Ninedays Blog

So the blog's one year anniversary was back in July, but I didn't see a need to celebrate.

Though today while eating my sandwich at lunch I realized: I have had mint installed for a year now.

So I wandered (new tabbed, really) on in and felt proud of my accomplishments. You can't see it but I'm pretty sure in October 2007 I got less than 300 unique hits the entire month. Last month we jumped to a staggering 14,500. I'm really proud of myself. What is that anyways, a 4830% increase or something like that, not half bad. It's almost like I know what I'm doing when it comes to writing and SEO and such nonsense, like I work at a search engine marketing company or something.

Granted we've got a bunch of one hit wonders thanks to stumble upon and delicious but really this is a major accomplishment for me. So here's to you, and an even better year next year, go Oct. 2008 - Oct. 2009.

On a side note, more articles are in my deadlines:

• Finishing up the digg/delicious API series (by EOM)
• More Prototype snippits, including work with forms, check boxes and all that magical good stuff
• Those life feed / stream tutorials are in 1/2 completion so get ready for the Tubes / PHP and JS behind that project :)

And in the future expect some CakePHP scripts...I've been playing with that lately and let me tell you it's pretty neat!
