Happy birthday × 2.
Another year has passed. Though you won't see this for a few more days (as I'm on vacation with no net access), today marks the second anniversary of this blog.
[Update: I finally had a chance to compile some additional statistics, as I did last year.]
In the last year, I've written 208 essays, for a total of 412 in 730 days. Those 412 essays have been served 496,612 times[1] in the last year. More than 130 gigabytes of data were shipped out in the same time period. The most popular essays have been:
| Essay | Hits |
|---|---|
| webarch.pdf | 13615 |
| Verona, Italy | 8412 |
| Bad for the Eyes | 8035 |
| Capri, Italy | 8024 |
| Pub Signs | 7732 |
| Summer Flowers! | 7339 |
| St. Thomas, USVI | 6903 |
| Pisa, Italy | 5902 |
| Pompeii, Italy | 5758 |
| Milan, Italy | 5188 |
With one exception, my only slashdotted essay, all of the essays are from 2002 and 2003. I expect that this is related to searches. The most popular searches were:

I haven't had a chance to consider what else the distribution might mean.
