 (???) PDATE ON TILDE ANALYTICS
       Anyway, for this week I have some updates for the tilde amalytics!
       
       Updated session tracking
       
       In order to count unique pageviews the pixel stored the SHA1 hash of the
       request IP address. This is not really secure since a) I am sure rainbow
       tables for IPv4-SHA1 exist and b) the ip doesn't change, so you can
       track an user between session.
       
       I changed this to something new: a session cookie!
       
       Now before you start worrying about me tracking users between websites,
       I can tell tou that the session cookie does not have a max age set, so
       it will expire after the browser is closed. Also it doesn't reveal the
       request's ip address so this is the better option!
       
       New dashboard for viewing analytics
       
       The current analytics "dashboard" is everything but user friendly. In
       order to help the maybe one person that is using this I crafted this
       mess of javascript code:
       
       Find it on my ~town
       
       How to use this:
       
       1.  Open the left menu
       2.  Create a new site
       3.  Add pages to the site with the floating + button
       4.  ???
       5.  Profit!
       
       Here is a screenshot:

       Anyway, that's all I have for this week. Maybe I'll have some time this
       week to start programming some sort of comments system.
