Google Analytics support doesn't care? · Friday October 2, 2009
A lot of people (me included) seem to be having problems changing their email address in Google Analytics account settings. It just seems that no one is there to help. Why? Where have all the support staff gone?
Here’s the thread at the support forum
Please somebody at Google, do something about this!

Please, update your browser · Sunday December 2, 2007
Browsing the web with an out-dated browser is not very wise. There are all sorts of security risks involved. Besides, it’s a pain in the ass for every web developer and designer to make websites work with old browsers.
Let’s take a look at Internet Explorer 6 for example. We’re talking about a browser that is not developed anymore, because Internet Explorer 7 has come to replace it. IE6 also has been quite insecure. Still it is very much in use today, as these statistics prove.
Some good signs are to be seen though, but you could hope a quicker development in moving out of IE6:
IE6 usage stats (from January to October 2007):
usage has decreased in nine months from 42.3% to 34.5%
[ Source: W3Schools Browser Statistics ]How long will it approximately take to get to zero per cent?
The answer: almost 40 months which equals approximately 3.3 years
Although it seems very unsafe to use IE6, I can see the reasons behind it. It all comes down to three things:
- people get used to using a particular program
- people might not know they are using an outdated browser
- all web applications might not yet work with other browsers (yes, it is the web developer’s fault for designing stuff for one browser only).
Also the new UI of IE7 might be a little bit too much for some. When I first saw it, I was amazed. How can they mess it up like that and think that people will learn to use it right away?
But luckily, you’ve got other options than the IE browser family. It seems that Firefox has become the most popular browser. And I must say that it is for a reason. For instance, it had tabbed browsing enabled for ages before IE7 was introduced. It doesn’t have as concerning security issues as IE, and those issues get fixed much faster. And you’ve got a helluva choice of add-ons.
In conclusion, if you are using IE6 (or some even older browser) I suggest you take a look at IE7 or Mozilla Firefox and switch to one of them (and you can install both of them, if you want to). And if you get interested about other browsers (yes, there are even more!) you can take a look at evolt.org Browser Archive. Who said you don’t have options?!?

You know what it's like when you can't wait for something... · Thursday March 1, 2007
The next Test Release (or final version) of PCLinuxOS 2007 will be released soon. It will be the main operating system I’m going to use on my home computer. So… why can’t it be here yet?!?
If you’re curious and want to know what I’m waiting for so eagerly, check out some screenshots or visit the forum or check out the Distrowatch PCLinuxOS page
I know you might like it too! :)

Windows XP Service Pack 3 - will we ever see it? · Tuesday February 6, 2007
Microsoft has done it again. You can easily see that they only care about themselves. According to Internetnews.com – Windows XP Service Pack 3 Pushed Back to 2008 Microsoft has pushed the release of Windows XP Service Pack 3 back to 2008. That’s just unbelievably disrespectful towards all XP users (and boy, aren’t there a few).
It’s easy to see why. They want to force people to upgrade to Vista as soon as possible. I just hope that not every company/person in the world is that easily fooled to update their systems. If I would have a chance to switch to something else, I would.
Not that this would mean a lot to me as a private person, but it does affect my work as a IT-designer lot. But then again, this might be a good opportunity to look away from M$ world and look for something else… wait, did I just see a penguin behind that corner?! Have to go check it out… ;)
