I was looking through my access logs this morning because I had some time and it’s a fun, relaxing thing to do on a friday morning, and it is a healthy habit. I discovered something very surprising about my Debian MPlayer How-To<\/a>:<\/p>\n

(elizabeth@r2q5) \/var\/log\/apache $ grep “GET \/MPlayer.html” access.log | wc -l
\n 676<\/p>\n

Nice. That access log covers about 5 days of traffic to my site, nearly 700 hits in 5 days to ONE site! But not *that* many are downloading the tools are they? *picks biggest codec*<\/p>\n

(elizabeth@r2q5) \/var\/log\/apache $ grep win32codecs.tar.bz2 access.log | wc -l
\n 108<\/p>\n

Now, while that’s not too bad, I think it is a problem. I have a bunch of tools to download on that page, which total about 14 mb, I’m serving 14mb about 20 times a day for just that one page of my high-traffic site, and it doesn’t appear to be slowing. So I have put a message on my mplayer page asking for mirrors of these files. At first I felt a little guilty asking for mirrors, but people do it all the time, it’s a better option than closing down the site and cutting off all the people who could benefit from it. <\/p>\n

Here are some other big winners from those 5 days of logs:<\/p>\n

\/Isabella.html<\/a> – 165
\n\/Sailormoon.html<\/a> – 161
\n\/Living.html<\/a> – 119<\/p>\n

Nothing comes close to the mplayer how to.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Sailormoon.html I finally got around to putting up my revisions. Like I mentioned in a post a while back I decided to redo it because of all the traffic it was getting, and the old version looked really lousy (I made it back in 2000 or so). I started by converting it all to PHP, so that the menu, header and footer would be easy to change, but then I realized that these sites have tons of google juice, and I really don’t want to take the time to point all these to other files (.php rather than .html). It’s not like my other pages that I’ve converted recently, like the #13thHour page that I’ll be changing often. I probably won’t change the Sailor Moon page, I’m not really intersted in it anymore. I’m happy with how it looks now.<\/p>\n

We had the Philly Chix meeting last night. It was a really great meeting, 5 of us showed up! Yay! Now we’ve tied for the most populated meeting. It is also always interested into know what we all have in common outside of computers, we’re all just all around geeky. I think the meeting did a lot to cheer me up too, I missed spending “real life” time with friends, the last time we did was on New Years at the lan party. We’ve just been so busy.<\/p>\n

It’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow. I’m not entirely sure what we’re planning, a nice dinner out somewhere. We’re getting a cord of wood delivered in the morning so we’ll be able to have our first fire in our newly bricked fireplace! I’m excited, it’s a big fireplace, and it’ll be nice to be able to snuggle in front of it on Valentine’s day %D<\/p>\n

I guess that’s it for now, I have some work to do. *wanders off*<\/p>\n
