Well, yes I am. It's a bank holiday. But I have not been wasting my time. I have been implementing behind-the-scenes stuff, which you will soon benefit from. Specifically, I have implemented a system that keeps track of the number of views that posts have had, and I'm letting it run for a while, so that a decent amount of data is generated. Soon, you'll be able to view posts in order of views and comments, as well as in chronological order. Inevitably, new posts during this period are going to have an unfair advantage (as everyone reads the new posts), which is why I got the system running as quickly as possible after the planning stage for the current set of updates was complete.

OK, I admit, the system took about 10 minutes to write. I have been busy fulfilling the requests of annoying people. In case anybody is curious, the view counting system started at 21:00 on the 31st of July. I would give preliminary statistics, but I haven't written any systems to analyse the data yet...
