Simon Phipps's personal commentary

More than the grains of sand

Just like those crowd estimates at protest rallies, I always have my doubts when I see large numbers cited for things - who has the time to count them? So Martin Hardee's confession about Sun.Com is cool:

Confession... we're not sure exactly how many pages there are on the sun.com sites.  We think it's something like 2.5 million... the search crawler indexes almost 2 million, and we figure we're missing a half million or more that just get skipped, or are password protected, or entitled, or whatever.

Martin's article contains some great pointers, take a look escpecially at the history of look and feel at java.sun.com.
