February 5, 2010 - Postcard from Namibia

For years, I've been using StatCounter on this blog.  (see: http://www.sqablogs.com/jstrazzere/832/A+New+Tool+for+Your+Website+or+Blog+-+StatCounter.html)

Over time, I had seen hits from many, many different countries.  In the past year or so, I had not gotten a hit from a new country.  I thought perhaps the list was complete, and there would be no more.

Until yesterday. 

Yesterday, I got my first hit from Windhoek, Namibia.

I knew Namibia was in Africa, but I knew little else.  So I did a bit of research:

• It is officially known as The Republic of Namibia
• It's in Southern Africa, bordered by the country of South Africa to the south and east
• It gained independence from South Africa in 1990
• The official language is English
• Windhoek is the capital, and largest city
• It has a population of about 2.1 million people

And, apparently one person from Namibia wanted to read something about "formal testing".

Welcome, new friend from Namibia!  I hope you were able to find the information you were seeking.
