I have written a short novel's worth of content for my blog

How much content have I written for my blog? Let’s find out.
My blog runs on Typo, which is built upon Ruby on Rails. Let’s fire up the Rails console and gather a quick word count:
$ cd ~/blog
$ ruby script/console
Loading development environment.
>> require 'article'
=> true
>> Article.find(:all).inject(0) { |sum,a| sum +=
(a.body + a.extended.to_s).split(/\s+/).length }
=> 66665So I have written about 66 kilo-words, which is entering novel territory. Paperback-wise, it’s about 190 pages.
All I need now is a villain and some cool cover art.
;-)
I think the LectroTest robot could fill both the cover art AND the villain needs :-)
That’s a great point, Chris. I’m also in favor of that robot.
