An unbelievable milestone!

Just a minute ago, while checking my widgets for new comments, I was shocked to realised that touchtheSky has (sometime recently) hit one million downloads.

That's a big number. In fact, that's just plain ridiculous - but I love it!

Thanks to everyone who's supported and motivated me - I've learned a lot of good stuff, and developed a lot of useful tools for myself in the process. The comments and good wishes I get in the comment threads are overwhelming.

Currently, I'm recording about 12,000 visits per day from the widget checking home for updates - so that's probably roughly the number of people using it on a daily basis. That's phenomenal, and it's even more amazing that my little ADSL-connected server is still standing. Huzzah for asynchronous requests!

Thanks to every one of you - and I hope I can use what I've learned to make more and better things!
