My Year in Numbers
Here are some statistics for the year 2010 relating to me. Probably not that interesting, but here you go.
My primary domain is lyonanderson.com. Most of my correspondence is via this account. I don’t include my work email here. At work we recently moved to Lotus Notes so I suppose I no longer send email at work; we’ve to call them ‘notes’ instead. I don’t have any stats for that. I would imagine given the complexity of reading emails notes with Lotus Notes getting statistics would almost be impossible.
Sent ~1400 messages (lyonanderson.com)
Received ~6000 messages (lyonanderson.com)
(The lower graph includes previous years, but I thought it was interesting to see how my email traffic is increasing year on year).
SMS Usage
So I’ve sent and received what I think is quite a large number of text messages. However, speaking to the yoof I had to revise this opinion. Kiddies today send this kind of traffic on a daily basis.
Sent: 3140 messages (35505 words)
Received: 2965 message (42670 words)
Note I include ‘x’ as a word. It’s pronounced Kiss or Kiss Kiss. A kiss at the end of a SMS can make all the difference. Especially when sending SMSs to your boss.
Without giving too much away, the following two graphics depict the kinds of words I send in my SMS messages. I have not included ‘x’ in these pictures as no one wants to see a giant picture of an ‘x’.
Prominent words in outgoing SMS messages:
Prominent words in incoming SMS messages:
I posted 1021 twitter status updates. I would have done a graphic for this too, but everyone seems to be doing that.
Evernote
I like Evernote a lot. I throw all kinds of stuff in there. From receipts, instructions manuals and menus, to my personal diary entries (more on that later).
Notes create: 384
Foursqaure
I’ve not been using this as much as I wanted to. I think if more friends used it I would use it more. Still I like the idea and I think it’s going to go places in 2011.
Checkins: 223
Running
The most physical of the numbers in this list. I’ve really got into running this year. I love it. It does not love me. My knees have been quite bad recently so I’ve had to cut down lots. I use the Nike+ system to monitor my runs.
932.67 miles made of 146 runs.
The graph below shows how the runs were spread out over 2010. I went a bit crazy in the summer.
Music
I use Spotify for music. It’s worth £10 a month to have access to all that music. I use the iPhone client the most. I have all my Spotify clients scrobble to last.fm. Unfortunately, there is a big gap in the data for the beginning of the year. Sorry.
Tracks listened to: 8580
The graph below shows how the listening is spread out over the year. I’m not sure what the big spike is. I’ll look into that and get back to you.
Stackoverflow.com reputation
2010 saw me join stackoverflow.com. I like the site and had been using it as a spectator for a while. I decided to give something back by depositing my pearls of wisdom. As you can see from the graph I kind of got a little bored. I promise to be more active this year.
Web Search
Google can keep track of the web searches that you do. It’s quite scary, but looking back at the data can be interesting. I don’t have the tracking on all the machines I use for search, but the graphs below show the lion’s share.
AppStore

Diary Entries
I use evernote to keep a basic kind of diary. I have made 26 entries this year. Again, I could do with doing more this year.
