I can't believe it...
The presidential campaign (A process which I directly oppose in the first place,) has come up with a new way of advertising... By accessing pages using a false referrer line in the header they can lace my logs (and if they're lucky my stats page) with a desired target URL. In this particular example the URL for the John Kerry campaign blog was laced into my stats. Now, because both accesses are from AOL IP addresses, I can't be sure if was actually paid for by Kerry, as it suggests in the invalid UserAgent field, or if it was someone acting independently to either spread the word about him, or defame him by this... Well, basic attack on my system. Because of all of this, all I can do is laugh at the fact that they would use such an approach to advertise. I really wouldn't have thought about it.
But they're not the only one's advertising that way... Apparently someone who runs a Paris Hilton sex video site has been really spamming my logs trying to draw some traffic. The only thing that bothers me is that there's nothing I could do to stop this unwanted traffic.
Oh well... I'll just have to remember that not all links are favorable. However, I did get an interesting link from a page citing most popular pages and who was referring to them (I was a referrer, not a referred to page... But that doesn't really bother me.) It means that people out there do know that Motoko exists.
Oh and welcome to the day that time only remembers once in a while... Feb 29th... The 366th day of the year... (Immediately followed by the 61st day and preceded by the 60th day... :)
