Hit counter statistics...


I have almost 50 hits to today. This is about a week into the time that this has been up. It looks like if I don't post, I don't get the hits. That's totally understandable. What I find interesting (and it only shows me the top, not what percentage that top is, and what the second from the top is, etcetera) is that Microsoft is the top browser and top OS. With Internet Exploder 6.x and Windoze XP respectively. I try to avoid both of these products myself, and highly recomend that people use alternatives if possible. All of my clients are using something different, the most mainstream one is using Windoze 2000 Proffesional, and Mozilla Firefox, and Thunderbird. I have a like for Firefox and Thunderbird. I also use Opera for some things, but have grown to like the Mozilla products, thus prefer them for my own use.

With the way that this web counter is showing up, I'm thinking maybe I want to see if I can create my own web counter that maintains all of the statistics I would like. The exact count of number of pages etcetera. I think I can do this. It will take some time. The basic text counter will work fairly quickly. The graphical components it will take me some time to work on. Very important components to my portfolio I think.

I think I may start working on this. I can think of a few ways that I can do it. The most exciting to me is to try to do it within PHP. But, um, I don't know PHP. So I'll try to do it in Perl I think, and maybe later do things in PHP as I learn that language.
