I migrated my blog from the Google App Engine + webapp framework to Django on my Linode. Getting my data out was a complete ball ache, but I managed it.
I enjoy altering the backend of this site and looking at statistics more than I enjoy posting to it, which is probably not a good place to be.
Webalizer
I went old school and decided that some log analysis was in order for my Linode to see what it was actually doing... because apart from massive 100mb nginx server logs I have no idea where traffic hits and where it comes from.At this point I should probably explain that this server serves numerous redirects for failed/moved archived "projects", most notably ending up at generate.alanedwardes.com which serves things like last.fm listening totals and recently listened to tracks for the masses such as the below:
So anyway, I installed Webalizer. It's awesome. I ran it, it managed to analyse my massive log files in seconds. So I set it to run every hour using crontab: webalizer.alanedwardes.com
So that's fun :)
