Countdown

This post will remain on top until we click over.


Site
Meter


I’ll be busy in a seminar today, but this page may reveal the lucky 10 millionth visitor, if someone out there is quick enough to catch it. My guess is that we’ll click over around midday on Tuesday.
Update: As I explained, I wasn’t able to monitor the site during the big Sitemeter click-over due to other commitments. According to some of you, the 10 millionth visit came from Charlotte, North Carolina. Unless someone caught a screenshot of that visitor’s details, their identity will always be a mystery. But it was fun to watch the symbolic* number fall, nonetheless.
Thanks to everyone for your kind comments, and to the guest bloggers and commentors who help enrichen the content here. SDA has evolved into a bit of a monster, and it would be extremely difficult to manage it without the generousity of those who volunteer their time and their suggestions.
(*I say symbolic, because Sitemeter only captures a percentage of the traffic. The actual server stats register a few thousand visits more each day that don’t show up on the public counter.)

  1. I noticed just yesterday that the ten millionth visit was imminent. Meant to remark, but stuff came up.
    Very impressive. All I’ve got is nearly 140,000 since Sept. 15, 2005.
    Good work, K.

  2. Well, it’s not bad, Tomax. I seem to grow my regular readership a little each year. Right now I’m averaging 200 visits a day. Nice to know that I have at least a cult following, however relatively small…

  3. 9,999,407 ,,, dang, I gota go to a meeting. Good Grief ! They are kiln me the meeting is about personal hygiene, jezuuuus, all they have to do is walk down the hall and you can smell the ones who don’t bath, like the cat from the middle-,,,, oh nevermind, ya’ll get the picture.
    Go Kate go !!!!!

  4. Today across Canada…
    There is very little work getting done as everyone is watching the counter tick.
    Even Richard War*an and the CHRC are probably adding to the count. That goes to the “little work” statement.
    Congrats Kate.

  5. …and Kate herself checking in from the east!! Hope Toronto is good for you Kate. It does have some redeeming charactaristics.

  6. wouldn’t it be great if Kate got the 10M hit herself? Why, she should take herself out to dinner to celebrate just for being within 100….
    Congrats, and is the next benchmark 20M or 100M?

  7. …just another minute honey (wife’s calling)
    Just another minute…Honey, just another minute please…
    …got…to…keep…watching…got…to keep refreshing…
    got to……………………………………………………………………………

  8. …DANG! Gotta go.
    Wife was asking what I’d win if we hit 10M – ‘a small dead animal’?
    Well, here it is:
    *******************************
    CONGRATULATIONS KATE!

  9. Looks like I’m hooped at being 10,000,000. Company just arrived and my wife will kill me if I sit in here any longer. Good luck everyone!

  10. looks like Kate was right in her prediction although I’m not sure if Saskatchewan is 3 or 4 hours later than me.

  11. ohhh…we’ve got it bad people!
    I was supposed to be out running errands…lol…
    Was everyone this interested in Y2000?

  12. 10,000,001! First prize was a trip to Delisle, Sask. Second prize was two trips… (Albertan joke.:))

  15. What’s going on is possible a huge “hit” problem when we all tried to post at the same time…lol…
    Everything froze here!
    Let’s party!
    Hope you can whoop it up in TO, Kate!

  16. I had it up but couldn’t take a screen shot on my windows box. Anyway, it was at 1:18 pm Toronto time. But it was from the city/area of Charlotte NC.
