I added a 10 latest referrals and highest 3 in total referrals to the bottom right sash of my webpage.

Here’s the source, it’s pretty straightforward…

SQL for the database:
CREATE TABLE `referrals` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`url` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`loads` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`last` varchar(15) NOT NULL default '',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) TYPE=MyISAM ;


referrers.php (included in the main page)

Feel free to use it without notifying me… that’s why I posted it. The only thing you should have to do to make it work for your site is change
if($ref != "" & !strpos($ref, "raybdbomb.com") & !strpos($ref, "raydehler.com"))
to
if($ref != "" & !strpos($ref, "{yourdomain}") ) where {yourdomain} corresponds to your domain name.

Also, be advised that not all browsers respect the HTTP_REFERER server tag (sic), in fact I had 5 attempts earlier today from a referral spoofer.

Robin Kagi, mother of my fiancée, Kessa went through Lasik corrective eye surgery on 1/26/2005. She has documented the whole event including every day afterwards.

Apparently her ‘reaction’ (or rather their ‘failure’ as some might think) happens in only 1 or 2 cases per year, so results are not typical.

Either way, sucks that it happened.

I was getting this message with Gentoo’s (Linux) 2004.3 livecd:

Started device management daemon v1.3.25 for newroot/dev
>> Attempting to mount CD:- /newroot/dev/cdroms/cdrom0

BusyBox v1.00-pre7 (2004.07.21-17:47+0000) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter ‘help’ for a list of built-in commands

/bin/ash: can’t access tty; job control turned off
/ #

I figured out the fix was on bootup to specify ide=nodma on boot, so the full command is
gentoo ide=nodma

This allows it to boot (took me about a half hour to figure out).

I’m investigating automation of connecting to a pop3s sever like gmail so I can do blogging by e-mails (pop3s).

It looks to me (as far as I can see) that there is thus far no support for it.

I’ll have to look a little deeper…

I’ve used torrentflux for a few months and am extremely pleased with how it’s been to me.
