Some pepper with your email list? - Campaign Monitor Blog

c77:

The Campaign Monitor blog’s link to the Pepper I just posted at HaveAMint.com. Mint is an awesome stats package, maintained by Shaun Inman, that you can deploy to your own server and use to view stats in real time. Shaun has enabled plugin development, known as Peppers in Mint parlance (Pepper + Mint), and a strong community has responded with useful modules in turn.

If you’re checking Mint throughout the day to see who’s visiting your site and when, I thought it would be useful to see who’s signing up for your Campaign Monitor subscriber list as well. If you use Campaign Monitor and Mint, you can download the CM Subscribers pepper at http://slimkiwi.com/go/download_cm_pepper.

Future features planned:

  • View custom subscriber fields
  • Set your timezone and edit the interval to display new signups (currently 24 hours)
  • Error handling, just in case something’s amiss
  • Track multiple subscriber lists within your account

I’m a little unsure of the appropriateness of the last one. Your Mint stats are for a single site/URL, which would correspond to one email list. The option for more data is always a good one to have, though.

Enjoy! 

私たちの国の言論人は人々に向かって「もっと努力しろ」と告げるタイプの言説しか語らない。
「そんなにむきにならなくてもいいよ。疲れてるなら、少しの間、休もうよ」といういたわりの言説だけが誰によっても口にされない。
これは異常である、と私は思う。
例えば、環境問題というのは誰が何と言おうと「働き過ぎ」の成果である。
働くほど環境は破壊される。
ほんとうに環境を保全したいと望むなら、自然の再生産が可能な範囲に経済活動を自粛するべきなのである。
緑に覆われたペロポネソス半島はいまは禿山だらけだが、それはギリシャ人が製鉄の燃料のために切ってしまったからである。
古代の経済活動レベルに戻してさえ、それでも環境は破壊されてしまうのである。
そのことを覚えておこう。
繰り返し論及している教育問題についても、同じである。
日本の子どもたちの学びへの意欲が急速に減退しているのは、「勉強すると金になるぞ」という類の経済合理性によるインセンティブを過剰服用したせいである。
小学生たちは深夜まで塾通いをしている。そんなふうにして学習時間はどんどん長くなり、教育費はどんどん高騰し、学力はどんどん下がっている。
それに対して、さらに学習時間を長くして、さらに教育費を高騰させ、学力による格付けと差別を強化することを教育行政はめざしているが、その結果がさらなる学力低下をしか生み出さないことに彼らだって内心気づいてはいるのである。
ただ、脊髄反射的に「失敗したら、さらに努力する」ソリューションしか思いつかないのである。
繰り返し申し上げるが、現代日本の不幸の過半は「努力のしすぎ」のせいである。
私たちは疲れているのである。
私たちに必要なのは休息である。

Brands don’t actually want or need any more media channels. As far as they’re concerned, the internet can stop now.

well, i was about to make a joke about hudson’s vital organs and sexual orientation, but i figure that’s too easy.

Anonymous asked: <p>Lately, astrophysicists say the sun&#8217;s surface activity has been docile as of late, and fear that this calm is only the beginning of a violent out pour of heat and magnetism that could screw up our planet. Do suns function like tectonic plate activity, where the less activity is a size of a bigger earthquake, or does our star just like being sporadic without the intention of harming us?</p>

Actually, you’re wrong about the sun’s activity being docile as of late! Just last week there was a huge coronal mass ejection, or CME, that was aimed directly at Earth. Solar flares and CMEs are both caused by the release of energy stored in the magnetic field of the sun, and consist of a plasma of electrons and protons with some heavier ions for flavor. These alter the shape of the Earth’s magnetosphere, which results in the extension of one of the more spectacular natural phenomena: auroras. On August 4, 2010, the aurora borealis was seen as far south as Lake Superior.

Can a CME cause problems on Earth? Yes and no. The heat is a non-factor for us, but the charged particles can cause mischief if they punch through the magnetosphere. In strong cases, the electrical systems in satellites can be damaged and high-altitude pilots can get an extra dose of radiation. The first recorded CME, in 1859, disrupted telegraph networks. Therefore, it’s not far-fetched to assume that a sufficiently large and directed CME could damage the power grid.

The planet, however, will just keep turning on, with the addition of some really spectacular auroras.

Discovery did a really good article on how the sun probably won’t fry us all here.

I think the band I still really like is Led Zeppelin. They have like a thousand unique songs. Not really…they have like a million songs.
