Well, after nearly six months straight of daily posts (a quick run through the sidebar calendar shows Aug 30/06 was the last day I missed!), the streak ended yesterday. (There was also a missing date on December 24 but I know I posted that day – not sure why it doesn't show up on the calendar though.)
When I did my blog survey, I was surprised that nearly 2/3 of respondents said it was important that I post daily. But at the same time, I'm glad that the streak broke finally – with a baby coming and possibly a job soon too, the odds of a daily post streak continuing are slight anyhow.
I was home just after midnight and could've done a “well, it's technically the same day since I haven't been to sleep yet” justification. I've done that a couple times int he past when I posted after midnight but “adjusted” the time stamp so it would appear in the proper calendar day to keep the streak going. But as I said, nice that the pressure (such as it was) to keep the streak going is gone.
So yeah, expect about seventeen posts in the next 24-hour time frame..
