I actually care about the statistics for the blog that is part of my day job. Largely I care because by boss cares but there is a fair amount of ego involved. The latter is why I checked the statistics on visitors by country recently. Since August of 2008 the blog has been visited by people from 173 countries. I didn\u2019t even know there were that many. I thought the number was fewer than 120. But apparently not. <\/p>\n
Even still there are a number of countries on the map that still do not register visitors. There are at least a dozen countries in Africa who have not come my way. One in central Asia and North Korea. In some ways the North Korea is a surprise because I would have thought there were a lot of people doing searches for programming and computer science related stuff. On the other hand I know they have serious Internet censorship. But I get visits from Iran all the time. In fact I have visits from all the middle eastern countries. I\u2019m only missing one in Europe \u2013 Serbia. No one from Greenland \u2013 is there anyone in Greenland? Of course Greenland is technically part of Denmark so perhaps people from there are visiting and showing up under Denmark? Could be.<\/p>\n
Any way you look at it I am missing visits from about 18 countries. But I think population wise I\u2019ve hit a good part of the population. Not that it matters much in the grand scheme of things of course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
