Why does Venkman say something like “Recorded local startup X, global YYY.\ when it starts up?
The 0.9.x releases of Venkman have a usage counter built in so that I can get an idea of how many people are actually using it. The local startup number represents how many times you have started Venkman, and the global number represents how many times Venkman has ever been started. At startup, Venkman loads a CGI (with XMLHTTPRequest) located on hacksrus.com. Encoded in the URL is the number of times Venkman has been started, and the Venkman version number. Every few days the web logs cycle into /dev/null and are lost forever. Before that happens, I run a shell script that scans the hacksrus web log and summarizes the data. This is the only data that is kept for more than a few days. You can see the results at
