Turned on stats. Then turned them off.
Blog Posted by kitt at 11:05 on 12 November 2005I turned on stats on my site yesterday. I don't care about them particularly much, so I never bothered with them. As mentioned many, many times before, this site is for me, blah, blah, blah.
Well, it was an eye-opener.
Every ten minutes, the IP address 64.56.206.254 hits my RSS feed.
Every. Ten. Minutes.
64.56.206.1 is squaretrade, but the block maps to:
OrgName: Savvis OrgID: SAVVI-2 Address: 3300 Regency Parkway City: Cary StateProv: NC PostalCode: 27511 Country: US ReferralServer: rwhois://rwhois.exodus.net:4321/ NetRange: 64.56.192.0 - 64.56.207.255 CIDR: 64.56.192.0/20 NetName: SAVVIS NetHandle: NET-64-56-192-0-1 Parent: NET-64-0-0-0-0 NetType: Direct Allocation NameServer: DNS01.SAVVIS.NET NameServer: DNS02.SAVVIS.NET NameServer: DNS03.SAVVIS.NET NameServer: DNS04.SAVVIS.NET Comment: RegDate: Updated: 2004-10-07
Eh. I have no idea who that IP address is from, but I assure you, I don't write enough on this site to ping the site every 10 minutes.
If that is your IP address and you're here to figure out why the feed stopped, I blocked your IP address. Pull it back to once an hour, and not between 3:10 and 7:00am (because clearly I don't post at that time of the day), and I'll unblock your IP.
I turned the stats back off. I still care little about them.
Look at my chair!
Blog Instead of being asleep at 16:21 on 10 November 2005, kitt created this:"Hey! Where did you get that?"
"In the back. What? No one told you there were drinks here? You just showed up and he put you to work?"
"Yeah. No kidding. They didn't even have a chair for me to sit in. I mean, look at the chair I'm sitting in. Look! You stole my comfy chair!"
"Oh. Do you want this chair?"
"No."
"Do you? Do you want this chair?"
"How can I complain, Mike, if you keep fixing everything I complain about?"
