Just a quick heads up - Barts News has just crossed the magical boundary of 256 posts. Celebrating 100 posts is for noobs, in here we think in Hex. Now, if you just started counting those posts, don't be surprised if you see less of them - some are still in production, but the overall post counter (including draft ones) has just risen over the 8bit threshold.
What has happened during these two and a half years it took me to produce these posts?
I have been to Tokyo Game Show as official representative of CD-Action magazine, met Jessica Chobot and grabbed a beer with Kotaku's two Brians. Maciej Miąsik noticed my post on his old XLand games and port of Heartlight PC to PSP, so did Avi Munchuk from Aviary (even though he did not reply to my comment). I got linked to from some more popular blogs and websites.
How did it all begin?
I originally started Barts News as a therapeutic kind of thing: I was very ill at the time and could not do anything more active. It turned out to work just fine and I am happy to announce that I feel fine enough to train martial arts, dance salsa, work, study Japanese and lead a normal life on my own. Running blog turned out to be so much fun I actually opened another one, this time on old books.
How many visits do you usually get?
On the best day I've had about 3,500 visits and on average day pageloads vary between one and two hundreds. It's not that much, seeing how the site has been around for more than two years now, but it's not too bad either. At least someone is reading the damn thing.
What do people search on your blog?
Most popular post has been the one on little programs to help you with Japanese and most popular searches usually are related to PSP, especially PDF on PSP and Bookr. Strangely enough, the posts I am most proud of somehow don't get that much appreciation, except maybe the one on Wipeout Pure and in-game ads. Also, short referral fun for you to see some of the weird searches that apparently lead to my site:
Any final thoughts?

how to sacrifice Ubuntu - with obsidian dagger, of course!
nazi girls - not here, my friend... oh, wait
how are Greek and Japanese goddesses similar? - they have breasts
spank Chobot - some do realize this fantasy in the real world, not me though
gameboy games for girls in firefox - my imagination just switched off
how to be strong enough to finish "dungeon siege" - I suggest doing push-ups and taking cold showers, if these don't help, then face it: perhaps you are just too weak to finish Dungeon Siege
Any final thoughts?
