Today, I am celebrating my three years of blogging :-)
It all started on 16 March 2004 when I announced the creation of my blog powered at that time by Movabletype.
Since then a lot of things has happened. I’ve written 276 posts and received 1,367 comments. Thanks to all who have contributed to the discussions! Since then I have moved to WordPress which is a much better blogging software.
I like to reread some of the things I have written because they are not that bad… Here are some of my posts which have generated a lot of passion:
- there-is-no-1gb-limit-on-myt-now (201 comments)
- what-about-using-french-or-creole-for-teaching (28 comments)
- announcing-the-cse-programming-contest (27 comments)
- wanadoo-livebox-to-be-launched-in-mauritius (27 comments)
- programming-at-google-and-in-class (26 comments)
- what-does-it-mean-to-be-mauritian (23 comments)
- kids-are-less-intelligent-now (21 comments)
- the-d-programming-language (21 comments)
- livebox-wi-fi-kubuntu-linux-amd64-bliss (20 comments)
Have fun (re)reading them ;-)

Ketwaroo D. Yaasir says
nice. I’ve been blogging for about…. less than a month and have a whopping 0 comments to the counter. Most of my views are from a yahoo feed seeker bot.
nicely done sir, you’re quite advanced for a 3 year old
avinash says
And to top it up I’ve just been appointed Lecturer at the university on a permanent basis (I was only on contract) :-)
Yashvin says

Btw i still remember that you promised a fiesta on your 500th post so
(276 down and 224 to go ) :)
curiousEngine says
Happy birthday!!!!
Congrats also for your new appointment.
Keep up the good work.
I got the opportunity to discover loads of new things from your blog and those links found in the pages.
Lots of wishes and compliments to you sir.
Long live the Computer Scientists community, Long live Avinash Meetoo: Blog!! :)
Khalil A. says
Happy b’day!
avinash says
Thanks!
Yes, I’ll definitely organise a mega party for the 500th post! And, I’m still thinking of moving everything to wordpress.com because of the social network features which exist there…
Hans says
Happy Birthday to you and your blog :) wish you lots of visitors and enjoyment with lots of good experience……
what’s your secret to keep blogging for all these years? :) since many have just give up this blogging but you seem to be fluent with it……
avinash says
My secret?
I suppose I like to tell people things that I know. That’s why I am a lecturer incidentally. And I’m lucky to like something that many of people like. It would have been tough blogging on, say, “les chevaliers de l’an mil du Lac de Paladru”… (who know’s this reference?)
Splash says
Happy Birthday blogging attitude
congrats for being a lecturer on permanent basis…
thought u already were no more on contract since long…
avinash says
I’ll take that as a compliment :-)

Ketwaroo D. Yaasir says
you gotta hate the way wordpress parses the text for comments…
too bad you don’t have any plugin that allows visitors to edit their comments before they get approved…
each time i need to type < i heed to type <
so i meant by 3 peaks:
* March 2007
* February 2007
* January 2007
* December 2006
* November 2006
* October 2006 <–Peak3

* September 2004

3 peaks = years.
well actually, it’s 3 through because you started in March…
*could you edit the previous comment/merge those two together before you approve one?
avinash says
Yaasir, what do you mean by peaks?
Ketwaroo D. Yaasir says
the archives menu on the right.. looks like it’s undulating.
and if you join March 2006 to March 2007 in a circular fashion, you get 3 complete “wavelengths”
…
never mind. I think too much.
avinash says
Now I understand!
But it’s true that you think too much :-)
