Notes

* Net change doesn't take into account cash and savings. Net worth does.
* based on an assumed average of 1.5 units per serving. Recomended maximum intake: 21 units/week.
* based on which animal the main meat constituent (of a meal) came from.
* no, I don't know which publications precisely.
* 'friends' here defined as a mutual follow. Though I would consider most of them friends, to varying degrees.


You can compare these numbers with those from August 31st here.

Further stats on individual websites below. Due to various reasons there are limits on what data I actually have. So it's worth pointing out that following websites only cover the last -% of the year,

Daytum - 80%
FourSquare - 74%
Twitter (Twoolr) - 66%

Though the interesting thing about Twitter is that while the data I've got only covers 40% of my total time on Twitter, it covers 81% of my total tweets!

Secondly, some of the details (datum in particular) is loose estimates - things are measured in 'serving' and imprecisely at that. FourSquare only logs places where I can and have checked-in - people's houses, or places not on FourSquare aren't logged.

There are also things I didn't/couldn't track, which I might consider in future. For example local trains and buses I don't get tickets for because I travel for free. DVDs, I can remember which I've bought this year, and films I can't remember precisely what I've seen. Cash transactions I didn't track. And so on.

The question is ultimately whether I care enough about having the record to bother to put in the extra effort. That remains to be seen. It's a very fine balance between detail and sanity.
