Coincidentally, this is the 3000th post on this blog.
Actually, you have 1877 entries on this blog.
To clarify: The current entry's postid is 3000, but it doesn't mean you have 3000 entries on this blog. It includes entries you have deleted or entries on the other blogs.
OK... so I've written 3000 blog posts in my moblog/jp blog/en blog if you include the ones that I've deleted. Picky picky...
Hehehe. Do you also want to include the repetitive blog entries that go like "See ya and thanks for all the fish" every time you leave a country (which as everyone knows is pretty often)?
;)
also don't forget the Wikimedia newsletter, Quarto. Now it's available in English, French and Japanese (part). Quarto in English
