Is this the Ross Goodman you are looking for?
I don’t know what happened but yesterday this blog saw a spike in traffic. It normally averages less than 80 views per day but yesterday – 539.
I have done some quick analysis:
Most of the traffic is coming from Google.
About 200 views hit my home page rather than a specific post, the others are on a variety of posts – no hotspot there.
The search terms used are no different from other days.
All I can surmise is that either another Ross Goodman (there are a few of us) has done something and lots of people have found this site or Google have changed an algorithm somewhere and I’m benefiting from it.
Let me know if you have any ideas!

Joking aside – read the book The Martian – it’s great!
Reminds me of – but is better than, the old “Classical does Rock” series!
