♫ Da do. A little transparency for the month of October. I cast my votes, I spin the wheel, I send messages (some frivolous, some not), and I talk a lot.
Below is a record of all nodes read and all votes cast by me from the 1st to the 30th. It's long but it's there if you want to check it.
The opinions are my own. I'll stand by them.
Nodes do not necessarily appear in the order that I read them (accurate to the day I read them not the order), as I tend to open a whole bunch of tabs in FireFox and float between nodes as I stumble around.
Of messages there are but three kinds: Some are meant to say, "I enjoyed this" and often relate a little anecdote related to the node in some way. This lets the noder know their work is being read and enjoyed. Downvote explanations are the other, because I would like to know why something was downvoted, so I extend the courtesy to others. The last one is corrections of various types, most typos and spelling issues.
The wheel is spun every time I use up all my votes. Due to the time difference between the server and my house, sometimes I get to vote twice a day. That's why there are more than ten votes spent during a day and two "Spins!".
