GeekCast
Recently I decided to create an screencast for an article I was writing. After a while I was thinking about how I would publish the screencast. I wanted to keep track of views, being able to easily include my video on other pages. The code I was writing was directly extending the existing framework on geekmonkey.org. As there were so many things to implement I moved all the code out of the framework and into a new project now named "GeekCast".
LiveSearch Analysis
For a few months now Microsoft's Live Search is leaving referral urls with one keyword in logfiles around the world. Such automated queries always include the string "form=QBHP" and are usually coming directly after the normal crawl bot. After a while watching this happen I noticed that the given keyword always has a relation to the page visited by the bot and is most likely one of the top keyword for this page. Today I started writing a small PHP script which logs the submitted keywords in a SQLite database and lists them for analysis. The script does a reverse lookup to confirm the identity of the bot. It can be downloaded here. Installation instructions included.
liteCount - Beta
A few weeks ago I introduced liteCount on geekmonkey.org. Now that it becomes stable and gives good results I make it available here. The ToDo list is still long, as I want to filter the search engines in the results.
Finally
..c0demonkey.com is up again. It took only a few seconds and the old design was gone, but you can still see it in the "Designs" section of this page. The source of this website is based upon a self-written php5 framework, which supports easy implementable modules and event handling. If you attempt to hack the page, the monkey will eat you! :-)
Have fun!
