Measure Map is not Dope anymore

Earlier this year back in January I wrote an entry about how dope Measure Map is. Well, ever since this dandy stats application was sold to those guys over on the other side of the valley, Measure Map is... um, well; to put it kindly, "not so dope anymore." Over the last few (several actually) months I've been lucky enough to ever get a peak at my website statistics. Due to some server setup inefficiencies I was forced to rely on a third party stats program. That is where Measure Map came in, and failed me. It is in fact a bit dissappointing that Google has failed to at least throw some money at it to provide extra servers - but not even that has happened. Instead I received this kind and "not so humorous anymore" note: A kind note from Google

Ok. Fine. It was free. Whatever. I can live with that. This is the perfect case for that 'ol saying "you get what you pay for." With that in mind, I purchased a license to Mint, spent a half hour setting things up, and I must say, I am happy with what I'm using. Thanks Shaun, you freed me from my life without statistics.
