Spring downloaded a
web log analyzer program, since I have yet to actually install one
on the server (the people who have sites here either don't care for their
stats, or have enough technical savvy to scan the log files manually). So
she downloaded one, and it asked for the location of the log file.
“Oh,” I said, “you can FTP it down.”
“Then why all the fuss with F-Secure?” she asked. “I could have used NoteTab.”
A blank look crossed my face. “Um … ”
“Well?”
“Because … that's how I check my log files?” Grovelling I think saved
me from being thwacked up-side the head.
We downloaded the log file, then played around for about twenty minutes
configuring the program to process the log file. It wasn't clear what
needed to be set up, nor did the program really give any errors or
indications of what it might need. But eventually we got it going.
Impressive output; pie charts and all.
Not sure what it's called though.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
