OK, I don't recommend that anyone fly with me anytime soon because I am obviously cursed. Our flight (Jenny, Gae and I) was canceled this afternoon due to broken bathrooms on the plane we were supposed to take to Minneapolis. Of course there were no other planes available and after standing in a 2+ hour line I was shipped up to San Francisco to take a 6:30AM flight that will get me into MKE at 2PM Friday. Jenny was fortunate enough (I think) to get the last seat on a flight that would get her into MKE tonight at 11PM and I honestly lost track of when Gae was able to get out. It seemed to be dependent on who you talked to as to when and if you got out today or tomorrow.
Northwest Airlines - WORST AIRLINE EVER
There's always tomorrow for them to screw up too.
In conference news I attended a very good session on setting up what is called the WAM Filter that will hopefully, when I get around to setting it up, provide better statistics on database usage by off-campus users. Essentially, as WAM (Web Access Management) works right now when compiling stats it counts EVERY element on a page (images, forms, style sheets) as a unique "connect' making the stats much higher than they actually are. The WAM filer allows you to not count all the superfluous stuff leaving behind (hopefully) useful statistics.
The one (and only) advantage that statistics compiled on TOPCAT have over those that you can get directly from database vendors is that those on TOPCAT can be broken down by patron type.
I'm ready to say goodbye to California now. Wish me luck.

So sorry to hear you didn't arrive back until Friday. I didn't find myself back home again until 1am last night. What a day. For what it's worth Google Analytics provides a tracking script you can put into one or more web pages to receive site traffic reports (including pretty specific locations and times). Just an FYI.
