That Was The Year That Was 2005
The above graph is my site stats for 2005. As you can see there was quite a change over the year. This site went from my little fiddly corner of the web which around 500 or less people read a month to, well I’ll let you work it out from the graph.
Most of that is thanks to Touched and SACK, both of which are about to have major updates. SACK should be updated tomorrow, Touched not too long after, though give me some hangover recovery time. I also have many other updates to my other code that is up here. I should apologise, I think, for the way I’ve pushed things back repeatedly on here over the last 6 months or so, but I won’t: I’ll just do what I should have done in the first place. Update them.
I want to thank everyone that has come here over the past year. This site has moved from being a barely maintained side project, to somewhere that I concider my main face to the world; my main method of communication. I intend to live up to that, and make it even more useful to people coming here. Time to live up to that title of “Web Professional” and be professional about this site.
Or as I put it somewhere else recently:
I’m going to stop treating life like a buffet and hovering around it… trying to pick the good stuff, but being beaten to that nice prawn thing at the end. Time to stand on the table with my pants around my ankles, my shirt unbuttoned, declaring I’m the king of spain and I rule all crustaceans, especially those smothered in delicious sauce.
Fuck yes. No-one messes with my mini-lobsters anymore.
Drink up ladies and gentlemen. The King Of Spain commands it.
Here is to 2006. May it find you all well, thank you for being here.
