Map of visitors during the past 30 minutes - closeup of Europe & the USA. There's a visitor from China & one from New Zealand too. It's breakfast time at my house, but aready the afternoon in Europe.

Map of visitors during the past half hour. Lunchtime in my town, but people are already done with work & school in Europe by now, while most in Australia are asleep.

We seem to be losing some of Europe, except we still have a strong following in the UK - especially from London & the surrounding area.

As VPNs, proxies, & cloud hosting become more popular & cheaper many of the European ones are getting used to spam & hack people or sites in an effort to hide the attacker's location. So those corrupt ISPs end up getting banned. We get over 500 attacks a day at each of our sites from just Ukraine ISPs, hosts, VPNs, proxies, & clouds. The Ukraine is Russian mob headquarters, so almost all the Ukraine ISPs are banned & blocked because they host a lot of spam & hacking. Because they're blocked at the front end of our servers or sites, they don't show up on the map or counted in the counters.

There's a lot of these corrupt ISPs throughout Europe that get blocked for regularly hosting spammers & hackers. Most of China is banned & blocked for the same reasons. Except in China it's not done by the mob, but is government sponsored as a regular source of revenue for the government, or is used for espionage.

But they're not alone. There's a few ISPs owned by a Russian in my town that regularly spam & hack a lot worldwide. I don't know how they get away with it. They've been around doing their internet crimes for years, & everybody knows about them throughout the world. Some officials must be taking bribes or blackmailed to ignore them, because if most up us did the same crimes in my town, we'd be in prison for the next 6-15 years.

Map of visitors during the past 20 minutes.

I miss the days when this free service would show a full hour of visitors on the map. It was much more interesting. These days they only show the past 10-30 minutes, depending on what they feel like that day or hour. They have a pay version that shows & does more, so this is a ploy to get people to sign up for the pay version. Although the map is a handy service to have, it's not worth paying for to get more. The pay service offers other features & services too, but any of those extras that I would want, I already built into our servers or sites for nothing, so don't need them.

Plus it's not entirely accurate. Depending on my browser or settings, I don't always show up on the map, or when I do, I show in Buffalo, Lockport, Niagara Falls, Toronto, or sometimes somewhere in Europe even though I was still at home the whole time. Some visitors on Time Warner show up on the equator, when our sites show they are not, or I know them so know they're not.

So out of those who actually even show up on the map, I think it's only 75-85% accurate.

Map of visitors over the past 5 1/2 months. The Sissy Empire. 143 countries visited Betty's since May 30th 2015. 36 countries visited in the past 24 hours.

The bright big dots are people that were actually at Betty's when the screen shot was taken about 10 minutes ago.

Recent visitor's browsers & OS during the past 20 minutes.

I see no real trend. Every hour or 2 the graphs change dramatically. We get more users from the eastern half of the USA & the western half of Europe than anywhere else by a far margin, with the story site still being the busiest. During weekday business hours in those areas we may have more visitors on mobile devices. That indicates people will visit Bettys on small devices when they should be busy at school or work.

Windows 10 users come in waves & then disappear. It seems MS forces or initiates the upgrades in bunches, & after people use it a while, they switch back to something else. MS has forced the W10 upgrade on many unwilling participants who suddenly noticed one morning that their machine is running W10 without their permission & no knowledge that they were going to be forced to change to it. MS said it was an error & mistake... yeah right, that's why they tried to load several GB of the W10 OS into most windows computers without your knowledge too?

Later, MS released a statement they do intend on forcing everyone to upgrade to W10 after the new year. It seems the amount of computers on W10 isn't growing fast enough for their liking, so they will force it down our throats more next year.

Updates that many blocked, that would nag users to upgrade to W10, load the OS, install their spyware, or force us to upgrade have recently changed. So now there's a whole new bunch of updates to block to prevent MS malware from infesting our machines with bad stuff.

I'm keeping them blocked in some registry edits, but MS can change that whenever they want to. By MS's own admission you cannot entirely shut off or disable MS spyware once you got it. Any shutting off or disabling it is purely cosmetic to make it look like you did.

Apple has got to love this stuff. Did Apple bribe some high-level staff at MS to pull this crap on it's loyal users?

Meanwhile I see a trend of people totally fed up with these forced upgrades & nagging so have appeared to switch to XP & Vista, which won't accept these upgrades. XP appears to be the choice operating system for the military, governments, & science labs today. Windows 7 is off my laptop, & I put XP on it.

If this nonsense continues, I will put a stripped down bootleg version of W7 on my PC even though I have a legal version currently on it. I have a legal version for the laptop too. It's a shame they have to ruin everything so I don't want to use it for the laptop anymore. It's enough crap to deal with just to keep their MS crap off the W7 PC.

It's about dawn here in the Beautiful Allentown Arts district of my town.

Here's a map of our visitors, what browsers they used, & what OS they were on during the past 30 minutes.
