' Tis lub caij… yuav tsis mus saib cov websites

Here’s an interesting tidbit from the life of a web developer.

You’d think that people would go on the internet with that shiny new phone/tablet/toaster they got for the holiday season.

Apparently, no one does that. Here’s a look at my latest hits (not the band type, I mean the number of visitors to hathix.com):

As the festive spirit goes up, visits to websites go down.

From what I’ve seen, this seems to be the case with pretty much every website and app: visits or downloads sharply decrease during holiday season. For what it’s worth, things return right back to normal once the new year begins.

Happy thawj lub xyoos, hathix.com! Xyoo rov los saib dua

Tshuab tawm cov taws tswm ciab, xa ua hathix.com 1 year old!

Can you believe it? hathix.com is turning 1 year old- yup, it was registered exactly a year ago todayah, fond memories! In just a year, hathix.com has gone from just a thought in my head to a full-fledged (and hopefully good) lub website.

You know, it’s hard for me to imagine life before I had hathixbut that was just a year ago. My parents say they felt the same; it’s hard for them to imagine life before kids. Anyway.
