Trying to figure out what google analytics is all about



It is late in the night and I had a bit of a holiday. Went to Auckland to see my family and meet some friends and just get away from all those phones that keep ringing haha. I got back and logged into my account. I am running an ad campaign on google adwords trying to figure out what it all means. I haven't really read the whole how to stuff they send me but I'm pretty sure I got much of it right. I own a few domains so I run google analytics on them and using my free credit, courtesy of google :) I was able to get traffic to my website using tiny little clicky things. Adwords seem a little confusing but I think I get how it works. Just need to keep messing with it.

I locked up the office and was skipping down the road in Oriental Bay listening to : Lady Gaga...hmm catchy stuff..she is a freak and you can expect nothing short of crazy when you see this crazy blonde.

WoW! you can play PACMAN on Google! :)

I woke up this morning...did my readings then opened up my google chrome and there it was!!
Click in the middle and you can actually play PACMAN! :D


It has been a crazy week for me. I have discovered the politics of people....while I try to remain ever so neutral as is my stand and my mindset. Many people are either for or against a cause/person/belief/idea and I find that it is all a little too much drain on my poor little brain :P

I have been working really hard but I realized that I am somewhat at a disadvantage when it comes to my work situation.I need to work a lot more hours if I want to make more money...but I like time to myself and also I devote a good part of my time to voluntary work that I do. While I keep my blog free of any religious or political affiliations...I feel like my efforts to remain neutral at work are being undermined. I am over it now, I work hard and I do my best but I am a tech at heart and I don't think that will ever change. I like being on the phones and I love talking to people but in order for me to be effective, I feel that I have to get work that is hands on and satisfying. I am happy with my current job but I can see the need to supplement my income with other work that actually satisfies my inward desire to fix things....I am flying out to Auckland soon and I will miss my dearest family. They have been so wonderful...I have decided that I will move and it seems that everything is working out. Someone called me at work and offered me a place to stay again...we have a mutual friend. I feel like there so much going on for me....but I also see the need to be wise in making decisions that relate to finance,recreation and technology. I'm hoping that everything works out.

Peace out everyone! :)

Well I'll be Googled!!!

I found out that that darn google car has finally phoned home and handed in the payload it has been carrying all this time.....I decided to check the new NZ google street views that this car has come up with....very secretly! Yes, Google has kept a low profile.....sneaking pics at people and vehicles that are on "street view" I sure pity the guy who has the job of blurring out all the faces(I know what actually does this though)....he seems to have blurred out my face very well though....I found myself in google street view...sitting at my favorite spot...I always sit there after a long day in class....around lunch time,munching away at my "burger meal" from Steve's :D I love that place.....anyway, I sit at the park to relax and have my lunch most times...but little did I know, that Google is watching!!! 

For those who don't know...Google maps has a new feature called "street view" and it was previously unavailable in New Zealand..until 2nd December 2008! yay! New Zealand is the 7th country to get this latest craze.....and I discovered myself on it...what are the chances of that happening?? 1 in a googillion :P
