The list below is of document pages that were each viewed at least 100 times in the month. Ranks in parentheses are from January 2023. 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.
Some day I may discover what possibly can have brought 142 visits to one of these pages of statistics—and not just a recent one but specifically to one from nearly a year ago. It’s not even a page of statistics that prompted me to vent some thought about the industry. All that there is a list that’s so boring that even I couldn’t summon a comment to pass on it.
On the plus side this month is that a tabulation from the very end of last year gets its first peep above my arbitrary cut-off of 100 visits. This set of tables is another of my occasional attempts at collating information for users rather than programmers. True, advanced users, but nonetheless users. I as a user find myself looking at event logs. I as a consultant get asked by system administrators what events are available. This is not the level I work at, but I do welcome the insight into the practicalities of managing computers in real-world use. I’m not at all the right person to write this up and yet whenever a particular event provider comes to my attention often enough that I look on the Internet for a collation, I don't find one—at least, not one that gets anywhere near to relating events as logged to events as programmed. I end up not exactly proud of them but glad I wrote them—and glad to see that they get read. Of course, I don’t know how well these catalogues get read. Maybe they just turn up in Google searches, get clicked on, and are left immediately. Still, it pleases me to see this new one make the list unusually soon.
