Some Random Dude

With the second month out of the way for the new site, February had 45 comments which ended up totaling just $22.50. All $22.50 was donated to Carbonfund. With this month’s contribution, we offset roughly 6,000 miles driven from a car with the average miles per gallon (25.2 mpg) or roughly 2 tons of C02 according to Carbonfund’s calculator.

I am continuing to bull through fixes and features so we can get into beta as quickly as possible. The good news is, I am close. The bad news is, the list to get out of beta is very long. My hope is by early summer the site will hit 1.0. Until then, please keep commenting and I will keep donating.

It was another bitter-sweet month for this blog. March 2008 had the highest total of return visitors ever and RSS subscriptions are continuing to increase at a healthy rate. Still, March had only 22 comments which ended up totaling just $11.00. All $11.00 was donated to Carbonfund.

With this month’s contribution, we offset 5,680 miles driven from a car with the average miles per gallon (25.2 mpg) or roughly 2 tons of C02 according to Carbonfund’s calculator.

I have no doubt that these lack of comments have a lot to do with the fact that the format of posts has had a less open-ended format than usual. Unfortunately, this stems from a lack of time. Still, if you like this program, please let your friends about this feature. Hopefully we will hit something closer to $50 soon.

January 2008 was a great month for traffic, however the comments are not keeping up. January had 37 comments which ended up totaling $18.50. All $18.50 was donated to Carbonfund.

With this month’s contribution, we offset 9,554 miles driven from a car with the average miles per gallon (25.2 mpg) or 3.36 tons of C02 according to Carbonfund’s calculator. We still are far from the $50 limit, but eliminating close to 10,000 miles of driving is not too shabby.

I am definitely back into the swing of things and will continue to put out 3 posts a week. I am really trying to concentrate on one quality article each week which can be a challenge at times. Luckily, February has the potential to be open for some writing and finalizing of projects. Hopefully that will bring more comments…
