We're delighted to finally be able to offer Awstats statistics for all our shared Linux based hosting accounts (it's also available for Windows).

If your site is hosted on any of our shared Linux hosting accounts you can now setup Awstats via your control panel

NB: Stats will not be viewable for 24 hours after setup, as the logs will need to be processed first.

We've also made available a screencast showing you how to set it all up in your control panel.

Since I'm a strong believer in making things as easy as possible where I can, you'll also find that our screencasts are available via iTunes as well.

If anyone has any feedback on the screencasts please do let us know.

You can expect to read quite a bit over the next few days about the major differences in tactics and media used by both camps in the 2008 US presidential elections.

One of the posts that caught my rather bleary eyes this morning (not my fault that election watching until 4am is so addictive!) was over on the Nominet management blog. Phil is interested in how the candidates used domains and points to two other articles on the New York Times and Network World

The basic analysis, which wasn't that scientific, shows a much higher concentration in Obama land (Obama was incredibly active on social network sites like Facebook and Twitter as well, while McCain's attitudes towards the internet weren't exactly "progressive")

A couple of weeks ago Entertainment Earth was reporting a much higher level of interest in its Obama gear than their McCain stuff.

Did embracing the internet and "new media" make the difference? Possibly. McCain's very gracious speech last night noted that Obama had managed to reach out to the "marginalised" and give them the impetus to actually exercise their constitutional right to vote.

It's a pity that most politicians can't inspire that level of interest ....

• Twitter to launch election site tonight

A few weeks ago Krishna De and I spent an afternoon recording a series of short podcasts on hosting, domain registration, seo and related topics for the PodCamp Ireland series.

Krishna De has given me permission to use and abuse the hosting tip series, so I will probably make them available from here shortly (I'm still trying to find an embeddable mp3 player that I actually like!)

If people like this kind of thing it shouldn't be that hard to organise more of them....

Journalists call from time to time asking me to talk about various internet related topics. Most of the time the publications or shows are "general interest", so you can only talk about very general things.

Last night, however, was quite different, as I was one of the guests on "Domain Masters" which is broadcast and streamed weekly at 7pm EST (11pm in Ireland, midnight CET)

The show's host last night was my good friend Jothan Frakes who is one of the domain name industry's gurus.

Although I was very nervous (which probably showed!) we had a nice chat about Blacknight, domains and the internet industry.

If anyone wants to hear the show there should be an mp3 version available on the WebmasterRadio site at some time over the next couple of days.

UPDATE: The Mp3 from last night is now available on the site http://www.webmasterradio.fm/Internet-Marketing/Domain-Masters/Geo-Domain-Expo-and-BlackKnight.htm

UPDATE 2: Of course if I provided proper hyperlinks people might be actually able to use them!

PodCamp Ireland was fantastic.

The organisers did a fantastic job and I hope everyone had as much fun as I did.

They even managed to bamboozle me into joining a panel!

A couple of us have headed over to Kilkenny for the day to attend PodCampIreland.

If you're in the area drop into the Ormonde Hotel

Ireland's first major podcasting event takes place this Saturday in the Ormonde Hotel, Kilkenny.

The event kicks off at 10am and promises to be an interesting day if the list of expected attendees is anything to go by.

As it's only "over the road" from us I plan on attending, as I'm still feeling guilty about not attending the last couple of events that we sponsored!
