My local electric utility PG&E has a low tech solution for their Smart meters.  If you want to activate the remote sensor you fill out this form and wait 5 days for your "HAN eligibility code".

Well.. it turns out that submitting this form emails customerservice@pge.com with the information (and cc's the person filling out the form).  A quick check reveals that it posts to '/cgi-bin/pgemail.pl' with the included account number and other personal information.

I wonder how they'll send me this super secret code?  Email too?  But don't worry it's secure, they have "PKI certificates using Certicom Elliptic Curve Qu Vanstone (ECQV) technology."

At LinkedIn HQ they have a time-capsule made of legos.  I hope they invite me over when they decide to open it back up.

Of course this would be the handiwork of Adam Nash.

And thanks again to Brandon Duncan for inviting me over for lunch to see this and other LinkedIn wonders.

Added some information to this question about integrating with analytics.js

I wasn't aware of this change to tracking functionality.  I'll see if we can add some of this to the docs or provide an easy way to activate this tracking.
