You should only use this code if you currently have less than 4GB, or are a new user. Using it on accounts larger than 4GB may actually drop your storage space.

So, with the disclaimer out of the way, log in to your SpiderOak.com account via the website then go to ‘Account’ (top right) then click the ‘Buy More Space’ button. Now enter this code:

FullcirclemagFans

You’ll now have two options. Up your storage to 4GB, or buy a storage package for 25% off.

PLEASE NOTE: the 4GB option of the code will expire on the 28th June. Using the code after that date will still get you 25% off.

Enjoy your extra space, and thanks to Jovan at SpiderOak for the kind offer.

* We don’t actually have a tower, but it makes us seem bigger.

First, the world:

The Official Full Circle Map of Awesomeness

Approximately 46k visitors in 40 days. That’s not bad! Google Analytics tells me that the average pages per visit is 3, and the average stay is 3mins. You folks don’t have much in the way of an attention span, do you? Roughly 55% are new visitors, and about 45% are bounces.

Zooming in:

United States of America & Canada

From the US we receive about 9k visits. That’s our #1 country/territory. Canada gets us a further 1k visits and is #7 in the Google Analytics list of top countries/territories. Number 2 on the list is Italy:

Europe

The mighty Italian team brings over 4k visitors with over 60% of those being returning visitors. Good job Italy! Fourth in the list is France with almost 2k visitors, most of those are bounces. Germany is #5 with nearly 2k too which are split between returning visits and bounces. Same for Spain which is #6.

United Kingdom

The UK, small as it is, brings 3.5k visitors and is #3 on the list. Of those visitors it’s split 50/50 between returning visitors and bounces.

The rest of you guys need to step up your game and spread the word!  :)

Not surprisingly, most of you folks use Linux. Over 45% of visitors are using Linux while 35% are using Windows. Almost 10% use Android while only 5% use a Mac/iPad to visit. Almost 50% of folks use Firefox with only 30% using Chrome. Internet Explorer fills a whopping 5% (tee hee!).

Although I’m sad to say that not many people are using our social media buttons to share posts with Facebook, Twitter or Google+. Come on folks, click them buttons!  :)

I’ve created a Full Circle project, and a Full Circle team, on LaunchPad. The idea being that non-writers can go to the project page, click ‘Answers‘ at the top of the page, and leave your article ideas, but please be specific with your idea! Don’t just put ‘server article’, please specify what the server should do!

Readers who fancy writing an article, but aren’t sure what to write about, can register on the Full Circle team page then assign article ideas to themselves and get writing! I would ask that if you can’t get the article written within several weeks (a month at most) that you reopen the question to let someone else grab the idea.

I hope that this will let you good folks participate more!  :)

That’s right, Full Circle issue 39 is out!  We’ve got a review of the iRobot iPad Android tablet, talk about virtualizing Fedora, virtual memory, new interviews, and more! (Oh, and we seem to have the recurring theme of ’13′ in our articles.)

This month:

• Command and Conquer.
• How-To : Program in Python – Part 13, Virtualize – Fedora 13, and Understand Virtual Memory.
• Review – iRobot iPad.
• Top 5 – Documentation Sites.
• plus: MOTU Interview, Ubuntu Games, My Opinion, My Story, and now with all new LoCo and Translation Team interviews!

Download it here, as always.

(P.S. We just overhauled the back end of the site.  If you’ve made an account or comment within the last 36 hours, it may have disappeared.  Plus, f anything seems awry to you, please, let us know!  Thanks!)

In this issue, a review of Ubuntu 10.04, a new series on virtualization, and much, much more. Also, don’t forget to listen to the companion Full Circle Podcast for some good insight into the Ubuntu world.
