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 timesApproximately. I lost a few days of logs here and there. in the last year. More than 130 gigabytes of data were shipped out in the same time period. The most popular essays have been:
