IE 5.0 or 5.5?

(and where is Opera?)

It appears to be a cgi script that reads the page from the query string and filters all the text on the page, giving obscure similies for some words while completely annihilating others. It also seems to be using some kind of algorithm and not a set of rules, because it’s never rendered the same way twice.

But then again, I think a lot of Opera users set their user agents to another browser so that 2% number might not be accurate.

Of the 23% who use IE, 94% were using IE 6, 5% were using IE 5.5, and 1% were using IE 5. Not bad…

On a side note, the view of the Sound is wonderful from where you are. I’m in the Ballard/Fremont area and get the Olympics view from time to time, but that’s about it.

Have you tried filtering out your own visits in Shortstat – tends to make your Firefox percentage drop quite a bit (well it did for me, anyway) :)

Details here: The Watchmaker Project

Thanks for the tip, and I’m about to check out your filtering mechanism. However, I use Safari, so if anything, it would only lower my Safari stats by maybe fractions of a percent.

These include unique hits for weekly view, monthly stats for current and previous months, combined browser statistics (without versions) and fixes for several typos in the languages file.
