Just about to write a bit of Perl to once and for all provide some kind of view of all those IP addresses of all you freaks out there who keep sending requests to my web-server. See, yesterday at 15:14:21 someone popped in and, during the exchange, their computer passed along this field called HTTP_VIA (which I've never heard of before), containing the string '1.0 cherry.shu.ac.uk:3128 (squid/2.5.STABLE2)', which is obviously something to do with Sheffield Hallam University, but who do I know there? So, I'm wondering how many unique IP addresses I have visiting my server . . . god, my feet are cold. Didn't help climbing up an aluminium ladder at about 10:15 this morning in order to observe how my 'flashing' has come away from the brickwork . . . well, not quite true . . . the seal between the flashing and the brickwork has kind of dried up and disappeared. And there's me, barefoot, wearing nothing but tracky-dacks and a T-shirt, going, "Oh yeah, all the, erm, stuff's come away, yeah, I can see that now." And god damn pigeons keep mating or giving birth or god knows what on my roof . . . it's flat, you see. They love it up there, those pigeons. Oh . . . and they even clicked on the 'Statistics' link . . . ah . . . just as well then, I guess. Thank you for reminding me. Right. Breakfast.
