What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So what's the best free hit counter that gives me useful and interesting statistics? All I'd really be interested in is the usual, IPs and referrer links. Referring search words would be cool too. Blogspot suggests:

  • Site Meter
  • Bravenet Hit Counter
  • Re_invigorate
  • FreeStats
  • Easy Hit Counters
  • StatCounter

Looks like StatCounter's got the most bang for my lack of buck.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

I was trying to see how long I could go without a reboot, which is why I hadn't tried it before....

And, what was the answer?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Apple just gave the PowerBooks speed bumps, and lowered the prices: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, that's interesting ...

I look more rad than Lutheranism

No kidding! I got paid a large sum of money yesterday for my freelance gig, and I'm going to order my laptop this week. Am now re-thinking iBook vs. Powerbook.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This is cool:

Now every PowerBook G4 is equipped with Apple's Sudden Motion Sensor to help protect your most valuable asset: your data. The Sudden Motion Sensor senses change in axis position and accelerated movement. In the event of a drop or fall, the Sudden Motion Sensor instantly parks the hard drive heads so they won’t scratch the disks on impact, lessening the risk of damage and improving your chances of retrieving valuable data. When the Sudden Motion Sensor senses your PowerBook is once again level, it unlocks the hard drive heads automatically.

32 days, as I only bought the Cube in late December....

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Anyone know a quick way to determine what blocks of IP addresses are allocated to who? I actually only need one example, like "IP addresses 222.222.222.222 to 233.233.233.233" are assigned to AOL", and I know I've found it before using something like a Whois, but I can't remember how.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The three main IP address registries are ARIN, RIPE, and APNIC.

Okay, once I figured out I had to search by IP address rather than domain name, I was set. Thanks, Tom.

More abusing you smart people for my own nefarious purposes:

Are IP addresses used only when you're communicating through the Internet, or would they also be used in, say, a local network? When I talk to the network printer, am I using an IP address?
