Sometime during August I recorded my 10,000th hit on this blog. OK, that doesn’t put me in the A-list ( more like the does-anybody-know-what-comes-after-Z-list) but it’s a start. I started the blog in February 2006 as a destination for my del.icio.us feed auto-posts, but my first real post wasn’t until December 2006. Mind you, my 11 year old son, who only started blogging this April, has already passed his 20,000th 30,000th hit!
So, a big thank-you to you, the readers; especially those who’ve commented and even more especially, those of you who have done me the honour of subscribing to the Gobán Saor feed via RSS. (Not that I know how many of you have subscribed, as WordPress.com no longer provides feed reader stats. 
)
Thanks again,

UPDATE: Jan 28th 2008
Today I recorded my 20,000th hit, and am getting a lot of queries through my Contact Me page. Hits took a dip after I changed over to using my own sub-domain (http://blog.gobansaor.com) but they’ve now well recovered. Mind you, my son is still racing ahead of me, he passed the 100,000th mark over Christmas!!!
I’ve liked your content and am glad you’ve been sharing it with the world. Keep up your unique perspective on micro ETL; it’s a voice not often heard and is an important contribution to the blogosphere.
Thanks Nicholas for the encouraging words.
I’ve followed your blog from its Bayon Technology days. I continue to be impressed with the on going development of the Pentaho BI suite. Although Pentaho is positioned as a ‘big iron’ solution, the worlds of micro BI and ‘big ticket’ BI constantly overlap, with micro BI often acting as the prototype for future data warehouses and providing point solutions at the ragged edges of mature BI environments.
