MAS o Menos

Way back in 2003 I went to a Chinese restaurant which used paper place mats. On my place mat was the Chinese Zodiac Compatibility chart. It showed all the animals and what years represented which animals. And it also showed which animals were compatible and which were not compatible. Before spilling Kung Pao sauce on mine, I folded it up and put it in my pocket. Once I got home I created a web-based version of the chart.

To my surprise, over the years that zodiac calculator became the single most popular page on the CriticalMAS domain. Recent numbers show it makes up for 11% of the traffic on this site.  Now that my most of my photo galleries and writings are part of my new WordPress blog, it doesn’t make much sense to support a single rogue Classic ASP page on this domain.

Today I recoded the Chinese Zodiac Compatibility Calculator in ASP.NET and moved it over to my technical domain Digital Colony.   All the redirects are in place, so in theory the 11% traffic I lose here will end up on my other domain.  But we know Lord Google doesn’t like it when you move 5 year old pages.  Oh well.
