SEO: Google analytics workaround for non-FQDN sites

we've setup google analytics on our external facing internet site and its been running great for the past year.
But now, we're looking at employing the same solution to our intranet.
Reading the FAQ on google, states that analytics requires two things for it to work correctly.

First, your internal network needs to be able to access certain resource files located on google's server.
Secondly, the site needs to have a FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name).

My problem is our intranet doesn't have an FQDN.
Read a few posts that there is a simple workaround for this.

First, copy the google tracking code and add it to a page on a site that does have a FQDN.

Add the _setDomainName property to the code, just beneath the variable declaration for pageTracker.
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-xxxxxx-x");
pageTracker._setDomainName("none");

Change your settings in analytics to point to the location of the temporary site.
Confirm tracking code is working and leave it overnight to collect stats.

Once a day's worth of stats have been collected, you can remove the tracking code on your temporary site and append the code to your intranet site.

Analytics will continue tracking your site as if nothing has changed =)

Google: Chrome Browser easter eggs

Similarly to Firefox's about:config page, Google's Chrome Browser has a number of interesting about pages as well.

Type the following into your address bar!

about:memory

about:stats

about:network

about:internets

about:histograms

about:dns

about:cache

about:plugins

about:version

Additional stuff on a per site basis:

view-cache:[URL]

cache:[URL]

Google code search

Google code search supports POSIX extended regex syntax.

http://www.google.com.au/codesearch?hl=en

Some advance search examples:

• The lang: operator, which restricts by programming language (e.g., lang:"c++", -lang:java, or lang:^(c|c#|c\+\+)$)
• The license: operator, which restricts by software license (e.g., license:apache, -license:gpl, or license:bsd|mit)
• The package: operator, which restricts by package URL (e.g., package:"www.kernel.org" or package:\.tgz$)
• The file: operator, which restricts by filename (e.g., file:include/linux/$ or -file:\.cc$)
