As for querying, I'd personally love to be able to do it, so I don't have to beg/distract you every time I have a shiny new request :) Let's chat sometime today?

Cool. Just grab me today whenever you're free. Say, now?

Yeah, 141,882 pageviews in one 30 minute session 

You're a little mixed up. Sessions aren't 30 minute windows. A session is all hits from a given visitor such that each happens no more than 30 minutes after the last. The intuition is that a session ends when the user is idle for 30 minutes. The next hit then begins a new session. Make sense?

Also, is dynamic content loading mucking with the pageview depth stats for alpha? It seems odd that alpha users see so many more pages per session that beta or stable.

The other stuff does look sane to me, and it's pretty damn exciting to finally see a snapshot of how many users we have on beta/alpha in a given day! What I'm really interested in digging into from this: 

1) seeing is a histogram of pageview depth broken out by stable/beta/alpha, something like the following:

% of users who view 1 page per session 
% of users who view 2-3 pages per session 
% ... who view 4-10
% ... who view more than 10

2) getting the same histograms just for people who view at least one special page in a given session – do they look about the same, or does their distribution skew to the right?

3) getting a dump of all the data from all the aforementioned "special" people (yes, that's what I'm calling them!) into a .tsv to play with

4) getting a dump of the top 100 referrers

It would be helpful but not essential to backfill March, if possible, to see if these trends remain stable over time. As for querying, I'd personally love to be able to do it, so I don't have to beg/distract you every time I have a shiny new request :) Let's chat sometime today?

Max Pageviews in one Session: 141,882
Whaa!?

Also... does this job run on the main site? Ie: for desktop browsers?
