Today, this blog completes one month of its existence in this world. The achievements, although minuscule in comparison to all the biggies out there, are significant for me. It achieved the following things in just 30 days from the first post:

• Front-paged at LifeHacker, HacksZine, and many others.
• Over 10000 (Ten Thousand) “unique” human visitors.
• Over 30000 (Thirty Thousand) page views by humans.
• Over 500000 (Half Million) total hits for all website files included.
• Around 800 downloads of my projects.
• Makes it to the first page on google for many keywords (like wm6.1 htc wizard, ubuntu two soundcards, and many others)
• A google or yahoo search for my name “shantanu goel” now gives around 6–7 links about me (4–5 from this blog) out of the first 10 results. (This changes quite dynamically though)

But this is all because of you, the readers. Thanks a lot and keep coming. I hope I can continue writing stuff you like, because ultimately a blog is written for the people and not for search engines. Do visit my personal blog for my random non-tech thoughts.

Regards

Shantanu Goel

I’ve added a few new sections to the blog. Do check them out. Here is a list of the new sections along with their descriptions.

Projects: Although I wouldn’t put myself in the category of an excellent developer but I can sure type in a few lines that can compile without an error and also manage to carry out a task or two. So, this page will list some of those little things that I write to weed out a few niggles or scratch a few itches of mine. 

Downloads: This page will contain the various downloads that this blog offers for a convenient access.

Submit News/Articles: Like this blog? Have something to contribute? News/Views/Articles/Links that you would like us to share with the rest of the world, can be submitted using the form on this page. Due credit shall be given to you. Also, check the box at the end of the form, if you would like to be a part of the blog as a regular contributor.

Use the grey bar above or the list below to navigate amongst the projects. The list will grow as I put in some documentation around them. Don’t forget to let me know if you use them, doesn’t matter if you find them awesome or aweful :).
