Four Years
It has been four years since I started blogging. In that time, there have been a total of 916 posts and 5,527 comments on this weblog.
There have been many changes over the duration of this blog. My writing frequency is much less nowadays. The topics I post on are also different. This blog has become a lot more personal blog rather than a political one, though that might change as the midterm elections draw near. I still blog about politics, religion and current events but I don’t feel the urgency to post as soon as some news breaks. In some ways, I have also seceded from the blogosphere since I don’t read as many blogs as I used to nor do I link to or respond to a lot of the blog-chatter.
Because of the lack of urgency in posting about current events as well as the lack of free time from other activities, I have a few dozen unfinished draft entries some of which have no relevance any more. Who knows I might still post them in the near future.
According to Google Analytics, I got 22,462 visits and 38,195 page views in the last month. Overall in the 4 years, I am nearing a million page views.

Happy 4th anniversary of your blog, son. May you and your fmily remain healthy and prosperous. I am late but you know the reason.

=) A bit late on the well wishes, but so glad you’re still around and blogging, Zack! Sporadically, yes, but hey, that’s better than giving it up all together. I hope you’ll stick around, real life demands notwithstanding.
PS: Thanks for the heads-up re. Google Analytics. Hadn’t know about it before.

Note: Disagreements are welcome, but please keep it civil. Any comments full of hatred, bigotry, trolling or spam will be deleted and the commenter banned. Do read the commenting policy.
Valid XHTML: You have to preview your comment to make sure that it is valid XHTML 1.1. You will see the "Post" button on the preview page.
Urdu: To comment in Urdu, include "p[ur](urdu). " (with a space at the end and without the quotes) at the start of every Urdu paragraph. If you want to write an Urdu word(s) in an English paragraph, do it like this: %[ur](urdu)اردو%. If you want to put an English word(s) in an Urdu paragraph, write it like this: %[en](en)English words%.
PGP Signing: PGP-signed comments are encouraged. However, clearsigning Urdu text with GPGshell produces garbage.
MathML: Select the Textile with itex to MathML text filter. What you'll use is itex, which is a superset of WebTeX and differs somewhat from standard LaTeX.
Text Filters: For regular comments, whether in English or Urdu, keep the text filter setting to its default of Textile 2. Change it to Textile with itex to MathML when writing MathML.
Congratulations on four years of blogging! I remember coming across your blog not so long after I started my own. It’s been a long time!
