I’ve Been Blanc’d
Posted in nerdliness on Feb 12th, 2008
Great Googly Moogly!
Yesterday I put up a short posting about wistful thinking, wondering what it would be like to have more than a handful of visitors to my site in a day (or week, or month). Today I know what that feels like thanks to the generosity and kindness of one man.
This morning, as usual, [...]
Wistful Thinking
Posted in nerdliness on Feb 11th, 2008
Like any self-respecting nerd with a website, I have a statistics package that tracks visits and page views on my site, and produces graphs and tables and other suitably nerdy artifacts for me to drool over. My package of choice is Mint, from Shaun Inman. (Check out the excellent review by Shawn Blanc.)
My visit numbers [...]
Three Hundred Thousand
Posted in nerdliness on Aug 2nd, 2006
Somewhere in the last posting, or two, I crossed the three hundred thousand word mark on this site. The little counter at the top of the archive page tells me so.
That’s a lot of words.
Amazing what one guy, with no real purpose other than airing his emotional laundry, can do in six or seven years.
(Keep [...]
One Thousand
Posted in nerdliness on Jul 27th, 2006
This entry here at zanshin.net world domination headquarters is the thousandth since we starting counting back in December 1999. Clever readers may note that the posting URL actually says one thousand fifty three. Turns out that Movable Type, the content management system employed by el presidente for life Mark, uses the same pool of numbers [...]
Happy Birthday Zanshin
Posted in life, nerdliness on Feb 19th, 2006

ten years of knowing Michele

Minty Fresh
Posted in nerdliness on Jan 10th, 2006
In just over a month (December 6 – January 10) I’ve had 500 unique visitors to this site view 941 pages. This may not sound like a lot, but for a weblog that is largely the emotional ramblings of a middle-aged philosopher-hacker, I think this is a rather nice number.
The new statistics are a truer [...]
950 Words
Posted in nerdliness on Nov 6th, 2005
On the archive page of this site, towards the top, is a running total of the words written here. Before this posting there were 199,050 words of content contained here. Somewhere in one of the next few postings will be word 200,000.
It is hard for me to believe that I have written this much in [...]
Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics
Posted in nerdliness on Sep 11th, 2005
In the past year my little web site has seen approximately 53,500 visitors. I’m currently averaging about 145 visits per day, or 4,350 per month. Pretty amazing for a site that focuses on my mental state, obscure software, and left leaning politics.
For the the three of you who venture all the way to the bottom [...]
30,000+
Posted in nerdliness on Mar 19th, 2005
My statistics page tells me that zanshin.net has been viewed just over 30,000 times since late September. I’m averaging about 5,000 page views a month.
That’s pretty cool.
What it doesn’t account for is the number of “page views” that are the result of referrer spambots. Even using the “rel=nofollow” tag convention subscribed to by all the [...]
