My favourite American town?
It has to be Pasadena…
My favourite American institute of higher education?
It has to be Caltech…
Why?
Because last night, following my appearance on Thinking Anglicans, someone with an IP address belonging to Caltech (yes, you know who you are, DHCP-64-192.gps.caltech.edu!), spent 2 hours 22 mins 25 secs working his/her/their way through the Kill George series on this blog.
Not even my mother has devoted 2 hours 22 mins 25 secs to my writing. Ever. In the whole of my life. Combined!
Thank you, whoever is behind DHCP-64-192.gps.caltech.edu (may I call you DHCP?). I appreciate your interest, and I hope you were sufficiently rewarded for your efforts

Maybe they just left a web browser open on that page?

Oh ye of little faith (or charity!)
If they did leave a web browser open on that page, then it was a web browser which could click through, methodically and in order, all the posts in series in 15 minute intervals. I think that might constitute a form of pseudo-Turing test.

I think I’m spending more time on it than that! It is a great series!

It is mildly impolite to post your readers’ IP addresses. But I did quite enjoy this series while waiting for TAR and GZIP to run. It also came in handy for a strategic planning meeting at church the next day.
