According to 1&1, the hosting provider that this blog resides on, I received over 140 unique visitors yesterday.
It was the first time I had bothered to check the stats, and I was astounded.
Yeah, I know, that's a tiny figure, yet it's far beyond my expectations of my wife, my mother, and a few friends :-).
