2005-07-31 14:45 The first post, “Philosophy of the Starry Sky,” marked the founding of this blog.

On 2005-12-29 at 19:48, less than five months later, I posted “My 100th blog post

And again, less than five months later, this is my 200th blog post. (Some posts have been set to hidden by me.)

I downloaded Yaku’s “blog export backup,”

the size of the compressed package is: 507 KB (519,482 bytes)

the text files inside amount to: 2.18 MB (2,294,819 bytes)

Here are the word-count statistics (the file contains a lot of English code):

Pages                                        783

Words                                        599,516

Characters (excluding spaces)            1,704,482

Characters (including spaces)               1,783,475

Paragraphs                                    6,247

Lines                                        34,424

Non-Chinese words                  99,233

Chinese characters and Korean words      500,283

In short, there are already at least 500,000 Chinese characters on my blog; in less than nine months altogether—that is to say, an average of about 55,000 characters written per month, or nearly 2,000 characters per day! I was startled myself at first…

Sigh… if this keeps up, I’m going to write more than I speak. (Note: on average, people spend about an hour a day talking; I, of course, fall below the average.)

But the momentum is good, so let’s keep it up: read more, write more.

    Strictly speaking, the first several blog posts were written before the blog was established, so they can’t be counted as part of this more-than-half-year of writing. But if we calculate only the articles written in the past few months, my average daily writing volume is actually slightly more than 2,000 characters.

    More strictly speaking, the 200 blog posts include the entry “ [Pinned] Passing by, leave a message here” as well.
