Congrats to the Brothers! I hope you have 6 more years!

(And then another 6, and so on.)

Grats for turning 6! I am checking out your blog regularly since I came out of my dark age 1 1/2 years ago, and it gave me a lot of inspiration for my own MOCs. Greetings from Austria! Keep up the great work!

Turns 6!

“…my god has it been that long. Things have certainly changed around here. I remember when this was all farmland as far as the eye could see. Old man Peabody, owned all of this. He had this crazy idea about breeding pine trees.”

for real, keep up the great work!

@Pelko – I just looked up our Norwegian statistics. Since TBB was founded we have had 86,705 visits from 619 cities. 23 of those were from Harstad. We’ve had 2 visits from Harstad this month, which is a lot if look at the last six years! :D

Svalbard is connected to Harstad, Norway via two subsea cables. I’m not sure why you cannot see them in the stats. Maybe you have a lot of views from Harstad? ;-)

The visits that I referred to might actually have been routed via satellite based internet (on ships).

Btw, here’s a classic space minifigure freezing his nonmatching helmet off near the Sveagruva mining outpost: http://i.imgur.com/t5Uo6.jpg

@Pelko – I was wondering if that was inaccurate. Doesn’t Svalbard’s internet access run out from Norway? Seems like I remember that from some reading I did. I’m no expert. But if that is the case, than Svalbard’s hits are probably buried in the hits from Norway. Although it surprises me a little, since our analytics show what cities/areas our hits come from.

Thanks for the appreciation!

I know for a fact that you had some visits from Svalbard :)

Anyway, thanks for the daily bricktertainment call center trainer, research physicist, lawyer, oil refinery operator, probation officer, medical student, and technical publications manager!

Congratulations to Andrew and all the Brothers (and Sister)! Can you believe we’ve all been at this for so long?

(Just a note, I can’t log in to leave a comment via Firefox and had to use IE. Are Andrews overlords at Microsoft responsible for this?)

Thank you so much for a wonderful read, every day! (Yeah, I’m a junkie!)

I suspect the drop in Japan’s ranking is due to the fact that I moved back to Australia. (Like I said… junkie!)
