Apparently I'm 236 words short of 50,000 total words written for my blog over 161 posts1. That's about 309 words per post on average. I was playing around with the site just now and just out of curiosity I ran this:
$ find archive/ -name "*.md"|xargs -I {} cat {} | wc -w
49764
Now curious, I did some more digging to see what I could learn; here's a few different statistics:
- Longest post:
- A Vision of the Open Web - 1574 words
- Shortest post:
- BloodMoon Eclipse Photos - 6 words
- Most average length post:
- Can we save the open web? - 309 words
- If we count all the drafts I've never published (but still have) the grand total goes up to 64,088 words.
- That's 14,324 words unpublished.
- 154 different tags used on posts
- Most used tags:
- blog: 21 times
- web: 14 times
- space: 10 times
- open web: 10 times
- blogging: 10 times
- python: 8 times
- Least used tags:
- D&D, FCC, OS X, alternatives, angular... (and 105 more)
Just for the occasion, I made up a pretty graph.
It's hard to believe that I've been blogging for almost 5 years on this site, and if you count my two blogs before this one, then it's been almost 6 years.
And in case you're wondering: yes, this post is just over 236 words. 🎉
1 Technically that 50,000 word count includes handcrafted HTML inside a post's markdown. It's not that much of a factor and I'm defending my claim because technically I wrote that HTML so there.
