Well, apart from updating the Google sites I'm setting up, I'm trying out the Analytics tool on my websites to see how well it works. It's easy to add to the google sites, as you'd expect, but I did end up doing a bit of a hack on the template for this blog to get the validation code in.
I haven't worked out how to integrate it with lenses yet, but if it runs for a few days it should give me a lot more detail on my visitors. Hopefully it will also provide information in enough detail to work out the best settings for trafficseeker. Best of all, of course, it's free!
Also, for anyone who hasn't seen them I've uploaded rough cuts of my Bournemouth Airshow and Eastbourne videos to redgage:
When I get decent editing software I will clean the clips up a bit more - Bournemouth for the sunlight and compression issue and Eastbourne because it was my first time with the camera.

Bournemouth Airshow
Just got back from the Saturday. Despite the best efforts of British Rail when the train broke down halfway, we managed to mget there for part of the morning. I have the photographer's sunburn to prove it - through Factor 70, so if you are going take your sunscreen and long sleeves!
Sad news about the Sea Vixen, whose pilot suffered a stroke shortly before the airshow and is now recovering. This means unfortunately no Sea Vixen display, but hopefully the pilot will make a full recovery. Best Wishes to him and his family.
Other displays were the Vulcan, Team Guinot wingwalkers, the BBMF (sadly without spitfire) and several phenomenal acrobatic teams.
A very interesting show, although I have to say I prefered Eastbourne. The Bournemouth show had more on display but long gaps between the flights, and while Eastbourne had a range of stands and a funfair on the seafront, Bournemouth's facilities seemed pretty limited to food and WCs. That said, it's a nice location and a great show, so go early, take water, suntan lotion, and find somewhere to sit and enjoy it! If you know a local it helps, believe me.
I'm sure I should say something about the Eurofighter Typhoon, but it was at the end of the show, so it let us get away early. Can't argue with that.
