17/07/02 - After taking down the PCC on hitting a million clicks, I got loads of email asking for it to be put back, so I have. There's no target now though, so it really is completely pointless. I may hide a few little surprises at certain numbers though...

About
I've had enough contact emails and media attention now asking for information that it's going to save time to put up a page dedicated to the PCC.
Firstly, I'd like to say thanks to those of you who've got in touch - it's really nice to know that this is appreciated, even if it's pointless. Secondly, you all have WAY too much time on your hands ;)
I had the idea for the pointless click counter some time last year, while testing a simple hit counter for a friend. I wrote some simple code for it, and put it on my website. Over the year, it gained a few thousand clicks, slowly. Then, last friday, b3ta linked to it from their newsletter, which goes out to about 40,000 people. By monday, I'd hit the target of 1 million.
