Month: September 2003

  • Up

    —

    The numbers are still going up on this site, and I’ve added an average of about 200 daily visitors this month. I found this out while checking out the stats for the first time this month, and got surprised to see that I was already getting ready to pass my bandwidth usage quota. I’m presently…

  • Rain

This was shown at the onedotzero_nippon festival last year (it was even the subject of one of my first posts on this site), and although I couldn’t see it then, I’ve been patiently waiting for a chance…
