Blog: Cannot get demographics to work with Google Analytics

I have made some changes and have not been able to get the demographics portion to work. Checking back in the scripts, I noticed that the change that I needed was no longer there. This probably happened when I switched to the Universal Analytics scripts (as opposed to the classic scripts). I have re-added it and waiting to see if there have been any changes.

I have been waiting since I had put in this line before. I had thought that there was a minimum number of visitors needed before it could report something. The warning in Google Analytics is somewhat misleading:
Some data in this report may have been removed when a threshold was applied. Learn more

Life: Meaning of Friendship?

More interesting than the article, the comments have some rather polar differences. What does friendship mean to you? Are you ok with a 'stranger' to use your name and call you a friend? Do you use friendship loosely for use on anyone?

One post even suggests that the term 'friends' has evolved due to social media. Has it evolved?

Coding: Error running Eclipse with 32-bit Java

I get this error because I had Java 32-bit running and a 64-bit version was needed.
Java was started but returned exit code=13

I had Eclipse and Java installed a long while back, and was pretty sure that Eclipse was working before distracted by other projects. Coming back to it to work with Google Apps, I received the above error. After some trial-and-error, I finally found a post that it may have to do with the Java version. I had to download the 64-bit version. I am not sure why I thought Eclipse had worked before. Whatever I had thought, the 64-bit version of Java fixed this above error.
