Got this from Google Analytics today: Hello Google Analytics User, This is a quick update to address some issues you may be seeing in your Google Analytics account and what we’re doing to respond.

This one’s for you Manu
Was it four or five years ago now? I was watching the Argentinian team in the World Basketball Championships, and this particular spitfire caught my eye in an otherwise boring game. He was wiry, around 6″4 or so, had long curly hair like the European soccer stars, and was an absolute whirlwind on the court.…

Posted a weird permalinks error on WP forums..
Just posted on wordpress support forums. When I create a htaccess file using options/permalinks, a message says the htaccess file is not writable, so I have to cut and paste the code, save it as a file and upload. I do that by saving it as a.htaccess as a text file, upload, rename to .htaccess,…

Everything I wanted to know about podcasts (but didn’t care to find out until now)
My client m|ph’s editors went and made their first podcasts, so I went and fixed up the blog to get it ready, and finally did what I had been dreading for awhile to do – update from Wordpress 1.2 to 1.5 while using a highly customized template. I would normally not worry about it, except…

Google Bombing Knocks Arroyo Out Of Office! – not
So the Young Radicals blog managed to get Google to display Arroyo’s website whenever someone enters the keywords “pekeng pangulo”. Whoopee. Of course, that would be terrific if people would enter the term “pekeng pangulo” now wouldn’t it? Come on guys. Please. Let’s go for “liar”, “cheat”, “impostor”, “defrauder” maybe. But “pekeng pangulo”? Surely, surely…

Analytics Shmanalytics? – A Review of Google Analytics
It’s slow. Molasses on a winter day slow, and while that’s ok sometimes, it’s surely not up to par for anything that comes out of Google’s labs. They need to fix that up plain and simple, which is probably why today, the ability to add sites to filter isn’t available:

Sony BMG’s rootkit for November Boner of the Month!
(I’m starting a new category “Boner Of The Month”, to list down those wonderfully unique incidents in the tech world that you juuust can’t put into words – without thinking of the word ‘boner’ that is. My first one should’ve been the recent Microsoft Windows update that crashed PCs and opened them up to viruses,…

Use.Firefox.Or.Else.
I’m not completely sure of what to make of the Explorer Destroyer movement, apparently a (over?)zealous groups of firefox user’s attempt to get people to switch from IE, making (good?) use as well of Google’s offer of $100.00 for every referral to Firefox.

Gadgets Galore
Me and Digital Exchange finally got our collective acts together to have all the gadgets I’m supposed to review over the following weeks delivered in one go. Not an easy task granted time and distance (they’re in Makati and I’m in Antipolo), the reported difficulty in dealing with the stores involved, occasional deadline issues and…
