In November I was a lazy blogger - so it wasn't the "best month ever". It was still twice as good, as last year. December and January are looking great again - so good, that I had to optimize the stats process.

I didn't posted a lot in April and May because of the "Real World Java EE Patterns" book. These months are not as good as June. I will post the result in the next meta-post. However July seems to explode (around 9k visits a day) - will have to tweak the page a bit.
