Found a great two part blog entry on teaching a 6 year old to program.

I liked part two the best because it contained all kinds of funny nuggets. Firstly, after being a Mac Programmer for 12 years, I was surprised and glad to see this comment:”But the Mac is Unix. It is a hacker’s system.”

I’ve been getting spam referrers in my referrer list for the past few days. I already have a list of domains/URLs that don’t make it onto my page of referrers. They are in my log file, but don’t show up on the page when you look at the list.

Here’s a break [...]

I did a major rewrite of the search word referrer script I got from scriptygodness.

What this does is read a file that contains URLs, assumably referring URLs, and generates the HTML. I am currently using the lgf script above to generate the file. I’ll be working on one of my own soon.

The original script called [...]
