What, if any, website analytics packages do you use? Google Analytics? Piwik? Webalizer? Pen & paper?!

Any time someone hits my website, I commission a small plane to paint their IP in the clouds using smoke trails. Everyone stares when you walk in the room, they stare when you go....

Sounds like I'd need to get the Apache module for IPoAC support for that.

I use a combination of Google Analytics and AWStats.

kickin it oldsk00l awstatstylee? awsnap! Thanks for sharing. I'm not sure how I feel about googlestats. Part of me thinks it's awesome and part of me thinks google is a company and maybe I shouldn't just give them hella free data. Then again I use their products and want them to be better. Still, it kinda creeps me out.

If I had time I would probably try out piwik or Open Web Analytics.

Both of those look awesome and are free/open source.

AWStats is very stoneage-y and definitely designed by a psychopath.

lol psychocode.

I'm in the processing of trying out OWA but it doesn't appear to be able to track user resolution from my brief research. I think you can track custom/open fields though so I guess I could always just code that myself. Install was a snap though, minimal effort invested. I plan to try Piwik soon as well, and I'll report back with my findings.
