Curious about CSS (cascading style sheets)? The folks at neuralust/placenamehere have a demo page where they change only the CSS each day, all of the HTML stays the same. For example, today's CSS code looks like this.  You can browse to see how other days look.

I threw together a perl script for better filtering and viewing of my server logs. What I found is a bunch of hackers out there trying to see if this is a windows machine they can crack:

/scripts/..%%35c../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir

And various other derivatives. It's like a little evil murmer under the general hubub of the internet, poking and prodding gollumlike to find something precious. Jeezum.

There's also a variety of spider/bots sniffing about:

  daypopbot/0.2
  Netprospector JavaCrawler
  Scooter-W3.1.2
  Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)
  Slarp/0.1
  Openfind data gatherer, Openbot/3.0+(http://www.openfind.com.tw/robot.html)
  Cartographer 1.4
  BlogBot/1.1
  FAST-WebCrawler/3.3 (http://fast.no/support.php?c=faqs/crawler)
  larbin_2.*

I havn't heard of Larbin. It's a Linux based webcrawler and all of the traffic I'm getting from it is coming from France.

On closer inspection Cartographer may not be a bot, more of a browsing assistant the files away everything you've seen, evaluates it, and makes some nifty keen pictures.

For some friends, from Dave Barry: [antipixel]
If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."


Today's project (actually last night's) is beginning movie making at home.  In this episode (2.5meg worth) we present our "educational" show:
