Subscribe in a readerA few days ago I noticed a bug in the Digg-this plugin for my blog. The javascript with this plugin was causing errors with Internet Explorer. The problem must have been around for a week or so, before I noticed it. Now my site doesn’t get too many visitors, but I would have expected someone to complain about it.
Looking in my stats it becomes clear why no-one has. Though only a small and insignificant sample, the traffic at my blog is strongly IE averse. Just have a look at the stats:

Interesting. Someone actually visited your site with their Playstation ;)

Yeay, that also amazed me :)

of course, user agents can be forged. check your stats to see if you have any visitors browsing your site with Renault/Clio ;)
if not, my Prefbar configuration is incorrect ;)

Indeed never trust the user agent :)
Think analytics needs a bit of time to update, curious if the Renault/Clio will show up. Wouldn’t analytics verify for valid user agents…?
I have no idea if the Playstation 3 even has a browser, anyone has one?
PS.
How is the new job?

I’m not sure if analytics verifies user agents, since you never know when a new browser project starts.
the new job is not there yet… I’m starting november 1st. ;)
