0
user@user-ubuntu:~/octopress$ ls source/_posts/2003* | wc -l
ls: Cannot access source/_posts/2003*: No such file or directory
0
user@user-ubuntu:~/octopress$ ls source/_posts/2002* | wc -l
ls: Cannot access source/_posts/2002*: No such file or directory

This gives me the overall sight of what I have posted during the past years. A more intuitive view created by using gem “googlechart“ to generate a bar chart:

require 'gchart'
Gchart.bar(:size => '400x300',
           :max_value => 200,
           :data => [1, 0, 0, 0, 5, 44, 39, 20, 16, 30, 96, 114],
           :axis_with_labels => 'x',
           :axis_labels => ['2001', '2002', '2003', '2004', '2005', '2006', '2007', '2008', '2009', '2010', '2011', '2012'])

Then you can get a bar chart like below:
