@Talk Binary

Congrats on graduating! :) I am done with programming courses myself and now have more free time.

I won’t really describe my current progress as goal-driven. More like persistence-driven. :) If you write something there are people who search for it out there. Do it for years and amount of what you wrote and people who find it can only increase.

Congrats. I was at 14-15k visitors a month a couple of months ago and increasing but school ultimately kept me busy. Now that I’ve graduated from undergrad I expect to have more free time as a grad student since I’m not going to be working anymore.

It’s nice knowing that with goals, it can be done!

@rvdmast

Will do and glad to have you! Hope that post every other day (for now) is still enough to qualify for morning coffee routine. :)

rarst.net, along with 2 or 3 other sites, has been part of my “morning coffee” since jan. 2009.
Keep the cynical thoughts coming!

@Gueb

Thank you! :) Luring lurkers out is bit of a sport. I am introvert and much of a lurker myself, so I know how much commitment comments from lurkers mean.

Martin really cranked up pace lately, I hadn’t commented as much there in recent months.

And naturally “cynical thoughts” is there and only more prominent in new theme!

@JeeMan

I know most visitors are passing in search of quick fix and I am glad to help them.

But it really really (really!) rocks to have visitors like you who find all (or at least most) of blog genuinely interesting and useful.

Thanks!

@Angelo

Reading every post is another praise I value very highly and don’t take for granted. :)

I staggered a bit after I exhausted my pool of core software, but I think it only makes more interesting to research and write about new things (only not that much, newly discovered stuff takes considerably more time to evaluate).

@Rarst

No need to thank me. You keep putting out quality posts, I can’t help but read them. I may not comment on everything, but rest assured I read through every one of your posts – which isn’t something I do with every blogger.

I have been visiting for the last year (year and a half?), and sometimes commenting.

I really enjoy most of your posts, because it gives me another view on some stuff I already know – or I learn new stuff on something I did not know existed (i.e. the war about wordpress – that post really got me to think).

Thanks a lot for interesting reading.

Keep up the good work, and I’ll keep on visiting. :)

“Lurker or two coming out will be fitting for occasion. ;)”

I’ll oblige. Congrats on the milestone. :)
Been visiting for a long time thanks to your comments on gHacks.

Hope the new theme isn’t missing “cynical thoughts” in the logo. ;)
