So far, so great!

Next Friday marks my one year anniversary as an employee of Emirates, and to be precise, 10 months and 13 days since the very first entry of The Jube Eye (known then as The Adventures of Daniel in DXB.) My first foray into blogdom was entitled "My first blog entry! Let's see if there'll be a second..." - well we are now up to 92 posts and counting! In May I installed the SiteMetre on to the blog to track progress (these figures are skewed by randoms stumbling on to the site and when I work on the blog myself) but they give a general idea of how many of my esteemed peoples are checking it out. See graph below:

We are now close to 1500 readers and 3000 page views in 8 months and even if the real figure is half that, it is very gratifying indeed.

I have BIG plans for a best of 2006 post in the next couple of days, a New York wrap-up from my Christmas Day trip, and then I'm home for a few days over New Year.

A very Merry Christmas whether you're with family or friends in Australia, alone in Dubai trying to get through a bottle or two of red, or on a layover with a less-than-impressive crew - and every best wish for success, happiness, and good health in 2007.

Daniel, on behalf of The Jube Eye

Why aren't the sods leaving witty ot otherwise comments then? This is voyeurism of the second worst kind on their parts and it leaves me feeling sick, Sick, SICK!
Oh well Merry Christmas
