Hello. Check out the statistics page . . . numbers that change as you click refresh, over and over again, averages given to 20 DECIMAL PLACES, spammy text based graphs (hey, you try getting software installed under Linux . . . I'm talking about the Perl module GD::Graph here, of course). I've written the queries to exclude IP addresses from within my network . . . kinda makes sense. I'm constantly reloading to check content/layout, after all. We had thunderstorms last night, and then the rain started really falling in the hours of the morning. It woke me up, as these huge blobs of rain pounded away at my dormer roof (I'm at the top of the house, see). Breakfast time.

Later that day . . .

Okay. Now, I don't really have the time or inclination to pursue this matter much further, but I think 207.46.98.84 deserves some kind of round of applause. Today, a machine behind this IP address, through thick and thin, has made no less than 338 requests to my web server (at time of writing, naturally . . . In fact, it was 335 when I began writing this paragraph). Each of these requests was unique. That is, no request was made twice, and none of these requests was for index.php without any parameters. All very odd. This relentless onslaught began today at 16:02:07 and the requests are coming in at the rate of 52.8333 every hour, or 0.88 requests every minute. Naturally, this is completely skewing the figures (August has just begun, and already machines like 207.46.98.84 have made close to a thousand requests to my web server). Grrrrrr. I have firewalls for machines like you . . . hmmmmm. Oh . . . that's an idea. Ah, I see. Right. Fine. My firewall's like that, is it? Maybe I need another one then, and we'll forward port 80 to there. Yes.
