Unlike last time it didn’t work, Google.com now tried to suggest the right URL for me, which was nice. It looks like Google has recently added a better 404 handler. It only seems to work for google.com not google.com.au (I didn’t try other local versions). Here are some examples. Translation - com | local Shopping - com | local Crap Code - com | local (is google really claiming that they have no crap code?Google Analyticshttps://www.davehall.com.au/blog/2007/05/11/google-analytics/Fri, 11 May 2007 00:00:00 +0000https://www.davehall.com.au/blog/2007/05/11/google-analytics/As some of you may have noticed I use Google Analytics on my site for statistics. I also use webalizer for basic visitor stats. I have found Google Analytics provides more information in a better format than webalizer. The downsides of Google Analytics is that it is non free SaaS, it uses flash and that it lacks the ability to drill down to get more information. As of today, the flash problem is still there (I am yet to test it with gnash), but the amount of information and how that data is displayed has improved dramatically.The Summer of Code Roller Coasterhttps://www.davehall.com.au/blog/2007/04/12/summer-code-roller-coaster/Thu, 12 Apr 2007 00:00:00 +0000https://www.davehall.com.au/blog/2007/04/12/summer-code-roller-coaster/I am awaiting final confirmation from google and the GNU project, but I am 99% sure now that phpGroupWare will be getting a Summer of Code (SoC) slot, and I will be mentoring a student to implement sync. What a process it has been, and I am yet to start mentoring. I thought others might be interested in the the ups and downs involved in getting phpGroupWare a SoC place.
