Yesterday's "techblog wrapped" stats:
* at most 2360 real requests from people-ish things for regular pages.
* 12350 legitimate, proper requests for syndication feeds.
* estimated 1000 good requests from assorted good web crawlers (none of which are for syndication feeds).
* 450 requests from my own status checks.
* 43412 requests total.

I guess 37% at most traffic that I actually want isn't terrible in today's day and age. It could be worse.
