SITE METER POOL

Kate has suggested that I start a pool for guessing when OTB will hit the quarter million mark in Site Meter unique visits. She’s down for “Saturday – between 8 and 9 am.”

Post your entries in the comments section of this post. They must be entered before the counter hits the 249,900 mark. In the event of a tie, the first entrant wins.

The winner will get some sort of official recognition commensurate with the effort required to perform the calculation.

Thanks. If InstaPundit links me, I'll hit the milestone within 40 minutes of the link; he's good for about 10,000 hits a day.

I'm having trouble not posting with trackbacks to add a couple links over here, hehe.....

Hmmmm. I could perform complicated calculations, or I could take a WAG. Guess which one I prefer?

Okay, my WAG is going to be @ 11:00 p.m. tonight.

My hoorednously complicated calculations indicate between 11:30 and 12:30 Saturday afternoon.

My horrendous spelling indicates I should proofread my comments before I hit "Post."

Counter was at 249,898 when my comment was made... That would likely make me the last guess.

249,946 at 4:28 a.m. Dang, missed out on that one. The sun will be coming up soon, so it will be time to retire to the coffin and wait until dark to venture forth once more.

Okay, fine, I guess my clock is a little fast.
