Honestly, I almost forgot again.

So:

ninme has officially existed for three whole years. To celebrate again, some stats (I used to put last year’s in brackets but honestly, I can’t remember how I added the first set up, so to avoid confusion I’m ditching those):

My visits numbers and things seem to have gone down slightly (assuming I’ve somehow managed to add everything up right both last year and this), but my views per visitor and things seem to have gone up quite a bit. So I guess this past year I’ve scared off all the casual readers? My bandwidth is way down, but I think that’s because Peter did some rather cruel things to the spiders and bots. Whether that had anything to do with the other numbers, I dunno. I wouldn’t have thought so, but I’m not really sure how good awstats is as telling them apart.

So, thanks to all for another happy return, and hopefully you’ll all happily return as well. (Of course, this will be my first election year… There is that chance my head will explode and take the blog with it…)
