- I'm writing my thesis in LaTeX using MikTeX under Windows XP. Page count is sometimes in single-spaced pages, and sometimes in in double-spaced pages. By the end everything was double-spaced.
- The initial jump in pages at day 1 is misleading. Most of the content there was simply an import of the University's LaTeX template for theses.
- Page count based on the total pages in the PDF version of my thesis.
- Word count based on Translators Abacus originally, and then later Any Count.
- The large jumps at the end are due to incorporating large sections that had been stored elsewhere (e.g., papers, methods) and also from switching to single to double spacing.
- The plateau in the middle was not part of the original plan.
