Google Disaster Strikes

I logged into Google and updated my email address and went through the confirmation process. All seemed fine and dandy and like any other contact information change I have ever done until [queue ominous music]I logged back in and it was like my analytics account had never existed! It’s not the worst thing in the world since I really didn’t have much to look at but still a little disappointing. Nevertheless, I move on and try to create a new analytics account as requested and at the very end I get an error message saying my account already had analytics service!?! But I have no way of accessing it. So of course that merited a support request and I’m waiting on the issue to be resolved.

On a pleasant note though, this presented the perfect excuse for me to try another analytics program that I have been eying for awhile now: Mint. What attracted me the most to this product was the clean design which I am a big fan. I’ll write up a review later today after I’ve played around with it a little.

What’s in a name?

Over the weekend I became obsessed about my domain name. I just did not like the way Jon’s Bin rolled off the‚ tongue so I started thinking about new names. Once I started I could not stop until I could find something that was at least marginally better. After many revelations followed by‚ disappointment (darn domain squatters) I finally settled on a new name: Jon’s View. I feel that this name better explains what this website will become. So hence forth, you shall now know this site as jonsview.com. I’ll be moving everything over as soon as the DNS propagates and since I’ll be getting my hands dirty I’ll also upgrade to Wordpress 2.3.2 which was released just a few hours ago to fix some fairly significant security issues. So, if the site goes down for awhile, my bad!

I’ll see you on the other side!
