This is what google analytics is for.

Third party trackers, like Google Analytics, go against the Privacy Statement of this site and will never be seen here.

Of course, that applies more to the third party part than the analyze part. Some parts of pipecode, such as the recently added short code links, do record some statistics and are, in fact, using IP geolocation to plot where people are browsing from. For example, the short code for this poll is: http://pipedot.org/3ZH and it's statistic page is: http://pipedot.org/3ZH+

Are you sure the tracking works?

I'm pretty sure I have clicked on that short link, but Europe/Copenhagen isn't in the list.

Even if the click went over IPv6, the other end of my IPv6-tunnel is in Sweden, but I don't see Europe/Stockholm in the list either.

Although I tested both IPv4 and IPv6 geolocation lookups, my own IPv6 addresses merely report back "United States" and lack the normal City-level precision of the IPv4 records. Because I'm using MaxMind's GeoLite Free database, I believe that the IPv6 portion isn't nearly as complete as the IPv4 portion.
