Is there a tool that allows you to see a list of all the web pages that contain links to your web page? I am sorry if this is a really dumb question.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Not outside of the NSA. :)

You can look at your server's referrer logs to see where folks have been linked to your pages from, but that won't show you any pages where there's a link posted that no one has clicked on yet.

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

Or if you just happen to be Google.

Speaking of which, can you google (or otherwise search) for a URL itself, rather than the text of a link? i.e. the stuff in the href quotes?

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

If you google the URL, you get the following options:

The Phoenix Board

www.buffistas.org/

Google can show you the following information for this URL:
Show Google's cache of buffistas.org
Find web pages that are similar to buffistas.org
Find web pages that link to buffistas.org
Find web pages from the site buffistas.org
Find web pages that contain the term "buffistas.org"

Or you can just search on the term link:www.buffistas.org/

Art Crawl!!!

I just installed the most recent version of flash, you know, so I could go see scores on the Wimbledon site while I am at home and so I can vote on the Rock Star site.

Well, the version I installed was 9.something and at least one of those sites tells me that it needs version 8.

Shouldn't those sites play with the more recent version too?

What do Buffistas think of the Canon Powershot A530?

move out and draw fire

I was going to recommend the Canon Powershot. I've got the A85 (old skool, yo) and it's been really good. Great on battery life, easy to carry so I actually take photos.

Thanks, Raq. It's come highly recommended from just about everyone, so that's what I'm getting.
