At the company I work for I manage a knowledge base that we populate useful tips and solutions that can be used to assist our customers so they don't have to call us. One of the things that I have had trouble with is tracking which KB articles are the most popular which could indicate an issue with a product of ours. So I sought out to find some type of service that would track site usage. The two prominent ones seem to be StatCounter and Google Analytics.
I have to say that I was impressed with the installation of both services as each one only took 2 or 3 minutes to complete. Walk through the wizard and it spits out code that you put on your site. I have to admit that it took longer to find the right file on my site to place the code than it did to generate it. Within minutes I knew one was a lot better than the other. StatCounter started to spit out useful data, which kb article was the most visited, where the requests were coming from and it was almost updated in real time. However, Google Analytics took about a day to spit out data. On top of that delay, the data was very lacking. In one day, StatCounter said I had 102 unique hits vs 4 unique hits that Google tracked.
I think it is clear which one I will be using.... I like the instant updates and the clear interface...

I'm still laughing at this one.
This is why we become parents. Days like today. Milestones. It has been a long time coming, but my oldest started school today. The thought of him growing up didn't really enter into my head, but being a proud parent did. Sure there were some moments where he was nervous right before he walked into his class, but the little champ came through his first day with shining colors. I just want to say that I am very proud of you, my little man. I love you. Dad.
A
peace has come across me as God has told me that he will be there for
me. He will take care of me and my kids. As sad as this situation is, I
do believe the future is bright. Short term pain, long term gain.
the nightmare that won't end. I cannot seem to wake up. Resolution or
Dissolution is now the key phrase. How I never anticipated this in all
of my life. Please God, please show me the way.
As I enter into this new phase of my life, the waters are untested and
I really don't know what to expect right now. However I do know the
following:
1) God is with me and will take care of me through this trial
2) I have an incredible support system in place. Every member of my direct and extended family is behind me. All my friends are rallying behind me. Knowing this, has really given me the peace and calm mindset that I need right now.
3) In the end, I will be a better person where I am stronger, confident and molded into a more Godly man.
Thank you for all your prayers. I love you guys.

While life seems a like it is in a free-for-all downward spiral, I have
come to the conclusion that I have some amazing friends. The level of
backing from all corners of this state, Colorado and Texas are
INCREDIBLE. The love is genuine and they share my desire for my 1
priority.
Thank you all. You know exactly who you are.

You're joking right?
My buddy Mike posted this and if you really read it and think about it, they are true words to live by.
