I’ve done something similar and will phase Google Analytics over the Christmas break. I’m not interested in much of what they collect and the things I am interested in I can work out for myself... with a bit of effort.

Without thinking about it I’m actually writing a csv file too, just that it has a .txt extension! 😆

I found with PHP it was really easy and fast to parse and I recently implemented a very basic chart so I can visualise views over time. And I leave the PHP script to log the date and time.
