Mathemagenic, posts per month vs. life

Number of blog posts I wrote per month with some events that I think had an influence:

- Little palm trees represent summer holidays (not necessary in some tropical location :). Winter holidays are not that obvious, but usually there is a drop in January (not in December, since Russian Christmas/NY holidays are 1-10 January and I tend to synchronise those with my family and friends in Russia).

- Fire represents period of my weblog server being offline for 2 weeks after the fire that damaged the network at University of Twente (I lived on campus then and my weblog was running on my home machine).

- "Relation" and "baby" - since I've got other things to do in my free time instead of blogging. My maternity leave in Jan-Apr 2007 is clearly visible.

- "Project management" and "Microsoft": not that important by themselves, but more as an indicator of my stress levels. In that period I was juggling coordination of an EU project, 10 weeks internship in US and personal uncertainties that came from the perspective of not returning to Russia as I had always planned. Also, after not being able to cope with RSS overload in that period, my blog reading habits never recovered.
