So I am amused by the various ways that I have come up on searches. This can be seen via the NedStatBasic link (the square-root-looking thing) at the bottom of the page and then looking at "How".

I am currently in the process of spitting out a hardcopy of my blog so far. The stats are as follows: active since 10 July 2003, 350 posts, almost all of them mine, amounting to slightly over 60,000 words if you adjust for the phatic stuff for each post. This train-reading will be excellent indeed.
