Week in Review: Week 43, 2025

published 10/26/25

This week I spent more time on the topic of Apache access log data. I have a machine with Digital Ocean that serves my static websites and I wrote up my configuration (see below) so I can reproduce it in the future. This config has been dutifully sending data from this machine to a bucket on S3 for years.

After capturing my config I next turned my attention to looking at the data. I didn't quite land a post on this exploration just because there's a lot to unpack but it's coming along nicely.

Highlights

• worked 40:00, no PTO
• published Capturing and Storing Apache Access Log Data on here
• finished reading Vanishing Treasures

Next Week

I expect that I'll wrap up the data exploration and post about that. Ultimately what I'm driving towards is some sort of analytics report that shows me page views for blog posts. My guess is that once I'm through looking at the data then that page will be easy to build.
