The documentation is somewhat incomplete on how to force Google Analytics to use SSL when working with the ga.js tracker (using asynchronous syntax). When using analytics.js, a simple call to set forceSSL is sufficient.
The correct syntax is
_gaq.push(['_gat._forceSSL']);
One thing humans don't know how to do is shut down peer to peer networks. We don't have the technology.
My friend and very talented artist Ben Genislaw has finally released the multiple-award winning animation short "Happily Ever After: A Journey to the future of a young couple moving in together for the first time". It's happy, sad, depressing, inspiring and above all, amazingly done. Enjoy!
I was looking for a special little something to give Orly on our 1st anniversary, and a friend suggested I'd get someone on fiverr to sing her a song.
I really liked the idea, and it even took less than 24 hours. Thank you Mou Trego from Cook Islands for singing us a happy anniversary song with your ukulele at the beach!
The payment to fiverr is done via PayPal today. I think it's very important that they start supporting Bitcoin. It would lower commissions significantly, and allow people who don't have access to the banking system to participate as service providers as well.
I love love love the Google+ automatic photo combiner and GIF maker (GIF or JIF?). It even managed to automatically tag this photo with #BlackCat.
However, when I tell people about it, they say "but who the hell uses Google+?". I say, let them stay where they are, for now. There are awesome people on Google+, my feed there is much more interesting, and I feel like I'm using the word Awesome too much already.
Mt. Gox today announced that "a couple of months ago [they] took a big step and bought a full page ad for Bitcoin right in the middle of the G8 Research Group's official magazine". The ad shows a caricature of foreign diplomats, wearing their national currency symbol instead of a head, sitting at a table and discussing important issues. Abruptly, a new member, Bitcoin, opens the door and walks inside. A QR code (made of little coins, see below) leads to a special landing page explaining the benefits of Bitcoin (and Mt. Gox).
