Hi all,

Guy would like to pass on his thanks for your comments and interest! He’s also put together some answers to the further questions posted below…
What does Guy like / dislike about working at StatCounter?
I like working for StatCounter because the work is interesting, fun and challenging, the people
are great and I like the responsibility. I like seeing the end users enjoying the product.
What is he passionate about outside of work?
My passion is surfing. I go to surf when ever I can and if there are no waves, I watch surfing movies on the Internet.
What does Guy do when he leaves the office every day?
I work from home, so there is no office 🙂 If I’m not working and there are no waves, I’m probably
in front of the computer.
I want to say I’d love to be in Ireland in a very damp, cloudy and foggy day. I live in a sunny country and dislike it (Brazil…). Let’s exchange our houses for a while (with an advantage my bed hasn’t dust under it).
just found out that you are now supporting japanese language in keyword analysis. great, thanks
Sounds like a pretty stand up guy to me — surfing and tech.
We can’t see your face! Lol, thanks for all your dedication to Statcounter. We have been using statcounter for more than 3 years now. Loyal users. Keep up the good work, and the posts about the other statcounter members!

Hey Larry
Find that Damn J.O.B. yet?
Hey Guy,
I am curious as to where you are from and surf. I am not much of a surfer but if I had my druthers would live at the beach. I lived in Long Beach CA for some time and things other than happiness drew me away.

Hello Guy. Thanks for the nice sunset beach photo. I live next to the world’s largest fresh water lake. No surfing going on here. Possibly some wind surfing.
Grew up on Silver Strand Beach Oxnard CA. Some of the surf out that way is the best in this country. I miss kicking off my sand laden sandals feeling the grittiness between my toes.
Anyway man surf’s up – go get it.
hi guy, you’ve just made fool’s mate 😉
What a delightful feature! In the past I’ve seldom clicked on the StatCounter news items, but I’m glad I did this time. Guy strikes me as a good guy with a sense of humor, which we ALL need to get through the day. 😉 “Poker” — terrific name for a dog!
Lot of people will be happy to read about guy working from home as success story for who wants to be their own boss.
Surfers rule.
BTW guy, que paso, I’m not showing any hits today, which is weird. Have I been sabotaged?
THXS.
LOL this blog seems like it’s about to be amazing. and THANK YOU ALL FOR MY STATS!
Thank you all very much. I really appreciate your comments 🙂
