Make Pretty Charts with PHP/SWF Charts

PHP/SWF Charts is a PHP script and flash file that can build great looking charts. The flash part does all the work. The PHP script just generates the HTML tags to embed the flash file. It can generate a number of different types of charts including line, column, and pie charts.

We're using it at Postica to generate charts for our customers showing statistics on the number of spam and malware blocked, for example.

What The Hell Is Wrong With Google Analytics?

Google Analytics, their new hosted web stats application based on Urchin, seems to be completely broken. Every time I log in, I get the following message.

Analytics has been successfully installed and data is being gathered now. Your first reports will be ready within twelve hours.

The problem is that I added the Google javascript to my site three days ago. I want my pretty graphs, damn it.
