Jimmy Carter Liked our Movie

Wow... I didn't actually witness this statement, but Patagonia has finally picked up "Drawing the Line", our film about the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and as a result, somewhere along the line, Jimmy Carter watched it and procralimed it "...a good film!". Clearly the narration has something to do with it.

BUG REPORT: Google Analytics Fights with Original Urchin

urchin_stats.jpg

This is rather odd. I've been using Urchin on one of my client sites for a while now, and it's been pretty good. As an experiment, I installed Google Analytics on the site last Thursday afternoon. The Google Analytics stats were a little buggy (something about not being able to "confirm" the presense of the tracking code) but they seemd to be pullling accurate numbers when I graphed them (similar to the ~20-25k visits a day that the site gets). But, when I went into Urchin to compare the results I was rather dismayed to see my traffic was not being counted at all! Except for a strange 150-odd people that somehow got tracked. So I killed Google Analytics on Monday, and Urchin instantly sprang back to life.

Anyway - there's clearly a problem with installing Google Analytics when you're already using Urchin, but I can't see any good reason why this should be the case... can you? I'm debating leaving Urchin on as-is, or killing it and going solely with Google Analytics, but I probably won't do anything until the bugs get worked out.

Please don't send me text messages...

Public service message... I rarely get text messages. My phone stinks. One day I'll get a new one, but for now PLEASE don't send me text messages. When I do get them, I have to guess who they're from because the phone only gives me your number, not a name. Just now I happend to manually look at my messages and there were 5 from last week...lost in time. Thank you for your support.
