Update from Website Jaga

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to thank all of you for checking out our Form 5 website. Someone asked me yesterday what kind of activity level there was on the site. So I want to give you some quick updates on how it has progressed.

Since its creation in early January, I've observed an average of about 10 unique visitors each day. Over this same period, there were 10 days with more than 20 unique visitors, with 3rd Feb seeing the peak of 56 unique visitors (no clue why it spiked on that day :-). In short, we have a pretty healthy flow of visitors. (note: in webspeak, a "unique visitor" is simply someone who has not accessed in the past 3 hours. So it's possible for the same person who accesses multiple times a day, as long as with more than 3 hours intervals, to be considered as different unique visitors.)

Who are the visitors? I would assume most of them are our former formmates, with some other Josephians who weren't in Form 5 in exactly 1976 (but around that year anyhow, so we warmly welcome them as they shared similar experiences as us in those heady mid 70s years), and a handful of total strangers who have been visiting the site regularly.

Where did the visitors access from? Although the majority of visitors access from Malaysia (mainly Sarawak and KL), there have been quite a few from other parts of Asia - Singapore, Cambodia (I think we all know who this is :-), China, and the Philippines (I know who this is too!). A few others were in the UK, Australia and at least one from the USA. Then there are unexpected visitors (no idea who) from west and south Africa, and a few from different countries in Europe. So one could say we have quite a global visitor base.

More comments, contributions, feedback wanted. We have a handful of frequent contributors and commenters, but I hope the others who have been "lurking" (i.e. accessing but keeping quiet) will "say something", as we all want to hear from you. No need to be shy lah! You're among old, old friends. So please do share your stories, ask your questions, give your views ... Of course, I hope more will send in photographs and short writeups and even links of interests. Just send them to me at jslyong@hotmail.com and I'll get them on the website as soon as I can (usually within 24 hours). And also feel free to advertise your company, professional or personal websites. Don't worry, all F.O.C. !

So once again, thanks for your participation & do visit frequently.

Cheers

    I visit this favourite site as frequent as possible, hoping to see new updates or cerita. I guess most of the guys are busy, so little time to melawat this site.

    Thanks for the regular updates.
