I signed up for google analytics, just curious about what kind of information they collect. To track pages I had to insert some javasript calls back to google in the pages I want to track.

There’s a lot of pages on my site that haven’t been touched in years. I feel a small internal hesitation when I fire up emacs to change something that hasn’t been changed in several years. Kind of like when I used to buy records just because I felt like I should be able to say I have that record, instead of asking myself whether I really needed or wanted it.
Anyway, within 2 hours of enabling google-analytics I had the following picture of people accessing my site:
