The homepage for statcounter seems to be loading just fine, but the login is not working. Perhaps this has to do with their new beta version of the site going live? In any case, it is annoying. Statcounter seems to have been down for about 3 hours now.
Statcounter has now posted a message:
The site is currently offline and will be back shortly. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. -The StatCounter Team.
If you’re looking for the undo command for Godfinger, and can’t find it in the menus, unfortunately that’s because it does not exist.
There are some things you can un-do, like floods – by using the sun miracle to try up the water. But there is not an actual undo command.
McDonalds has a new interactive online ad, seen often in the early morning hours on CNN.com: This is pretty much the funnies online advertisement ever.
Note: You will need to disable ad-blocker to see the interactive version.
Stack Overflow is currently offline for maintenance
Routine maintenance usually takes less than an hour. If this turns into an extended outage, we will post details on the blog.
Does Verizon Wireless’ Rule the Air Logo remind you of anything?
That’s funny, it reminds me of the old Comedy Central logo.
In your mf.cnf file:
[mysqld] default-character-set = utf8 collation-server = utf8_unicode_ci init-connect='SET NAMES utf8' character-set-server = utf8 #try uncommenting these if you have problems #skip-character-set-client-handshake #character_set_client=utf8 #character_set_server=utf8 [mysql] default-character-set=utf8 [client] default-character-set=utf8
And I have this in my confg.inc.php file for phpMyAdmin:
$cfg['DefaultLang'] = 'en-utf-8'; $cfg['DefaultCharset'] = 'utf_8'; $cfg['DefaultConnectionCollation'] = 'utf8_general_ci'; $cfg['Lang'] = 'en-utf-8';
To verify, run this command:
show variables like "%character%";show variables like "%collation%"; collation_connection latin1_swedish_ci collation_database utf8_unicode_ci collation_server utf8_unicode_ci
It does not really matter what the collation_connection shows up as. This has no bearing on how the mysql commands are run. If it is not utf8 that is fine.
Tip: Just make sure that your DATABASE’s coalitions are also set to utf8 (utf8_general_ci), in phpMyAdmin – then tables you create inside the database will have that coallation too.

Google Analytics Benchmarking Newsletter |
 |
1. IntroductionWelcome to the first volume of the Analytics Benchmarking Newsletter! This month, we are replacing the standard “benchmarking” report in your Google Analytics account with data shared in this newsletter. We are using this newsletter as an experiment to surface more useful or interesting data to Analytics users. Data contained here comes from all websites which have opted-in anonymous data sharing with Google Analytics. Only those website administrators which have enabled this anonymous data sharing will receive this “benchmarking” newsletter. You may be wondering, how many websites are in this “anonymous data sharing” pool? Currently, hundreds of thousands, and we’ve endeavored to make all of the metrics here statistically significant. The date range of comparison for this newsletter is from November 1, 2010 – February 1, 2011. Comparison is done with data from November 1, 2009 – February 1, 2010. Absolute metrics such as total # visits, pageviews, or conversions for all opted-in websites are not reported. To simplify the prose, the phrase “websites” will represent “websites which have opted into anonymous data sharing with Google Analytics” for the rest of this newsletter. 2. Site MetricsCompared to a year ago, websites have seen reduced pages / visit, average time on site, as well as bounce rate.
2.1 Breakdown by GeographyOur anonymous database has aggregated geographic breakdown at the country level. Here are a few representative countries and their respective aggregate metrics. The first number in each cell represents the metric for the date range 11/1/10-2/1/11. The parenthesized number is the Year over Year delta compared to a year ago.
For bounce rate, the distribution by country is plotted below:  The distribution above is annotated with some countries — which seem to indicate a story of leisure and stage of economic development. For a related metric: average time on site, the distribution by country is plotted below:  The type of countries annotated in the average time on site graph above seem to be in reverse order as those in the bounce rate distribution. 2.2 Breakdown by Traffic SourcesTraffic sources below are identified by how the “source” and “medium””” parameters are received by the Google Analytics collecting servers. Here is an article describing what these designations refer to.
2.4 Conversion Rate DistributionMany marketers’ favorite metric is conversion rate. Here is the worldwide distribution of Google Analytics “goal conversion rate” by country.  Would anyone have guessed that states which are known for conversions are also high for their citizens’ goal conversion rate? Note that for some states with few population, the statistical significance of the conversion metric comes into doubt. 3. Traffic SourcesTraffic sources below are identified by how the “source” and “medium” parameters are received by the Google Analytics collecting servers. Here is an article describing what these designations refer to.
4. Operating SystemsBrowsers and Operation Systems (OS) are identified by the “referrer” string sent by users’ browsers.
5. CommentsThis is the first volume of our Analytics Benchmarking Newsletter. We hope that it provides useful insights. If you have specific comments or suggestions on how to improve this newsletter, please send your feedback to: [email protected]. Happy analyzing, |

You may have noticed while using the WordPress Members plugin a certain disclaimer:
Any changes you make to users and roles using this feature are permanent changes. What I mean by this is that if you deactivate or uninstall this plugin, the changes won’t revert to their previous state. This plugin merely provides a user interface for you to make changes directly to your WordPress database. Please use this feature wisely.
