I published my first blog post two years ago on the 27th
of February 2011 ... Since then I’ve:
- made some amazing puzzling friends all around the world
- had my mind well and truly blown at my first IPP
- hosted a couple of puzzle barbecues
- been to the Dutch Cube Day, twice
- been to 9 Midlands Puzzle Parties
- bought hundreds of puzzles (one day I’ll count them properly... but don’t ask what I’ve spent on them – I’m too scared to work it out!)
- published 237 blog posts – at just over two a week
- had over 100 000 page views on said blog
- and solved one or two puzzles along the way...
It’s been an absolute blast!
Thanks for all your comments, encouragement and advice – and
for indulging me while I selfishly write about the stuff that I enjoy...

Congratulations Allard :D
ReplyDeleteI hope the coming year will be filled with much of the same!! Keep it up ;)
Well done Allard! It's been a blast! I'm a little behind you in frequency and starting date but I do know how much I've spent and it scares the living daylights out of me! If you wish I could give you a blank copy of my database so you could find out!!
ReplyDeleteSee you at the next MPP!

Ha ha ha ha! Gil, you can't even begin to understand how much he's spent! I would just shoot him now before he spends any more!

Congratulations, Allard! Judging by your blog posts you have a wonderful collection. Like Kevin, I also keep a database of how much I've spent so far. I consider my collection to be my treasure, so I don't mind knowing how much I've spent growing it. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work ;-)
Congratulations! Keep on going! I always like to read your blog and like that it covers many different aspects (all in puzzle-land ;) ).
ReplyDeleteThanks to you all for the continued encouragement! :-) Hopefully I'll be here for a while to come, blogging away in the same vein... allard
