The New Google Analytics Interface

Seriously, am I the only one that thinks this interface just blows?  I had to go to the help file just to figure out how to get rid of a property that I no longer want to track.  It’s honestly given me a headache.  Perhaps the eggheads up at Google think this is just the […]

Seriously, am I the only one that thinks this interface just blows?  I had to go to the help file just to figure out how to get rid of a property that I no longer want to track.  It’s honestly given me a headache.  Perhaps the eggheads up at Google think this is just the sh*t, but for someone that just needs quick reliable information without having to use a cheat sheet every time I want to do something, this is NOT the sh*t. So...

Block Facebook Chat

I hate Facebook’s “Oooh, isn’t this GREAT! Look what WE can do!” implied breathless excitement over implementing all sorts of new features.

Most of my customers don’t get bothered with this because we normally do...

This article came to me from one of my favorite companies – OpenDNS – and definitely bears reposting. I see this stuff SOOOO frequently and I seem to be getting these little random postings with great regularity.

Viruses on the loose

There is always some new virus coming out to find your computer. Very troubling is that a LOT of them seem to be coming from Facebook…

LW was called on Tuesday about a client computer that looked like it was about to get hit with the Antivirus 2009 bug. The user had seen it before and had a strong feeling that it was the same one that nearly wiped out her home computer.  Oddly, she doesn’t visit much of anyplace at work – except Facebook. It turned out NOT be the actual Antivirus 2009 bug, but she had shut her computer down immediately before the machine...
