Ego is simple app for iPhone/iPod touch that displays many stats in one simple view. Ego supports couple of web stats systems. Google analytics is maybe the most popular stats tracking tool, so it is included. But Ego also supports Squarespace, Mint, Google pagerank, Feedburner and Twitter.

Configuring application is fast and simple. Application is mostly just beautiful list of all the stats. If you have multitiple websites, Ego is perfect way to check all the sites once.

I would like to have some more stats, like graphs and pie charts, but still this application is worth of the 1.5€

If you are addicted to stats I recommend to try this app.

To see this app in action, go to Ego app’s homepage. There is nice video of the app.

I just published new layout for main site: www.pelikoira.net

I build it with awesome css framework called 960 grid system. If you code websites I recommend to try 960 gs, because it makes developing lots of easier and faster.

This site also contains my first JQuery effect that I have used. It is simple “tab” system on project page that allows to change project without reloading page. It also makes it easier to me to control the site, because now it has only 3 files. If every project is on it’s own file, I would have something like 10 .php files. Yes, I don’t have any cms system, because I don’t need them. If I need to change something I take ssh connection and modify files remotely with vim.

I build this site on Debian system with Konsole -> Bash -> Vim system.

And of course all the code (xhtml/css/rss/js) is valid.

I can’t understand why I haven’t wrote anything about woopra. O_O I have used it for about 6 monts and I love it. It is simply the best web analytics system ever created. And as it is still beta, it is totally free to use! Only problem is that creation of new account is just little slow… I had to wait for one week to get my account.

Woopra works just like any other analytics system. You get piece of html/javascript code that you add to your site. Then it starts to track your stats. But the best feature about woopra is that it shows everything in realtime! You can see when visitors comes to your site, what they are doing and so on. It is also possible to start chat with visitor.

Woopra looks nice when your site gets nice hit from digg/stumbleupon/<insert cool site here> and many visitors comes to your site.

If you have a website, you MUST try Woopra!

Woopra showing stats on my blog when I got small amount of visitors from stumbleupon.

Today, about 2 hours ago. Domain started to point my new host. I got some problems with wp, because paths on new host was different, so there was a 2 hour down-time. (but I think it is not a big thing on this blog)

As I first copied all of my wp stuff to new host and recreated db, it didn’t work. Solution was very simple.

1. Install wp to new host
2. Drop every table on new database
3. Upload database dump with data you want
4. Upload theme- and plugin-files
5. It works!

And as I haven’t blogged for 2 weeks I probably blog much more as normally for some time. Actually, it was pretty annoying when I wasn’t able to blog anything.

My current hosting provider “edullinenwebhotelli” (EWH)(finnish provider) have been very cheap, but still very usable service. But now it looks like my previous host, futuron, now owns EWH. I really liked the ewh service, but now I can’t thrust that futuron won’t ruin my site again.

The problem here is that futurons servers are horrible. Customer service is slow and the servers are awful. And now my site is moving to futuron…

I am not sure what to do. I may move to new webhosting service, move to new virtual server or just stop this website.

I don’t want to be again on futuron’s servers.
