Minty fresh goodness

Excuse me while I geek out for a moment, but I'm compelled to share the Mint love. Like most bloggers I've used a (free!) stat-counter for years A) to see what kind of traffic my sites generated, B) to see how people are getting around, and C) so the psycho-stalker types and I could share conversations on a more 1-to-1 level.

Because, ya'know, I'm just that kind of gal.

When Shaun Inman released his own stat-collector called Mint I must confess I was ready to purchase in those first few hours (alright fine, I wanted to love on its prettiness, okay? sue me...). But then I dug a little deeper and found the software actually lacked a few of the key tools necessary for my sanity... like, uh, the psycho-stalker live-chat plugin. A girl's gotta have her priorities in check, yo! To make a long story short I passed on the software but kept it in my sights (again, sooooo so pretty) so that maybe one day it would be mine. Turns out there's a fair number of decent plugins, peppers, as it were, now available and whispering sweet nothings to my dear, sweet, naive little sopheava. Last week I finally put down the money, installed the software, sprinkled in some peppers, had a glass of wine, and whoala! Mint and I are now in love and we might be getting serious (we're thinking of having kittens! ... okay fine, *I'm* thinking of having kittens...)

Ah yes dear, sweet Mint. You now make my life brilliantly complete.

I feel like a shady spokesperson now, but seriously... $30 bucks, a few peppers later, and I promise you'll wonder how you lived without its beautiful, shiny green stat-collecting goodness.

This is all.
