This site had 20,400 visits in October 2021 from 14,236 unique visitors. That’s 658 visits per day. Collectively, they downloaded 89,945 pages.
The list below is of document pages that were each viewed at least 100 times in the month. It’s a pleasingly odd list this month at its lower reaches for bringing in a few pages that have never made the cut before but which I’m now reminded that I’m very glad to have written.
Quite why a page on a set of bit flags in the structure that precedes a large class of kernel-mode objects got 145 visits may be a mystery forever, but what these bit flags tell of structures that may precede the structure that precedes an object is very much the sort of seemingly obscure detail that I have found useful to know for my own observations with a debugger. Whether I’ve ever got any practical benefit from my occasional exploration of CPU instructions and their use by Windows is doubtful, yet I keep revisiting.
Especially gratifying is the attention for my write-up of a long-running bug in Microsoft Outlook: read the page and you’ll understand soon enough how seriously pissed off I was—and, indeed, still am—with Microsoft for this.
Ranks in parentheses are from September 2021. 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 (TOC) to another. One of those index pages is just the skimpiest of placeholders, pending my writing an introduction, which I likely never will get round to. The TOCs are omitted entirely, as is the banner page, since none of these are meant to be seen independently of a document page.
