After losing my old subversion repositories, I've just been updating the install of my sisynala instance. Finally got off my arse and started new subversion repositories and updated sisynala 0.9.18 with all the changes I've made - mostly updated information on determining what's a bot, what browser is being used, what are search engine referrers, and what were they searching for.

It only took Barry a few minutes to find some bugs in the previous release of sisynala, after I wrote some quick start instructions. The 0.9.18 release has this quick start guide, and fixed Barry's bugs. I've decided I might as well place it on PyPI, more users should help shake out a few bugs.

I've finally updated the web analyser still going by codename sisynala, which is now a little easier to configure. Version 0.9.17 introduces an entry-page graph which lists how people first arrived at your web site, and also allows users to use localconfig.py without copying large tracts from sisynala/config.py which would need to be updated when you upgrade. sisynala is now available via Subversion at svn://dirk.moria.org/svnroot/sisynala/trunk, more information on its page.
For statistical purposes, I like to ensure that I don't count myself in my web page statistics. sisynala and KDE's wonderful Konqueror browser makes this easy for me. Here's how.

My web analysis program sisynala now detects Safari, Camino, Firebird, and friends in its 0.9.8 version. It also has some new reports - agent strings with unknown browsers or operating systems, Mozilla-based browsers whose vendors aren't otherwise classified, and finally search requests by search engine. Examples on my statistics page.

I'm finally happy enough with my web log analyser to let other people take a look at it. Basically, it is a highly configurable analyser that tries to exclude non-human visitors (Search Spiders, and so forth) from all processing, and to provide useful reporting. It can be downloaded from the sparsely populated project page.

After about a week of evenings and some of the weekend, I'm finished the first phase of my web log analyser, currently codenamed ``sisynala''. You can see the output at http://mithrandr.moria.org/stats/. It is roughly based on the look of Mark Pilgrim's sitestats, and borrows and builds on the Agent/OS parsing and charting routines from it. More soon.
