Finally stats on LiveJournal

Couple of hours of hack was worth it. I finally managed to write a script which automatically embeds a img tag in the post with the Unique ItemID as part of the URL. So if you have your own webserver, or have access to some webserver with CGI access, then you could use this to keep track of the number of hits for each of your individual posts (along with all the usual referrer, IP ,UserAgent etc). Just download this script and fill in your $username, $password and $post_url (The URL where you want the Post ID/Item ID to be…

I have been Slashdotted

W00t! For those of you who dont know, last week a new worm hit the Internet. This one like the previous ones, would spread by bombarding people from outlook express’s address book. However this was just one of the things the worm was equipped with. It would also setup a smtp server on your machine and use that server as an open relay to send out thousands of mails. Its also connects to IRC channels and builds tons of botnets, waiting for an instruction to be sent. It also builds up these bots via AOl Instant messenger. Another feature that…

blah

Woke up today and realized I could not speak out a word. My throat was totally screwed. I think prady called me up in the morning. He could not hear/understand what I was trying to say. Added to that, hunger and bad sleeping hours is killing me. Need to get back to normal and should not try to attempt to wake up at 9am. Aatmatrisha went by this time. I might go there tomorrow, If i find some company that is. The frag-fest was canceled too. Looks like another lazy weekend headed my way. Atleast this is the F1 weekend….

Another one bites the dust

So today another one of those outlook virus/worm whatever breaks out. I did not hear it till tariquesani pinged me about it. Though I get paged for ddos attacks or worms like the Slammer ones, I did not know about this at all. Anyway this new virus apparently connects to a Geocities site and gets regular updates for itself. I was pretty suprised coz I had not received any mails about it. So after contacting Kaspersky Labs, I came to know the site was this. Pretty Interesting because this site does not exist and the username was never created with…

no hope for me

Since I’ve been sleeping at 5am everyday for this week, I got used to that time, and now I am not getting sleep. Its almost like a jet lag. Been trying to sleep since the last 2 hours and haven’t had any luck. Looks like I will need to catch some sleep in the afternoon. To make things worse, I cant find any food in the house… 🙁 Watched Titan AE, the graphics and sound sucked, though the storyline was pretty decent

Blackhole week

Even though I’ve spent more then usual amount of time at work this week, did not get anything done. I think the last time I got some decent work done was on last Sunday night, when I did not get sleep. The worst part is the fact that I don’t know why I could not get work done.. I was under the impression that the fragfest at snagappa‘s place was tonight. Hate to miss the fragfest’s. I just hope next week starts off well …

what is journal all about ?

After my previous post (which now is friends only), someone out there found it *inappropriate*. This was the mail I got from the person, and here is my reply : A public post, with a incredibly crude porn link in it? Porn ? hmmm.. I find it much more decent then few of the comments that get on here in my friends journals. Also there are many people in my friends list on LJ who are subscribed to many communities, which for some can be “inappropriate”. Why dont they get flamed ? Is this what you think a journal is…

RSS feeds from blogspot ?

Does anyone know how to get a RSS feed out of a blog at blogspot ? There are couple of good ones there, and I could not find a RSS link anywhere. Came across Dirty Whore Diary today. As the site says its “The reality and fantasies of an ordinary woman, who no one would suspect is really a filthy slut.”. A *must* read.
