Help Center: Supporting Google Analytics.
How long does it take to see report data after adding the tracking code?
After you first install the tracking code, it may take several hours for report data to appear in your account. Google Analytics generally updates your reports every hour, but data can take up to 6 hours to appear in your account.
Here.

It’s now over 24 hours, and no data.
For a company that prides itself on its massive data infrastructure and processing capabilities, the influx of millions of users trying a new service should not be an issue…right?
Maybe they need to follow up with some of their colleagues at the NSA and borrow one their supercomputers. The data is eventually going to end up there anyway.

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 57^th.

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.
