Piwik Web Analytics Is Great

Looking for a good open source Software Libre alternative to Google Analytics? I can't recommend Piwik highly enough.

Piwik graph example

  • Setup was easy - PHP & MySQL with a simple web based installer.
  • Basic mechanism is similar to G.A. - add a code snippet to the bottom of your HTML code and you are done.
  • Reporting seems more comprehensive than G.A. - all kinds of interesting data, visitor trails, etc.
  • Take back ownership of your stats data!

Have fun.

I Am Back

Calm down, Internet, I am back! My server had a small mishap.

My new hosting provider is much more reliable than my old one. Hooray!

My new one is called prgmr.com and they are great.

I have also taken the opportunity to redesign my website. I hope you like it.

WApp submission

Today I submitted this PocketLoops prototype app to the Univation WApp competition.

This builds on my PdDroidParty work, which is the engine of the app (as well as the impending CanOfBeats re-release!).

Fun mobile-music times. :)
