Raffy's World in Multiply.Com

.My readers may notice that I sometimes combine my blog entries in Raffy's World (Random Notes, Random Thoughts) with links to my site in Multiply (http://booleanlogic.multiply.com/).

Today (6/30/08) I searched for a lay-out that would match my underwater photo for my Multiply site. I found one -- the Tubbattaha Reef lay-out. So, now my site in Multply has a new look :) . Found in Palawan, Philippines the Tubbattaha Reef is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the Philippines.

Cheers,

RAFFY'S WORLD: 4,000 HITS

I started my RAFFY'S WORLD blog near the end of June 2007 (See http://raffysaldana.blogspot.com/2007/06/nth-attempt-at-blogging.html ).

.

On August 21, 2007 (the death anniversary of Philippine hero Ninoy Aquino) I installed a hit counter in my blog site.

.

Since then I take note of every thousand 'hits'.

.

Today (10/9/07), my RAFFY'S WORLD blog reached its 4,000th hit since August 21, 2007.

.

To document this moment I wrote a blog entry about it :)

.

Indeed, there is a joy in counting :) [BTW, the branch of mathematics that deals with counting is called 'combinatorics'. I teach combinatorics/discrete mathematics to computer science students at the Ateneo de Manila University.]

.

Ang babaw ng kaligayahan ko! (Literally: "My happiness is shallow"!)

Cheers,

P.S. I also installed today a 'countdown' meter. See bottom left portion of this blog site. :)
