Still: http://getmetricmail.com - An easy way to receive Google Analytics reports.

How have I not heard about this?! Quick aside, how are you for scaling? If I were to roll this out across our agency and pass it on to my circle, you'd probably see a fairly sizeable jump in usage...

We currently have about 3000 users and process way more than 20000 reports every month. So this shouldn't be a problem, although it depends on the size of your network ;)

Let me know how you like it and if you have any suggestions.

Primarily awareness building and PR for my recently launched startup - http://www.happybuy.com/ One good lesson thats recently been reinforced as part of this is that launching is really only the start of the journey. Gaining traction and building a business once the product is available takes as much if not more work.

the http://www.fortiguard.com/ network protection we have here in work has flagged your site as porn wont let me in. just FYI.

Thank you for letting me know. I have requested that fortiguard correctly reclassify my site.

Aside from the boring things like taking a full course load, preparing for the ACM ICPC in November, being the ACM President, being the IT Chair of Phi Psi, and having a social life, I am co-teaching Northwestern's "Network Security and Penetration" course this quarter. The project which I'm leading a couple groups on will be a generalized web attack framework written in Python that will focus on identification of vulnerabilities, easy presentation and analysis, and exploitation.

I'm hoping it will also operate using the event-based Twisted framework instead of the standard multithreading network applications. https://bitbucket.org/agocke/attack.py

I'm working on a remote control for Google TV based on computer vision and gesture recognition.

This is my masters dissertation and I'm currently researching algorithms and techniques that enable real-time detection and tracking of hands or objects.

A prototype will be made for the Logitech revue if I succeed :)

Working on my startup project http://inspection2.com. This is my first project with Django and JQuery, so I'm mostly spending time learning things.

Two side projects, one that delays RSS feeds in your inbox until 5 PM - see http://rssafter5.appspot.com, and one that only sends your email every 4 hours, which isn't online yet, as well as prepping for the ACM ICPC, where I'm improving rapidly but still really far behind most other people.

Mostly doing client work but put up a personal site to summarise my side-projects and also built this one afternoon the other week: http://languagesplit.com/ Had never built a bookmarklet before and not sure if it's too embarrassingly basic to try and promote, or worth doing more with. Would appreciate any suggestions/feedback.

This is good. Can you make it configurable, so one may choose the language of translation?

Yeah, that wouldn't be too hard so I'll do that at some point.

Trying to think of how best to promote it. Maybe email a few language sites and see if it appeals to any? It's not the sort of thing that SEO will work that well for. ("learn spanish" etc would be incredibly competitive.)
