De-'Async Inject' Universal Analytics

This gist applies the theory from Ilya Grigorik's Script-injected "async scripts" considered harmful on the default Universal Analytics snippet. TLDR place this above the CSS in the <head> of your document

<!-- Google Analytics Part 1: Creates window.ga, sets account, and queues pageview-->
<script>
  !function(n,t){n.GoogleAnalyticsObject=t,n[t]=n[t]||function(){(n[t].q=n[t].q||[]).push(arguments)},n[t].l=1*new Date}(window,"ga");
  ga('create', 'UA-XXXX-Y', 'auto'); // REPLACE UA-XXXX-Y w/ YOUR ACCOUNT
 ga('send', 'pageview');

I'm sitting here, on a rainy Sunday morning in June 2015, in front of my MacBook Air, flipping switches on my Android, staring at the computer. A light bulb in my living room flickers from blue, to orange, to some weird green color. I'm tracking Bluetooth LE Characteristics. I have a Bluetooth light bulb, and they don't have a javascript API yet, so I'm using noble and node to write one.

I'm sitting there, a few miles away, in I want to say August 1999. I'm staring at a CRT monitor, and plugged into a USB port on my family's windows tower is a GameBoy GameShark that I took on a lot of chores and time to earn. plugged into that is some Harvest Moon game or another. I want to say I needed more tomato seeds. My child-brain decided that instead of figuring out a way to earn the in-game currency, I would alter the universe.

I wasn't the most straightforward-thinking kid.

Since then I've learned I could've just used Yahoo (or even Ask Jeeves!) for the codes. Instead I looked up how to make them: I found profanit

	# Implementation of the MetaWeblog API for my personal Ruby static blog generator.
	# This is not even nearly idiomatic Ruby. There are all kinds of issues.
	# (What's with the method interiors all being mushed-up together?)
	# But -- it's also worked flawlessly for five years without my having to edit it.
	# It won't work for anyone else as-is — but if it helps anyone
	# to do a MetaWeblog API implementation, then cool.
