Throwin’ Some Numbers Atcha
March 14th, 2006Ready?
32 - Today is/was my birthday. I turn(ed) 32. It’s also Pi day!
16 - Barbie reminded me that we’ve known each other for half our lives. We wmet when we were 16. Wow!
9,309- the number of “sessions” counted for Library Stuff on March 1st. I’ve been hovering around the 9,000 mark for a few months and I now have more days over than under. So, thank you for your continued readership. For those who are curious, here is how Urchin defines a “session”:
“A ‘Session’ is defined as a series of clicks on your site by an individual visitor during a specific period of time. A Session is initiated when the visitor arrives at your site, and it ends when the browser is closed or there is a period of inactivity. Sessions quantities will vary to some degree based on what type of visitor tracking method is employed.”
Whatever it means, as long as that number continues to increase, I’m a happy guy.
8 - The number of days that I’ll be away from home starting on Sunday. I’ll be traveling to Washington D.C. to present to a bunch of government librarians for Lexis Nexis on Monday morning. The next day is my preconference at Computers in Libraries. Then on Tuesday afternoon, I hop on a plane to Boston for the big PLA show where Andrea and I will be leading a team of over 15 bloggers to report on the event for the PLA Blog.
Millions - The number of splogs that I have deleted over the past 3 weeks at work. Part of my job at PubSub is to make sure that the content we send to end users is clean, based on discussions, and free of splogs. I’ve spoken to a few people who have been thrilled with the clean results since we started this initiative.
730 - (two years) - The number of days since my life-changing panic attacks. I continue to live with panic disorder, although the past year has been pretty much panic free. But, if I forget about it for one moment, I’ll probably feel it. The medication is working well and I’m feeling great.
Onward…
