Wow, another year has passed. Summing up some things I did this year.<\/p>\n

Commits<\/h2>\n

I don’t really have good global commit count for the year, but github counts 1300 commits and I believe the vast majority of my commits are hosted there. Most of them in curl and curl-oriented projects.<\/p>\n

We did 8 curl releases during the year featuring a total of 575 bug fixes. The almost 1,200 commits were authored by 107 different individuals.<\/p>\n

Books<\/h2>\n

I continued working on http2 explained<\/a> during the year, and after having changed to markdown format it is now available in more languages than ever thanks to our awesome translators!<\/p>\n

I started my second book project in the fall of 2015, using the working title everything curl<\/a>, which is a much larger book effort than the HTTP\/2 book and after having just passed 23,500 words that create over 110 pages in the PDF version, almost half of the planned sections are still left to write…<\/p>\n

Twitter<\/h2>\n

I almost doubled my number of twitter followers during this year, now at 2,850<\/strong><\/a> something. While this is a pointless number, reaching out slightly further does have the advantage that I get better responses and that makes me appreciate and get more out of twitter.<\/p>\n

Stackoverflow<\/h2>\n

I’ve continued to respond to questions<\/a> there, and my total count is now at 550 answers, out of which I wrote about 80 this year. The top scored answer I wrote during 2015 is for a question that isn’t phrased like one: Apache and HTTP2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Keyboard use<\/h2>\n

I’ve pressed a bit over 6.4 million keys<\/strong> on my primary keyboard during the year, and 10.7%<\/strong> of the keys were pressed on weekends.<\/p>\n

During the 2900+<\/strong> hours when at least one key press were registered, I averaged on 2206<\/strong> key presses per hour.<\/p>\n

The most excessive key banging hour of the year started\u00a0 September 21 at 14:00 and ended with me reaching 10,875<\/strong> key presses.<\/p>\n

The most excessive day was June 9, during which I pushed 63,757<\/strong> keys.<\/p>\n

Talks<\/h2>\n

This is all the 16 opportunities where I’ve talked in front of an audience during 2015. As you will see, the list of topics were fairly limited…<\/p>\n
