Probably the most interesting part of web log statistics for my site is a page with keywords that people use in search engines to come to my pages. The most popular search is for information about C++ string streams. Ironically, this blog does not provide much help here, though I put some useful links on my front page.
Over the course of my career I bumped into many different technical problems. Often these problems required a lot of time or mental effort to investigate. Needless to say, web search engine made that task way easier, but sill there were problems I had to spend considerable time on. Once I had this blog I have started to put some results of my troubleshooting sessions, primarily as a sign of gratitude to all the people who do the same.
So, when I look at search term statistics, I am always glad to find that people came to the solution at my site, using search keywords describing their problems, like the problem of putting spaces to LD_PRELOAD environment variable or Coloured bash prompt screwing multiline input in a terminal.
Maybe separate articles or pages instead of blog entries is more appropriate for that kind of texts, but I am pretty happy with the present format now.
In near future I am going to post a couple of entries explaining problems related to GNU C library application binary interface (ABI) revisions and incompatibilities and problems with C++ language ABI.
