Most Viewed in August 2009

No pages at an obscure technical site are ever really hot, but increasingly many attract more than 100 views per month. I am astonished that any pages at this site get looked at even once a day.

This site had 96,244 visits in August 2009, from 78,309 unique visitors.

There follows a list of pages that were each viewed at least 250 times in August 2009. The faded titles are just index pages which I presume are viewed only or mainly on the way to others, especially while moving from one Table of Contents to another. Two of these index pages are just the skimpiest of placeholders, pending my writing an introduction. The rank in brackets is from the previous month.
