(not provided) another point of view


Personaly, seeing the "(not provided)" at the keywords list in Google Analytics i started thinking in an alternative way, because...
what do most people realy search for, day by day in their life (?)

Something "not provided", something more, something that they don't already heave. So maybe we could see this metric in a different way, something like a "society indicator". So maybe we could think this "not provided" as a real keyword that was typed in the search box... from people being unsatisfied with that they already have... interesting, isn't it?

:-)



Some "mainstream" links for reading about the "not provided" issue, in case you are wondering what am i talking about:

Ubuntu upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10

Last night i upgraded one of my netbooks from Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10.

The new ubuntu 11.10 has the "codename" Oneiric Ocelot


I think this upgrade was quicker than the others. After rebooting to the new version... at first i saw a problem with wifi connection (no available connections were shown in the connection manager). This morning it was working fine :-S



I saw a few changes but i didn't have the time yet to play around much

Going back to ubuntu site, something new(?) that i noticed is the online tour :-)

do it... tomorrow

i just discovered an "alternative" to all those common "to-do's" applications...
Do it (Tomorrow) @ Android Market :
Why do today what you can put off till tomorrow?
:-)

although i think it's a bad habit, sometimes i also leave things for "tomorrow" and it can be weeks after when i complete the task, or maybe in the end it is forgoten (so... maybe wasn't worth doing?)

in time i found that leaving things for tomorrow, it may be relaxing for a moment, but 1+1+1... after a while, looking to a pile of tasks... it pushes stress at high levels

anyway, i liked the "alternative" concept at this app and i would like to say some more things about it but i think i will continue writing tomorrow :-P

encrypted Google search over SSL

i think i mistyped something in the url and... i was redirected and landed to https://encrypted.google.com/

i wasn't aware of this encrypted "search solution", so i read some info about it here to find out more and feed my curiosity :-)

LAMP @ Ubuntu 11.04 in userdir (public_html)

had a fresh install of ubuntu 11.04 lately and forgot how i set up the LAMP server the last time @ ubuntu 10.04

i like having sites under construction in the "public_html" @ my userdir folder instead of the default /var/html/ that is so "far away"

so, i found useful this link :-)
mkdir public_html
a2enmod userdir
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
BUT, although i could open html pages, php was not working in my new custom folder under "public_html" :-(

this problem was solved after reading a comment at this page (scroll down)... the solution was in file "/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf"

image bored

when writing a html tag, if the image border becomes as img bored, maybe it's time for a break
