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.

I was sent a link to a great new blog – MSIwisdom.
There are some great resources, hints and tips on this site – obviously focused on Windows application deployment using MSI packages.
Very useful for ZENworks Desktop Management.

I installed a new subscription/mail plugin for WordPress – subscribe2.
So far it’s working nicely.

I am working with my colleague, long-time friend and collaborator Ted Haeger (Reverend Ted) to get some of my content hosted and posted on a Novell community wiki.
Specifically I’ve got two pet projects:
– ZENworks 7 Linux Management how to/lab guide
– ZENworks 7 Desktop Management how to/lab guide
This will be cool to open up to the wider community. Watch this space.

I blogged earlier on some configuration options for ZENworks 7 Linux Management.
This described using ZLM7 to mirror content from update.novell.com.
ZLM7 can also bring content from a SUSE YaST Online Update (YOU) repository. YOU can be used to update SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9.
Read the earlier post on some tips to get your ZLM7 mirroring configured correctly.

Up in Salt Lake City all week for the Novell Global Sales kickoff.
I’ve got part of a keynote tomorrow – as well as a great opportunity to network with new people and meet old friends.

Urg. For some reason my blog server date was wrong. Even though it’s running an ntp client that sync every four hours.
Most of the posts from the last few days have been a day early (if that makes any sense) – it looks like I’ve been posting a day in the future 🙂
All fixed now.
