Three Years
…And that makes three. Three years of blogging daily, without a break in that whole time. I started on August 2, 2003, and noted the yearly milestones for year one and year two. I’m also coming up on the two-thousandth-post mark, though not quite so soon–probably I’ll hit that late September or early October. Blog readership is down a bit recently, but that may be more because of the fact that I put trackbacks to rest, and as a result spam, now limited to comment spam and referrer spam, has trickled down to just three or four thousand a week. About 15% of my visitors are returning readers, and according to Google Analytics, several hundred people visit regularly (more than half from the U.S., another quarter from Japan, and the rest from mostly English-speaking countries, naturally).
And so on to year number four…

Congrats Luis! 3 years is a heck of an accomplishment!
Thanks for all your hard work. It is always great to visit your blog. If I ever get up to Tokyo I will take you out for a beer. Or if you are ever down near Yamaguchi–the same.
Thanks again.
