If nothing else, I usually have a month of QotD entries scheduled along with daily 2:00am videos, so if I can&#8217;t get online for whatever reason, there&#8217;s at least a minimum of blog activity for regular visitors. Those visitors seem to be holding to the same rough volume as the last few years: just over 900,000 non-bot hits so far, which points to a likely two million+ hits by the end of December. Not too shabby for a very off-the-beaten-track blog after 15 years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Quotulatiousness-traffic-stats-9-May-2019.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Quotulatiousness-traffic-stats-9-May-2019-853x222.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"222\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-48285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Quotulatiousness-traffic-stats-9-May-2019-853x222.png 853w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Quotulatiousness-traffic-stats-9-May-2019-150x39.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Quotulatiousness-traffic-stats-9-May-2019-480x125.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Quotulatiousness-traffic-stats-9-May-2019-768x199.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Quotulatiousness-traffic-stats-9-May-2019.png 974w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Earlier anniversary postings:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/2018\/05\/10\/fourteenth-blogiversary\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fourteenth anniversary<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/2017\/05\/10\/and-another-blogiversary-rolls-past\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Thirteenth anniversary<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/2016\/05\/10\/twelfth-blogiversary\/\" target=\"_blank\">Twelfth anniversary<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/2015\/05\/10\/it-cant-really-be-eleven-years-already-can-it\/\" target=\"_blank\">Eleventh anniversary<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/2014\/05\/10\/ten-years-of-quotulatiousness\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tenth anniversary<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/2013\/05\/10\/nine-years-of-blogging\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ninth anniversary<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/2012\/05\/10\/eight-years-of-blogging\/\" target=\"_blank\">Eighth anniversary<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/2011\/05\/10\/seventh-anniversary-at-quotulatiousness\/\" target=\"_blank\">Seventh anniversary<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/2010\/05\/10\/six-years-of-blogging\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sixth anniversary<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unfortunately, the first five years of postings &mdash; when I was merely a freeloading tenant on Jon P&#8217;s site &#8230; and eventually consuming some 90+% of his paid bandwidth and storage &mdash; don&#8217;t seem to be accessible any more, at least I haven&#8217;t been able to get access for quite some time:<\/p>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bolditalic.com\/quotulatiousness_archive\/005462.html\" target=\"_blank\">(Very belated) Fifth anniversary<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bolditalic.com\/quotulatiousness_archive\/004535.html\" target=\"_blank\">(Premature) Fourth anniversary<\/a> (a few days later, I welcomed my <a href=\"http:\/\/bolditalic.com\/quotulatiousness_archive\/004545.html\" target=\"_blank\">150,000th visitor<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bolditalic.com\/quotulatiousness_archive\/003697.html\" target=\"_blank\">Third anniversary<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bolditalic.com\/quotulatiousness_archive\/002785.html\" target=\"_blank\">(Belated) Second anniversary<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/bolditalic.com\/quotulatiousness_archive\/001333.html\" target=\"_blank\">First anniversary<\/a><\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m not one of the original wave of bloggers, but I have been keeping this blog going pretty much continuously since 10 May 2004, which I think is pretty good going.
