    Looks like it's going to be a damp weekend here, and I'm going to be without a car on Saturday, so I may make a dent in the pile of postcards I've been buying!

    Just this week with postcards clearly sent at the same time and we hadn't corresponded before that. Very serendipitous! Came home from a week's vacation to your letter so a reply will soon be forthcoming. :-)

    The end of another letter filled month. Here is what I have been up to. To all those feeling the weight of your reply piles, I am now down to 62. I can almost see a five on the horizon (59 or 65, who can tell).





    This is a new one. I was watching my letter count go down and new I was still writing a lot.

    The only thing to keep in mind is that I don't count the words of letters I have received, till I have a reply written.

    For those worried I am spending too much time on stats and not enough on writing. I am a programmer and do a lot of this through custom code.

    None in today, which sucks since tomorrow is a holiday so hopefully Wednesday will bring me PLENTY of spoils. I'm all caught up too. Might have to start stalking the inco penpals thread to see who else wants an intro!

    Custom code, ffs. I sent two things out, unbidden. I just like sending correspondence to unwitting friends.

    Sorry about that. 16 bits of mail in and 21 out, containing 36,211 words.

    Just something simple to walk through a directory structure, opening and counting all the words in any text file it finds. Outputting another text file with the folder name (correspondents name), filename (date sent/received), and word counts. Then I drop it into an excel document with some formulas and filters.
    I have been resisting the urge to just build a little database already, but haven't yet.
