Number of blog entries I've made (and kept) before this one: 481.
Number of bytes of boilerplate JavaScript in each one: 2097.
What that last number turns into when a klutz tries to type it in: 2079.
Number of bytes I thought I'd save on my hard drive by putting the JavaScript in an external file: 481 × 2079, or 999999.
Number of calculations I had to do in the command-line calculator bc to convince myself that my computer wasn't giving me weird numbers like 999999 just to fuck with me: 2.
Mood after realizing that I had typed the wrong number, and that, moreover, I hadn't taken into account having to add some text to each file to include the newly excised JavaScript: crestfallen.
Likelihood of decreasing my hard disk usage by exactly 999999 bytes with this conversion: next to nothing.
