We finally got some time to update company website, and not a day too soon, as previous design was created a decade ago!

It is really embarrassing for anyone, let alone an IT company, to have an outdated website these days. Well, we always had “more important” things to do: CD Label Designer website, Web Log Storming website or other projects that we were working on these years. As they say: “The shoemaker always wears the worst shoes” – it was so true in our case. But not anymore, hopefully – this pair of shoes should be all new and shiny. 🙂

As the website is rather new, we still keep a close eye on possible broken links and other errors and resolving them as they come up, so please take a minute to let us know if you happen to notice anything.

Some time ago we have developed basic shared shopping list web application. It was something like hobby project back then, but now we have decided to make it better by adding more advanced features.

Grocify is a web application that allows you to share shopping list with your close family, roommates or whoever. After someone from your group adds an item to shopping list, any other member can use a phone to see this list while in the store. No need to call or text your household members for this purpose anymore.

To see details and create a free account, just go to Grocify website.

Another Web Log Storming update is ready.

Search & replace for file names in Project Properties

This new feature you can use to rename accessed files however you wish them to appear in reports. One of uses involve grouping files.

In this image, you can see examples of grouping all *.gif images into single fictional /not_important file and all /image/* files into /any_image file.

Access methods introduced

From now on, in Hits report you can see which method web client used to access a file (GET, POST, HEAD, etc). Additionally, we added Method parameter under File parameters pane, so you can quickly check for any of methods. This is particularly useful for detecting hacker activity – you can now easily notice any suspicious POST access, which hackers often use when they are trying to upload malicious code to your website.

Other changes

Other changes in this version include:

+ Goals are clickable now in Overview report
& Search Engine detection only in domain
& Drill-down from Directory report: subdirectories are not excluded anymore
* “https” in referred URLs is correctly processed now
* Problem with quoted search phrases
* First goal was not visible on Overview report
* Crash when copying Overview report to clipboard in some cases
* Few other minor problems

Notice

This update is free to anyone who bought a license or update subscription within last two years (after Sep 3rd, 2010). Our standard policy is to give free updates for one year, but Web Log Storming wasn’t updated a lot during this year, so we felt it would be unfair for our users and decided to make an exception this time.
