People Actually Use This?
I was pretty dumbfounded by my blog stats. I had never gotten around to setting anything like this up at the previous host. Dreamhost has the analog log file analyzer turned on by default.
As it turns out, people actually use this blog for information. I actually had someone at work ping me about my blog and how it answered his question. Very strange.
In particular my post about the weird subversion error message when two people have created a directory and the second one doesn’t remember to svn up before svn commit. Apparently that post gets a good amount of search engine love. Aside from the front page and the RSS feed, it’s the most popular page. Not bad for something that’s six months old.
Having this information has a strange side effect of making me want to write more. 
I’m going to have to get around to running analog on the old log files I have from the previous host.
