Bandwidth Leeching

I loaded up Visitors today on burtonini.com to see what was going on, and discovered that I've got 12000 referrals from a single domain, which I didn't recognise. A few minutes later, I discovered that several users on xanga.com are using photos I have taken as web page backgrounds, from my site.

A quick google later, and I've got some mod_rewrite magic going on. Get off my land!

What's New, Pussycat

Erm, yeah. So it's been a while since I last blogged. My only excuse is that I've been busy with work...

I had a birthday meal a few weeks ago which was cool, and missed the last train home which wasn't so cool. It was good to see old faces again and all that. For my birthday I got cool DVDs (Father Ted, Black Books, 24 and Boyz In the Hood) from most people and a kick arse coffee machine from Vicky. No more putting up with instant (albeit passable Fairtrade instant), I can go for espresso or filter now. I'm not to bad at a latte either, but I've not yet summoned the courage to froth milk.

Quick snippets: the new Netscape browser looks, erm, busy. Probably the worse application I've seen for a long time. Bush turns an education act into a military recruitment drive, and Galloway won his second libel case.
