I wrote on [Brian Desmond's](http://weblogs.asp.net/BDesmond/posts/26929.aspx) blog about how good a C# (open source of course!) statistics system would be...this got me thinking - it wouldn't be that hard to write one based on an HttpHandler. I don't really want to log accesses to graphics etc...and if I did, I can just 'wildcard map' to the aspnet filter... A nice simple Asynchronous write to a Sql Server DB (avoiding the overhead of parsing log files) should do the job...hmm...interesting! Oh,and of course there's lote of free components for doing charts in .NET - this suddenly looks very possible :-)

UPDATE: Of course my post times are also wrong...hmm...
