Asynchronous Tracking?

According to Google...

"Asynchronous tracking is an improved way to track website visitors with Google Analytics. Unlike a traditional installation, asynchronous tracking optimizes how browsers load ga.js so its impact on user experience is minimized. It also allows you to put your Analytics snippet higher in the page without delaying subsequent content from rendering.

Although asynchronous tracking uses a different Analytics snippet and a different syntax for tracking calls, it supports the exact same tracking customizations as the traditional snippet. In fact, the asynchronous tracking syntax is also more flexible than the traditional snippet. See the Usage Guide for information."

Slow Leopard?

OK, we have quiet a few PC's and Mac's here... but the two new Mac's running Snow Leopard were woefully slow viewing and accessing shared folders and files across the network.

If you are in this boat, this will make your day:

In "System Preferences", click on "Network Preferences" and select "Ethernet". Now click on "Advanced" and in the first tab 'TCP/Ip' change "Configure IPv6 from 'Automatic' to 'Off'.

Do the same with "Airport" if you are having trouble with slow wireless connections.

Mac Shortcuts

OK... no matter what people say, Mac's are not perfect. You WILL get the odd moment of booting issues, network connection problems, programs hanging etc. After all, it's just a computer!

This is a good reference for system boot up short cuts:

Develop iPhone and iPod apps with Flash?

The light is at the end of the tunnel! iPhone apps with Flash? Yes, apparently Flash CS5 will be able to do this! But how? When Apple seems to still shun Flash?

Well, it's all thanks for the iPhone Packager, but you will have to wait until "later in the year". I have registered for the BETA release, so will see how smooth this all is.

I'm guessing Apple will have a flood of apps to review when this happens. There are already 30,000 games for the iPhone and iPod. No disrespect to Flash developers, but there will surely be a lot of crappy apps and games developed. Hopefully there will also be an increase in the fun and useful apps too!
