Time for my weekly look at the log files. First up - the weekly BottomFeeder downloads. Volume is holding steady in the low 300s (around 320 per day last week):

Platform	BottomFeeder Downloads
Windows	565
HPUX	441
Mac 8/9	342
Sources	253
Linux x86	208
Mac X	173
CE ARM	97
Update	62
Solaris	25
Windows98/ME	21
Linux Sparc	19
AIX	18
Linux PPC	6
SGI	5
ADUX	5
CE x86	2
Source Script	2

Those download numbers aren't much different than they have been - but again, you can see the value in having a seamless cross platform tool - there's a lot of interest from platforms that aren't well served by other tools. I'm relieved to see the Win98/ME numbers dropping - maybe that means less overall use and a pattern of upgrading to newer releases of Windows? One can always hope :) Now I'll have a look at the accesses to the blog pages on a per-tool basis:

Tool	Percentage of Accesses
Mozilla	55.3%
Internet Explorer	31.6%
Other	6.7%
Google Bot	3.7%
MSN Bot	1.7%
BottomFeeder	1%

That's access to the html blog pages by tool - it's pretty clear that my readership is skewed over towards Mozilla based (likely Firefox) tools. Finally, let's have a look at the tool accesses to the RSS feeds:

Tool	Percentage of Accesses
Mozilla	22.8%
BottomFeeder	18.8%
Net News Wire	14.4%
Other	7.4%
Safari RSS	4%
NewsGator	3.9%
BlogLines	3.4%
Java	3.1%
SharpReader	3%
BlogSearch	2.9%
Lilina	2%
Planet Smalltalk	1.8%
Liferea	1.8%
MSN Bot	1.5%
Feed Demon	1.4%
Internet Explorer	1.3%
Feed Reader	1.2%
Feed Tagger	1.1%
RSS Bandit	1%
Opera	1%
Python	1%
Google Bot	1%
Jakarta	1%
JetBrains	1%

You can see that I've broken "other" down a bit more - there's more variety in the reader space than I had been tracking. It still looks like I'm getting a disproportionate number of Mac users, which is interesting.
