Logs

[ciphergoth]

Watching the logs for http://www.2002.bicon.org.uk/ is doing my head in.

"ah, here's another visitor brought in from the Bi Manchester diary... hmm, they're going for the news page, will they read the archives?... no, they're going for the "about" page ... now click on the "book" page, go on!... no, they've gone for "venue" ... ok, now you know how lovely the venue is, click on "book", download a booking form!

[wait]

oh well, they seem to have gone away. Here comes another one in from bicon.bi.org... they've gone straight for "book.html", and now "forms.html", will they download a booking form?

YESSS! direct hit on the PDF booking form, hurrah!"

(get them in the post by Thursday!)

You'd never catch me doing a thing like that...

[wechsler@io ~]$ cat ./cylog
tail -f domains/logs/cyclists.org.uk_access_log | grep -v '/images/'

... damn ...

i like to set up a load of "tailblah" scripts for all the different logs, so i can tab complete from "tail" and choose which log i want.. latest server i've set up has 16 :)

Do something more useful - write some code that plays a sound whenever anyone downloads the form! And change the 404 page to a big sign that says BOOK NOW!

Not a geek thing :

*laughs* and i still don't know how anyone can do that. you must just all rock, or something. oh well *g*

*blows kisses* thankee, love :-)

This might be some new meaning of the word 'useful' of which I was not previously aware...

Does it scare anyone else that I guessed that? ;)

[adjectivegail]

*laughs* yes, it scares me lots. then again, i think just generally you all scare me lots ;-)

but, thank you for enlightening me :-)

[duranorak.livejournal.com]

Oh, he's not scary. ~smile~ He just has scary friends. ~grin~

Besides, I got it, too. Am I scaring you now?

[adjectivegail]

LOL you've always scared me.

okay, so that's not true. but still. to some degree, yes, your intelligence scares me :-)

[duranorak.livejournal.com]

But...but...but...I'm just cute and fluffy!
Honest!

~evil laugh TM~

Still not as scary as his friends.

You may well be geek enough, you're just too young to recognise GROGGS jargon when you see it. Not that it spread all that far outside Cambridge anyway, although the original quote's fairly well-known, I think. ;-)

[adjectivegail]

*laughs* ah yes, i see. having never read Douglas Adams either, i was at more of a disadvantage than i realized. but thank you... *reads site* *laughs lots*

We actually get hardly any 404s...

[lapis-lazuli.livejournal.com]

Change the 404 message to BOOK NOW, and then rename your index page? ;)

[lapis-lazuli.livejournal.com]

(er... and include the appropriate links on the 404 page, of course!)

[adjectivemarcus.livejournal.com]

Cool userpic!
Hey, I've booked already, just wanted to contribute

[giolla.livejournal.com]

Everyone will book about 2 weeks before the final final, no really is final, deadline.

[lovingboth]

Ha!

[ciphergoth.livejournal.com]

Things are a bit better for us because we have an early booking discount...

[adjectivemarcus.livejournal.com]

It's less true, but probably still going to be true then, ;o)
