Server Update

The server is slowly being restored after starting over, as I look through error logs to find frequently accessed broken links and the like. Some interesting things I've discovered:

• Lots of people use peer-to-peer filesharing over port 80 -- these requests make up a large majority of my 404s.I was puzzled why so many people kept trying to access uri-res/N2R.
  
• When running an install of Movable Type, make sure that Javascript is enabled on your web browser. If you don't enable Javascript, Movable Type will just hang on mt-upgrade.cgi in the "Initializing Movable Type" step indefinitely.
  
• mt-static/user_styles.css is a css file to allow for further customization of the Movable Type interface. It is missing from the installation package, but if you just place an empty file titled user_styles.css in your mt-static folder, all those 404s showing up in the log everytime Movable Type runs goes away.
  
• MSNBot is a quite the busy web crawler. In a little less than 2 days, 75 MB of files have been downloaded by this spider. Yahoo Slurp comes in second place with 9MB, and Google takes third at 6MB.
  
• People still use Amigas.
  

I find it pretty amazing that Amiga OS shows up on there -- I wonder what browser it uses? Firefox, Mozilla and Opera are up there too, with a thin margin between the three.

UPDATE:Good news! I've managed to locate an old backup of my blog from November of '05. I'm still short 10 months, but this will speed up the restoration greatly!
