2011 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 35,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 13 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

2010 in review

The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health:

Healthy blog!

The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads This blog is on fire!.

Crunchy numbers

Featured image

About 3 million people visit the Taj Mahal every year. This blog was viewed about 27,000 times in 2010. If it were the Taj Mahal, it would take about 3 days for that many people to see it.

In 2010, there were 83 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 109 posts. There were 152 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 9mb. That’s about 3 pictures per week.

The busiest day of the year was July 29th with 198 views. The most popular post that day was Forefront Endpoint Protection (FEP) 2010 Beta and FEP for Servers (FEP-S) CTP – Available on Connect.

Where did they come from?

The top referring sites in 2010 were google.com, en.wordpress.com, google.co.in, social.technet.microsoft.com, and google.com.au.

Some visitors came searching, mostly for component manifest was not found or it was invalid, sccm superflow, sccm superflows, could not connect or execute sql query, and sccm video.

These are the posts and pages that got the most views in 2010.

TechNet Webcast: How Microsoft IT Deployed Exchange 2010 on Premises (Level 300)

Tuesday, May 11, 2010 9:30 AM Pacific Time (US & Canada)

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 introduces numerous advances in performance, scalability, and reliability, while lowering the total cost of ownership. In this Webcast, we discuss the Exchange Server 2010 deployment within Microsoft IT. The session includes descriptions of the Exchange Server 2010 roles, design criteria, hardware choices, and operational changes.

Presenter: Luisa Garcia Zapata, Microsoft IT Service Manager, Microsoft Corporation

Luisa Garcia Zapata is originally from Mexico and graduated from ITESM University as an Information Systems Engineer. Luisa joined Microsoft a few years ago and is currently a service manager in the Business Online Services Group. This group is responsible for running Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 internally and also for multiple enterprise customers. Luisa is responsible for the end-to-end e-mail experience for all Microsoft employees worldwide. This includes overseeing e-mail availability and multiple aspects of the service, such as support, total cost of ownership (TCO), feature deployments, and end-user education. A recent project was the full migration of Exchange Server 2007 to Exchange Server 2010. In this effort, "dogfooding" played a critical role in shipping a high-quality product to Microsoft customers.
