More server log madness

Filed under: General — codeman38 @ 12:43 am

Some more inexplicable search requests from my server logs:

  • blogger windows download movabletype – Eh?
  • x10 camera ad girls – Methinks the Proofreader’s Hall of Shame wasn’t what they were looking for.
  • “what the heck” intp – What the heck, indeed.
  • “hacked””iranian”farsi – I’m not sure which is worse, the fact that I don’t understand the query or those quotation marks.

It also amazes me how many people are led to the Proofreader’s Hall of Shame by misspelled searches involving the word “dowload”. Heh.

On the more serious side, a number of searches led to some quite useful material:

  • video game font
  • zelda font
  • secret of mana font
  • mr saturn font download
  • From Ask Jeeves: Where can I find a Legend of Zelda font?

I still can’t understand the redundancy within the search for font video game retro font, though.

And on a tangent, I got a rather surprising number of hits for things related to the infamous Goku toy instructions to which I alluded in past blog entries.

Oh, and last but not least, turns out I was also linked on Human Spell Check! Nifty. (Funny, I browsed the latest update and didn’t even notice the link, either…)

Some people have way too much spare time on their hands. Like Fuzzpilz, one of the regulars at RinkWorks, who decided to register himself this domain name: asdruihofvnuaeiorsz7iasnodfiaz7sd.com

$10 mice? Impossible!

Filed under: General — codeman38 @ 8:29 pm

Need a new mouse for your computer? Amazon.com’s got optical mice for $10 each. I’ve gone ahead and bought one, because my current mouse is becoming a bit stubborn; nothing like mice that, even after a good cleaning, still like to stick every once in a while…

Bizarro‘s March 25 comic illustrates the importance of punctuation.

Tennucky, Kennessee, same thing

Confidential to Reuters News: That’s Tennessee, not Kentucky.

I guess my sense of direction isn’t that terrible after all, eh? 😉

Irony defined: “Consumer Reports, the magazine that uncovers safety problems in everything from appliances to beauty products, says it’s guilty of giving consumers a potentially dangerous product.”

Stupid spammers redux

Filed under: General — codeman38 @ 11:44 pm

OK, yet another stupid spam from my spare e-mail account…

It starts off innocently enough:

Below is the result of your feedback form. It was submitted by (address deleted) on Wednesday, April 10, 2002 at 20:30:48

Unfortunately, the headers tell a different story.

To:codeman04@hotmail.com, codeman322@earthlink.net, codeman38@yahoo.com, codeman43@earthlink.net, codeman55@hotmail.com

Must be one of those new-fangled multiuser feedback forms. (And yes, of course, only one of those addresses belongs to me. <grin>)

Integration at Taylor County

Filed under: General — codeman38 @ 5:35 pm

2002 was a landmark year for students at Taylor County High School in western Georgia. Why? Simple: this is the first year that their prom has ever been racially integrated.

And now, my question: What took them so long?!

A hint to would-be robbers: If you’re going to rob a store, make sure the license plate on your getaway car doesn’t have your name printed on it.
