Even I have to meta-blog every once in a while: The first article on this blog was published on 20th Aug. 2004, which means that I have been blogging for over a year.

I have written 131 articles during this time, statistically speaking a little more than one every three days. This is roughly the posting frequency I intended when I started this blog. The longest article was 7202 characters long, the shortest 93 characters, with an average length of about 1600 characters.

However, things look a little different when one looks at the distribution of articles in regard to the month:

month	# articles
8/2004	2
9/2004	3
12/2004	26
1/2005	31
2/2005	24
3/2005	16
4/2005	10
5/2005	8
6/2005	9
7/2005	4
8/2005	5

What’s that? Has my blogging hype peaked in the first months of this year? Or is this a completely normal development? Have I run out of topics to post about?

Or may it simply be due to the fact that I started preparing my diploma thesis in March? And that a) not very much has been happening for me since then, because I’ve been busy working on my thesis, and b) when I come home in the evening, I usually think of other things than of writing even more?

I guess we’ll find out when I hand in my thesis. Which is in another two months. Stay tuned.
