dki's Journal: Fun with logs

So I took the opportunity to check the logs on my website tonight (I do this rather regularly). The lesson I learned from this routine task is that when I post on slashdot, apparently a lot of people hit my site to check it out. I imagine they are rather disappointed. Most seem to be looking for pictures of me (I can only imagine of what nature) as I have a slew of 404's from visitors trying to randomly guess names of pages and directories where such pictures might be (nice tries all, but I don't keep pictures of myself on the website). Persistant buggers. I did appreciate the person who left the little "slashdotted_bah" message for me - I'm glad I'm not the only one who leaves messages for people in their logs! Of course, leaving messages here would work better - I might actually respond.
