This post is actu­ally some­thing I meant to say last week, but forgot.

So I’ll say it now: Load­ing JavaScript on a promi­nent page that builds a link to a non-existent resource is a BadThing. Think ridicu­lous num­bers of 404 errors and partially-defeated sta­tis­tics track­ing! Hav­ing said that, I man­aged to man­ual work out JS/no-JS sup­port to be even lower than it is on this site — it’s 1.5% non-JS here — which is impres­sively (pleas­ingly) low!

AWstats is fun to run on many-gigabyte log­files… just not mul­ti­ple times once you’ve realised “Oh, I screwed up and no amount of grep­ping can save me now!” (First time I’ve absolutely required my dual-boot Ubuntu/XP install at work… because it’s lots eas­ier to watch load on a com­puter you’re phys­i­cally on rather than by SSH, and because multiple-GB-logfiles aren’t fun to trans­fer across networks!)
