Well, here it is, +2.

Thanks to Freduardo for picking up the screenshot.

I’ve said it a couple of time before, but I really am flattered that half a million people would find anything here interesting enough to want to visit. Sometimes I can even rationalize and tell myself the spammers are flattering too, in a twisted, stupid kind of way.

Statistics are only interesting to some, but I will say that I’ve made roughly 875 posts since August 2006, with the bulk being Ubuntu- or Linux-related. The most popular post, by an immense margin, was the rtorrent tutorial, which continues to get more than 200 hits a day, sometimes more.

Regardless of why you’re here, I thank you. I enjoy your comments (even the trolls sometimes) and e-mails, and I hope you find something useful or helpful in these notes. Cheers, and best wishes in your Linux adventures! See you at 1,000,000!
