focusing on the concept of geomorphs, modular map fragments that can be mixed and matched. We'll start with a couple of theoretical tutorials before sinking into a few more practical posts. I'm predicting a dozen or so posts in this sequence, but let's see how long it lasts.
