Amen to that. Do androids dream of electric sheep?

Actually the bots and spiders are pretty cool. These little bits of code are all over the net, crawling through web sites. That's how the search engines work. The bots traverse the web gathering data and we just "google it"!
But then you prolly knew that...

What !!!

Evening Stoners!!! Anyone seen the new Ken Block Ford Fiesta video!! Use the 5.1

Morning Stoners.
tE That's one of the few times I've seen the word Hoonigan without the usual prefix "F'king" .
Glad to see them gaining legitimacy. They've been competing with bikers down under for baddest boys on the road title for a long time.
Great video, great views of Dubai. Gotta love those
Blue Blue, Blue Suede Shoes.
I wonder how many workers it took to get all that rubber up off those pristine streets?

"Google" it.
The newest verb in our vocabulary. We never "AOL'd or Yahoo'd. I never "Compuserved" anything. It was always, "Keyword" such and such.
It's funny what things stick and what doesn't.

I wonder if the bots are indexing everything or is each on a specific search?

Got this from a webmaster site i belong to:

What are Bots and Spiders?

The first thing to understand is just what a Bot or Spider is. They are basically automated computer programs, not people, that are hitting your website. They do it for various reasons.

Sometimes it’s a search engine looking to list your content on their site. Sometimes it’s a program looking to see if your blog has new content so they can let someone know in their news reader. Sometimes it’s a service that YOU have hired to make sure that your server is up, that it’s loading speed is normal, etc.

Some of the more basic bots don’t run code on your site, like the JavaScript that Google Analytics requires, so you don’t see them in your traffic reports. You will however, see them in your server logs if you have access to those. Many web hosts will charge by the hit on the server, based on their server logs.

Some sites, like LunaMetrics, get tons of these hits that we only have evidence of on the server log level. All you people who have automated services pinging our servers looking for new posts every few seconds are essentially costing us money. It’s ok, we don’t mind. It doesn’t screw up our analytics data.

Interesting. There are all sorts doing all kinds of stuff. Used to be a pita when analytics were involved and the data could be heavily skewed as a result of their traffic.

I don't understand how they consider the pings as costing money, phrased as if it was wasting their money. As opposed to just overhead that goes with running a forum.

With Stephen King in on the story line.
Actually Richard Bachman. Every movie they made from his ghosted book butchered the story lines. Running Man, Road Work, Rage. Thinner wasn't too bad.

Bachman should be associated with one memorable film, even if its just a collaboration.
