Google Analytics – update

Lots of people commenting that Google Analytics is suffering under the load. My data is pretty slow coming in.

Tecosystems, Tim Bray and a few more.

Even Google acknowledges the additional load:

Update: 11:28 AM PST. Wednesday, November 16th, 2005

Currently, report updating for Google Analytics is experiencing delays. As a result, you may not be seeing any data in your reports even after implementing the Analytics tracking code.

We are currently in the process of updating all reports. You should be able to see these updates in several hours. While this is going on, you may notice different reports updating at different rates. Once this process has completed, all data should be restored to your profiles. Please be assured that this update process has no effect on data collection.

We apologize for any inconvenience. This reporting delay is associated with unexpected demand for Google Analytics. Under normal circumstances, the data in your reports will be at most six hours old.

IBM Redbook – Linux File and Print

A great read from IBM – the Redbook on File and Print services on Linux.

The focus is heavily on NT4 replacement – but there are some good notes and worked examples of Windows 200x and Active Directory migration.

One area that would be interesting (for Novell customers) is replacing the LDAP components of this Redbook with eDirectory; for more comprehensive management of this space Novell Open Enterprise Server would also be a great choice.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is live – that’s been blogged elsewhere.

I’m used to trawling my Apache logs and building my own reports on visitors; this takes away the pain and delivers some seriously heavyweight features.

Best of all – the service is free (as in beer). I am impressed with how Google have used the technology from their acquisition of urchin.
