Since I started this little adventure I have become at times obsessed with the SiteMeter. Which particular stats I'm focused on varies with time but I focus on it entirely too much.

Recently I figured out that the site meter was not properly installed. I wasn't counting people who followed links or searches to archived posts. I was only counting the main page. As it turns out I was only counting about a third of the site's traffic.

Since fixing that, I have hit at least one SiteMeter milestone, my first 1000 visit month.

As of 8:15 p.m. EDT I am on track to hit two more. I'm 2 hits away from my first 100 hit day, and a few short hours away from a day without a zero hour. (A day with at least one hit in each hour).

Of course I realize that by writing and posting this it is likely that I will not get another hit for the rest of the day. But most addictive behavior is self destructive so its no surprise that a SiteMeter addict would shoot himself in the foot.

Have you chosen sides? More importantly have you given?

If you answered "No" DO IT NOW

UPDATE: 100 hit day as of 8:43. YaY!
