I was looking at the web server stats for kallewoof.com and saw the various search terms which have lead people to this site. There are hundreds unlisted, but the most common 20 ones are. Some are completely out of the blue. I had no idea why someone searching for “ass show” would end up here, but they did, and you too will know why if you read on! Excited yet?

#1 + 10. Guguru

Guguru is the Japanese romanified version of “to google”.

#2-4, 6-7. javascript stack trace

Well, code stuff. I wrote code sometime ago that imitates stack trace in javascript, and it seems to be a very needed feature. Hopefully Firefox implements a real feature soon, as I’m not entirely satisfied with what I wrote.

#5. allinurl: admin/install.php
#16. inurl:wp admin/install.php

Ah right. Some fucking retards kept going in and “installing” my blog when I tried to move it over to DreamHost. (I had to wait for NS stuff to update before *I* could access it myself.) Note to self (and others): When moving a blog or similar from one domain to another, put up a simple html page on the receiving end saying you’re undergoing a transfer and to check back later. When the DNS stuff has updated, do the blog installation stuff. People are literally hunting for blogs they can “take over” by running the WordPress install script.

#8. we real cool
#11. we real cool theme

Random poem I posted called “we real cool”. People keep searching on that sentence (well, 3 searches this month) though I don’t know why. #11 suggests it’s a movie maybe? IMDB does not ring a dinner bell, nor do the dogs salivate.

#9. it.works wired keyboard update

Someone had trouble with their keyboards and unfortunately ended up on my Windows-debunking spree. Ouch.

#12. foggy window

I think this one is because of my fog picture I threw up sometime ago. ‘Cept I can’t find that picture.

#13. firefox arguments
#18. firefox keywords

A tutorial on the feature in question, which Keith (in comments) notes is a lot easier than what I am describing there. (I should update that tutorial.)

#14. ass show

You knew it would come sooner or later. This in fact refers to the expression “kick ass show” that I use in this post. Sorry to disappoint, but no ass shows here!

#15. spammers speak crank calls

Ah yea, that thing a year ago where some weird recorded message was replayed to me on the phone EVERY MORNING about me having evaded taxes and crap. Luckily I’m a law abiding lad (cause it’s so tempting in a socialist country to evade taxes “a little”).

#17. online cinema

Hope they found what they were looking for. (In other words, hope they went “omfg i dun wanna be here i wanna be HERE“.)

#19. mou xinsheng

This is The Mystery Guy. No clue who he is but he keeps appearing, and in fact, he seems to be waging a war against himself.

#20. ano ne means

“Ano ne”, or 「あのね」means “you know…?” or is a simple prompt to make the listener listen up, sort of like “hey…” before a sentence. It somewhat softens what is being said depending on how it is being said.

Most of these searches have only 2 entries except the top ones, but I keep seeing them over and over. I guess part of the point I want to make here is the amount I as the administrator see. With some deducting, it’s easy to figure out a lot of things about the visitors. For example, I see a lot of hits from a Google translation page into Japanese, which indicates my girlfriend is reading this blog (she hasn’t told me straight out that she does, but I have given her the URL, so nothing odd about that). It could also mean that some completely different person is for some reason intrigued by this blog, but I haven’t a clue why that would be.

Those of you who can, would love to see what people search for on your sites (and why you think that is). You livejournalers probably can’t access that kind of information.

3 days late, but in light of Microsoft’s abrupt statement that they hold a bunch of patents which are breached by Linux, Sun’s CEO wrote a very nicely worded thing about it on his blog: http://blogs.sun.com/jonathan/date/20070521

“OITA[, Japan] — A 79-year-old man who was ordered to appear in a summary court on a drink-driving charge faces new charges for driving to the court under the influence of alcohol, it has been learned.”

Oops. What did I set my encrypted password wallet to again…?

(Sorry for the “spam” btw — the mechanism for discovering changes hiccoughed when I switched servers so the 10-15 or so last entries were suddenly re-submitted to the globe.)

Blog went down a couple of days before I realized why I kept getting the old host (hard-coded /etc/hosts ftw!). Now on DreamHost, instead of Enrogue, so this blog might survive after all.

Yesterday I switched to DreamHost and today I am switching even more. (I didn’t realize I could have more than one domain on a single account — d’uh!) So, this blog shall perish for a little while as it is moved over to DreamHost. See you on the flip side!

I’ve testily moved one of my domains over to DreamHost. I’ve for some reason been reading their blog for the last year or so, and when they mentioned a promo code with $50 off I couldn’t help myself.
Once the domain actually has content, I’ll let you know the URL. I don’t believe I’ll be able to continue  using both this one and that, so when the time comes, this domain will take a nap, so to say. (I’ll still pay for the domain but I won’t pay for hosting and I won’t have a server.)

Explosives: “the concept behind explosives revolves around the volume change which occurs when a component in solid or liquid form changes into gas form. Explosives of decent quality in solid form will change into gas form in a very short amount of time. In mines ammoniumnitrate mixed with diesel oil is used”*

*) Not using proper chemistry terms, no.

For example in mines they use ammoniumnitrate (NH4NO3). 25 kgs of NH4NO3 results in something like 70 m³ of “gas” (N2, O2, H2O), though this is a presumption based on the temperature of the resulting gasses reaching ~450 C. During a more powerful detonation the released gasses can reach several thousand degrees, at which point they generate a shock wave spreading faster than the speed of sound.

(This all is more or less copied and poorly translated from my chemistry book — I just thought it was kind of amusing that they went into such amount of detail over explosives. And noMrBushImNotOutToGetYou.)
