Starting in 2005 I added an RSS feed which has grown to almost 2 million pageviews a year. Thus I include pageview stats both with and without the rss page. Total bytes jumped in 2008; I think that is because npdict.txt (1.4MB) became popular.

Bytes transferred are in KB (1,024 bytes), MB (1,048,576 bytes) and GB (1,073,741,824 bytes).

Session lengths are in minutes:seconds; total session time is given in minutes and years. I didn't have session time logs before 2002.

Photo Logs

Starting in 2010 I'm keeping track of logs of photos, on a separate page.
