So, you think that Google Analytics is hot and cool?
So, have you had any visitors yet?
I haven’t.
But hey, what about those silly Web server logs that say that I have had many, many visitors?
We are the Google; your data cannot be tracked; therefore, it is irrelevant.
So far, I am not impressed.
And I am not alone. [here]

Just uploaded a bunch more pics to Flickr from this weekend.
Needed a break from writing a report and got these up.
Enjoy.

Google, if you are going to launch a Web service, better make sure it’s up and available for your customers so that they can evangelize it.
It may be good…when I can get to it.
Wish me a happy birthday, you forgetful louts! 😉
It’s 37 this year.
And while you’re at it, wish Charles Windsor a happy 57th.
MySQL 5.0 has a Blackhole Storage Engine. [here]
Cool. And if you make me grumpy, all of your performance data will be stored there! 🙂

If you are Canadian, you know what follows after those words.
My friend Kennedy writes to inform me that today is the thirtieth anniversary of the sinking of the S. S. Edmund Fitzgerald. [here]
30 years. Wow.
Ok, if there is an issue with GrabPERF or any of the other services on this server this weekend, it is unlikely that I will be able to fix it.
We are going to see friends in Maine, and we aren’t even sure if our mobile phones will work.
I will try and check mail once a day, but don’t expect long essays or grand thoughts this weekend.
I want one.

I hate Windows.
Linux Desktops make me nuts.
And Dell…don’t take me there.
Ubuntu, oh how I wish I understood you!
My understanding of why people prefer Windows and OSX is cemented. Evolution keeps crashing, and the wireless card, which worked perfectly at the office, can’t see my WRT54G.
Sorry Linux, until you can make it JUST FREAKING WORK, you are sent back to /dev/null.
I don’t have time to play; I have work to do.
Last night I made some code modifications to the Line Graph (“Basic Chart”) function in GrabPERF. Previously, the performance graph had been built using data gathered from the rollup table, hourly_site, except for the current hour, which was built from the raw data table, data.
Now, both the Availability and Performance graphs are built from the raw data table.
Also, I began using the Math/Stats PEAR package to calculate the statistical data from the results.
However, the most significant change is that the graph now displays Geometric Mean and 85th Percentile values for each hour. This will give a better sense of the “average” performance, as well as the degree to which there are outliers in the data.
Feedback is appreciated.
