This is an interesting topic – it’s really easy to argue both ways. Is it really worth installing a lot of software that will eventually slow down your machine or even open up your company’s firewall to allow certain traffic to come through on different ports?
Many IT teams might say no, but I’ll argue forever with them about always having a fully replicated local development environment!
I’m sure you’re like me and register to new websites almost daily giving them the same old email address each time or if you are even really anal about it, creating a new email account for each site. Then all of a sudden our email box starts getting more and more filled with spam, what’s the big idea?

I think it’s a good thing to know whether or not people like the links I often include in my blog articles. I try not to link out too much, as the whole goals of my articles are for you to stay and read them! Crazy concept, I know…
Like most people, I rely on Google Analytics to provide me the stats about my website. I certainly don’t have the traffic that requires a custom solution! The nice part is that Google has made this very easy through Custom Event Tracking.
