After hearing about google CEO Eric Schmidt’s philosophy (“If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place.”) the data leecher Google seemed more suspicious to me than ever. Using Google Mail, Calendar, etc. is so damn comfortable (almost too comfortable), but I don’t think i like the direction this whole Google thing is going in. They know what you search for, who you know and exchange emails with and soon they will also know what you see (keyword AR-Browser). Long story short, I think we should all look out for Google service alternatives and try them out, as long as they still exist… who knows how long it is until we only have Google and nothing else ;).

I found a neat alternative for Google Analytics. It’s called Piwik, it’s open source and the best thing is, you’re hosting it on your own webserver, so the data belongs to you and only you have access to it. You need at least PHP 5.1 and a MySQL database, the installation takes less than 5 minutes.
I never used all of the Google Analytics features, so i can’t say if Piwik offers exactly the same functions, but it looks very promising and for my purposes it offers more than enough. There is an API, plugins, real-time reports, customizable interface and many more features.
If you’re interested, check out their online demo and try Piwik out on your own webserver.

Found a very nice DIY-tutorial for a room divider (via). Since you only need two ikea items (Orgel, Dioder) it’s quite cheap, but i think it looks very cool. You can probably argue about which colour patterns to use, but anyways it’s a very nice and easy to do idea.

“It’s quite simple really, for each unit you need just one Orgel paper lamp and one Dioder color LED unit. Take two of the bars from a Dioder LED kit, gently slide them under the bars on the top front inside of the paper shade of the Orgel paper lamp shade. Be careful not to poke a hole in the paper.”
