It happened last night sometime.
The counter on this page passed 1,600,000.
That’s the number of visits since the old clunker of a counter was installed in November 1999. Back before “blog” was a common word, and when I was hand-coding each day’s entry. Years before switching to blog software.
The last milestone, 1.5 million, was reached at the end of May. At this pace, the count will be close to 1.7 million by the end of this year.
Here’s the growth recorded by year since 2001:
2001 . . 107,157
2002 . . 112,165
2003 . . 129,624
2004 . . 160,677
2005 . . 177,202
2006 . . 194,554
2007 . . 212,971
2008 . . 272,835
2009 . . 225,390 (to date)
