Why is Althouse blogging at 5 a.m.?

It's a day about 5.



I'm waiting for my 5 millionth visitor today.

Damn! I'm only visitor number 4,997,746.

5 million!

Damn. Just 4,999,564.
I never won those radio call-in shows, either.

This is a neat piece of artwork, BTW. Had you seen this before and thought of it as 5 million approached or did you go looking for something appropriate?

5,000,007. Who's the lucky 5,000,000th?

I was just creating a blogroll link to Ann's site.

Found it a couple of days ago.

I am probably in the running for the 5 millionth link...

I had to keep viewing it to format my link list - I have been accused of pyramid worship or something. So, I have been making changes on my silly little blog (looking up at 5,000 visitors) and viewing Ann's site for the past 5 - 10 minutes...

Hope springs eternal!!!

Theo: One of quxxo's many personalities, no doubt ;-)

It was this one. Somebody in LA who came in from Instapundit to the Newsweek Kos thing at 10:56.

And Site Meter won't count you if you keep coming back. You have to be gone -- I don't know -- at least half an hour for it to see you as a new visitor.

As the captain said in the movie Midway:

Gosh Darm It!!!

Close, but no cigar...

But then again, I wasn't actually aware of the mini-contest... Just found the blog via: "If any of us blog on this right now, we fuel the story. Let's starve it of oxygen." - either through an InstaLaunch or the Anchoress. Had to comment on that fiasco, talked about her cat, wanted a cat blog posting (got it, a cutie), and then looked at some fine architecture...

So I wanted to link in my BlogRoll...

Dang Site Meter - I probably would have had it without the repeat thang... Looks like I was the 4,999,996th visitor :-{

Many happy returns!

Do you think these million milestones will ever get ho-hum?

Loved that painting as a child. Thanks for bringing back the memory.

Tim Dexter म्हणाले...

Heck...I'd be happy for 5,000! Or 500, he said sheepishly. Congratulations!

Internet Ronin: It's a famous painting I've seen many times.

DRJ म्हणाले...

I don't doubt your comment but I'm trying to understand how sitemeter works. If the LA visitor was #5,000,000 then why does the link show this?

"Visit Number 5,004,002"

DRJ म्हणाले...

Maybe it keeps counting and I was #5,004,0002?

DJR: I guess it wasn't a stable link. I originallyy had the 5 millionth there, with the characteristics I stated. I guess you can't permalink into Site Meter.
