Huzzah! Hawk Wings serves 5 million pages

I’m sorry for the lapse in taste, but I can’t help myself.

This morning at 6.05 am, Hawk Wings served its 5 millionth page to the world.

At least, that’s the total Mint has cranked up since I installed it in July 2006:

So, 3,425 page impressions a day on average, every day for four years. Thanks to everyone who has dropped by, especially to those loyal readers who kept me in their RSS feeds despite repeated long periods of inactivity.

Teary-eyed, as I stand before this milestone, I am grateful to several luminaries in the blogosphere who encouraged me to continue throughout the long stretch when the numbers were not so promising. *sniff*

Thanks too to the aggregators who picked up my posts. Sweet!

Blogging; it’s cheaper than therapy.

P.S. Obviously, this is small beer in the global scheme of things, but it is _my_ beer ;-)

   Huzzah, indeed!

   I’ve had your blog in my feed for several years, eagerly waiting for new posts. I’m glad you’re writing again, though not at the cost of your job.

   And then there are those of us who read via feed, who don’t (generally) add to your page views, but who benefit from your posts anyway. Congrats!

   I’m real glad to see Hawk Wings return. It has always been a valuable source and well worth my time to read.

   Thanks for the effort I know this takes. Mail is important to me and I know of no other source for such current and useful information on getting everything possible out of it.

   Bob
