One of the little features of WordPress is that you can see where incoming readers came from (their search criteria, or a site that redirected them). Yesterday I was quite interested to see a few viewers coming in from a Burleson article which referenced a page I had written about getting some help from statspack for a recent trouble-shooting exercise.
Naturally I had to see what Burleson had to say – unsurprisingly he was fairly selective in what he said, picking the bits that best suited the purpose of advertising one of his books, and closing with an advert for a website that he has helped develop and which he claims to be an “expert system” to help you learn how to spot system-wide performance problems. (Funnily enough I was planning to use the example from that site in a future post to explain how not to read a statspack report.)
