Comments

By clock on August 22, 2008.

This blog is slowly approaching a nice round number - 10,000 comments. I know this is not Pharyngula where this would take an hour or two to fill, but still, we can get the remaining 200+ comments in over the next few days, can't we?

The person who posts the 10,000th non-spam comment will get a prize - something (your choice exactly what) from the A Blog Around The Clock store.

On the Comments Problem
So I've been offline a lot the last few weeks - as you know we had 10 kids in our house for a couple of days the week before Thanksgiving, and I was out of town until yesterday. While a few posts have gone up, I've spent absolutely no time on anything other than absolute necessities online. So…
A Year In Review - A Blog Around The Clock 2008
New Year's Day, a time to reminisce about the past year, perhaps to analyze its ups and downs, and in the blogosphere: to link to one's "Best of" posts for all of those who missed them. I posted 2960 posts so far this year - with six days to go I may reach 3000. It is not easy sifting through all…

Casual Fridays: Does it pay to think before blogging?
You might have thought we'd have a new study for you to participate in this week. You're half right. If you've read CogDaily, Terra Sigillata, Uncertain Principles, or Chaotic Utopia in the past two weeks, you've actually been participating in today's non-scientific study. ScienceBloggers have a…

Consider this my small contribution to the cause! (Unfortunately, I don't have anything insightful to say.)

so what is 10,000 in binary? does 10,000 really matter?

Glad to help, I think I'll take the clock. I guess with 200+ to go I guess I'll just have to keep using the sun.

BTW 10,000 dec ... 2710 hex ... 10 0111 0001 0000 bin

I can't use fancy algorithms like Seed, but I can see the comment counter. I delete spam pretty quickly. I'll make sure I am not the one posting the 10,000th comment and the winner gets a prize from my cafepress store of his/her choice.