There is in fact a fairly comprehensive guide that comes with the plugin, but it does not talk about how to revert changes. Well, after a little digging I’ve realized that the plugin mainly edits a database entry called “wp_user_roles.” I did a fresh install of WordPress 3.1RC2 and grabbed the value of that database entry, which is serialized. The result was this:
a:5:{s:13:"administrator";a:2:{s:4:"name";s:13:"Administrator";s:12:"capabilities";a:62:{s:13:"switch_themes";b:1;s:11:"edit_themes";b:1;s:16:"activate_plugins";b:1;s:12:"edit_plugins";b:1;s:10:"edit_users";b:1;s:10:"edit_files";b:1;s:14:"manage_options";b:1;s:17:"moderate_comments";b:1;s:17:"manage_categories";b:1;s:12:"manage_links";b:1;s:12:"upload_files";b:1;s:6:"import";b:1;s:15:"unfiltered_html";b:1;s:10:"edit_posts";b:1;s:17:"edit_others_posts";b:1;s:20:"edit_published_posts";b:1;s:13:"publish_posts";b:1;s:10:"edit_pages";b:1;s:4:"read";b:1;s:8:"level_10";b:1;s:7:"level_9";b:1;s:7:"level_8";b:1;s:7:"level_7";b:1;s:7:"level_6";b:1;s:7:"level_5";b:1;s:7:"level_4";b:1;s:7:"level_3";b:1;s:7:"level_2";b:1;s:7:"level_1";b:1;s:7:"level_0";b:1;s:17:"edit_others_pages";b:1;s:20:"edit_published_pages";b:1;s:13:"publish_pages";b:1;s:12:"delete_pages";b:1;s:19:"delete_others_pages";b:1;s:22:"delete_published_pages";b:1;s:12:"delete_posts";b:1;s:19:"delete_others_posts";b:1;s:22:"delete_published_posts";b:1;s:20:"delete_private_posts";b:1;s:18:"edit_private_posts";b:1;s:18:"read_private_posts";b:1;s:20:"delete_private_pages";b:1;s:18:"edit_private_pages";b:1;s:18:"read_private_pages";b:1;s:12:"delete_users";b:1;s:12:"create_users";b:1;s:17:"unfiltered_upload";b:1;s:14:"edit_dashboard";b:1;s:14:"update_plugins";b:1;s:14:"delete_plugins";b:1;s:15:"install_plugins";b:1;s:13:"update_themes";b:1;s:14:"install_themes";b:1;s:11:"update_core";b:1;s:10:"list_users";b:1;s:12:"remove_users";b:1;s:9:"add_users";b:1;s:13:"promote_users";b:1;s:18:"edit_theme_options";b:1;s:13:"delete_themes";b:1;s:6:"export";b:1;}}s:6:"editor";a:2:{s:4:"name";s:6:"Editor";s:12:"capabilities";a:34:{s:17:"moderate_comments";b:1;s:17:"manage_categories";b:1;s:12:"manage_links";b:1;s:12:"upload_files";b:1;s:15:"unfiltered_html";b:1;s:10:"edit_posts";b:1;s:17:"edit_others_posts";b:1;s:20:"edit_published_posts";b:1;s:13:"publish_posts";b:1;s:10:"edit_pages";b:1;s:4:"read";b:1;s:7:"level_7";b:1;s:7:"level_6";b:1;s:7:"level_5";b:1;s:7:"level_4";b:1;s:7:"level_3";b:1;s:7:"level_2";b:1;s:7:"level_1";b:1;s:7:"level_0";b:1;s:17:"edit_others_pages";b:1;s:20:"edit_published_pages";b:1;s:13:"publish_pages";b:1;s:12:"delete_pages";b:1;s:19:"delete_others_pages";b:1;s:22:"delete_published_pages";b:1;s:12:"delete_posts";b:1;s:19:"delete_others_posts";b:1;s:22:"delete_published_posts";b:1;s:20:"delete_private_posts";b:1;s:18:"edit_private_posts";b:1;s:18:"read_private_posts";b:1;s:20:"delete_private_pages";b:1;s:18:"edit_private_pages";b:1;s:18:"read_private_pages";b:1;}}s:6:"author";a:2:{s:4:"name";s:6:"Author";s:12:"capabilities";a:10:{s:12:"upload_files";b:1;s:10:"edit_posts";b:1;s:20:"edit_published_posts";b:1;s:13:"publish_posts";b:1;s:4:"read";b:1;s:7:"level_2";b:1;s:7:"level_1";b:1;s:7:"level_0";b:1;s:12:"delete_posts";b:1;s:22:"delete_published_posts";b:1;}}s:11:"contributor";a:2:{s:4:"name";s:11:"Contributor";s:12:"capabilities";a:5:{s:10:"edit_posts";b:1;s:4:"read";b:1;s:7:"level_1";b:1;s:7:"level_0";b:1;s:12:"delete_posts";b:1;}}s:10:"subscriber";a:2:{s:4:"name";s:10:"Subscriber";s:12:"capabilities";a:2:{s:4:"read";b:1;s:7:"level_0";b:1;}}}
Or via a textarea element:
You can deactivate the plugin, backup your database, and tren try changing the wp_user_roles value of the wp_options table back to said value.
