I do not use AI for anything: AI is destroying creativity.
The website: is about me, Justin Tuijl, sort of. Well, more about the output I have made and the experiences that got me there. Sometimes this site has been my personal website, sometimes my author site, sometimes my musician site, sometimes my conservation notes. Some of the content goes way back to my first personal website on Yahoo Geocities in 1998. So where I have finally got to is this, the website is still about me, sort of, but it contains my author work, musician notes & works, conservation notes and a bunch of other items that I did.
My Geocities site used to get about 1000 to 5000 visits a month. This carried on to my self-hosted personal sites, once I had greylizard.net and then I moved it all to justintuijl.com. The traffic stayed high until 2020… then the visits dropped off a cliff, right down to zero. Nothing for months. The visit graph was a flat-line. Weird. I guess I said something the search engines didn’t like, or, everyone died or something. The site is still low on traffic in 2024, most visitors are from Russia, China and places like that, not much from the UK. Not that it matters a lot, I put the URL on my books, so I guess I should keep it until the domain expires or the hosting dies, or the world ends. As a further note, the Asia visitors are usually hackers, looking for a way in to the site. They mostly bounce, which means they come to one page and go again. It’s interesting to see the difference with other sites I have. The Kipper Family site I run has a very low bounce rate, in that, a visitor comes and looks at several pages. Ok, it might mean that people come to this website and don’t like what they see! Still, in this age when everyone seeks validation.. “likes” etc. I should just be happy to publish and be damned, regardless of quantity of visits. I hope you find something of interest here, as, if you read this you are one of the very few. Sometimes I wonder what the point of a website with no visitors is, I mean, isn’t a website for visitors? Or just a decadent folly? Or just a complete waste of my time…?
So, the website is getting very little views at all. You can see too at w3counter (stats of this website traffic)
I really must stop spending time on it. I could spam social media and get those views up but I don’t really see the point. What I should do is logout and just write. Anyway, if you read this you might well be the only one who has.
This is the personal website stuff: here
And this link is all the content that is public (sometimes this is all the website content, sometimes just a little is free to access)
I’m not feeling the desire to add new content and the site has been slimmed down somewhat.
All the best, Justin.
