We've been tossing around this query on the Habari mailing list that will extract some basic statistics from the blog.

I've run this query and published the output here:

Year	Comment Count	Post Count	Average Post Length	Total Length
2008	9	1	4825.0000	4825
2007	867	128	3731.9375	477688
2006	967	312	2711.8013	846082
2005	3349	890	1339.7146	1192346
2004	1132	712	1477.3399	1051866
2003	154	301	2511.2093	755874
2002	5	52	1861.2308	96784
2001	NULL	1	6820.0000	6820
2000	NULL	3	14876.0000	44628
1999	NULL	189	2844.7619	537660

The stats for earlier years are off since much of that content wasn't migrated over time, but there is at least one interesting trend here: I'm blogging less frequently, but writing more. And that is probably a good thing.
