What started off as a test installation of Movable Type has turned into a ten-year-old site. To mark the tenth anniversary of jpreardon.com, here are the 10 most popular posts:
- Wacky Weather Widget
- Skype on Mac with Jawbone Headset
- Google Analytics Mobile Tracking With Rails
- AJAX drag and drop on Rails
- NYC to Montreal and Back (in Four Parts)
- Automatically Refill Your Metrocard
- Motorcycle Parking at NYC Muni-Meters
- ActiveRecord Tutorial
- EasyPay Metrocard Update
- IA/UX Stencils, Templates and Patterns
I’m not sure why a random post about a weather widget is so damn popular. It continues to be one of the most visited pages on this site. Although, in the last six months or so, it is has been been knocked out of the top spot by more informative posts such as Temperature Logging with Twine and ThingSpeak and Pomodoro Timer.
I missed the 20th anniversary of this site by a couple days (it was on the 7th). Ten years ago, I marked the occasion by listing the most popular posts.
Homebrew Yaesu FT-857D Soundcard Cable
Bose 901 Equalizer Repair
A Dashing Dashboard with Raspberry Pi
PSK31 with an FT-857D and a Mac
More PSK31
NYC to Montreal and Back (in Four Parts)
Motorcycle Parking at NYC Muni-Meters
Pomodoro Timer
Temperature Logging with Twine and ThingSpeak
DIY Air Variable Capacitor
The only post that appears on both lists is about the motorcycle trip to Montreal. I’m always surprised with the number of people interested in making a soundcard cable or repair a Bose 901 EQ. By the way, PDF schematic diagram for that EQ is not represented on this list, but is probably viewed more than any of these other pages.
