Feed Description: A weblog about Python from the view point of Jarno Virtanen.
Well, after some twiddling with log files, PIL and my
archives, here's a graph that plots the amount of different visitors
to Python owns us per week in 2003. (The usual disclaimers because of
the unreliability of web server logs apply.)
(Dividing that number with some small prime number might make it
closer to the truth.)
What's notable about the graph is that after the initial hump caused
by the move from blogspot.com to here, the mean traffic has been
mostly constant (in the long run, that is). But I don't complain; a
lots of IPs come here to read my texts and I'm glad for each one of
them.
The two peaks, at around weeks 28-29 and 50-51, were caused by the
post
about Fredrik Lundh and the post
about Hugunin's IronPython, and the links pointing to those posts,
most importantly at the Daily Python URL. Now, I
am pretty pleased about the wrap-up of Fredrik's contributions;
there's some original content from me and healthy dose of links. But
my pathetic post about Hugunin's IronPython didn't have any original
content nor great insights nor especially helpful links. Additionally,
I didn't, and still don't, know much about the project, other than the
scarce remarks mr. Hugunin made, and I probably shouldn't have written
about it at all.
Other than that, I am pretty pleased about the year 2003,
blogging-wise that is. I should be writing more, that's for sure, but
I'm still trying not to feel guilty about neglecting this weblog. It's
still my own publication and I can do whatever-the-hell I please with
it. But, nevertheless, I should be writing more here.
PS. With what do people do these simple graphs? I've been
planning to wrap this functionality I keep re-implementing every now
and then to a easy-to-use module that you'd only pass the data and the
module would figure out how to display it as a PIL Image. I know there
is GNU plot and some graphing libraries, but I only need dead-simple
graph plotting.
