This Just Made My Day MUCH Better
Not too long ago... although it's ages ago in internet time... One of my favorite bloggers kinda fell off the face of the blogosphere. It was very sad. Just tonight I was spending a little bit of time glancing through blogs I thought she might comment at... yeah, I got to 1 whole blog and then had to stop and do a few other things. I was going to get back to it later tonight... but then SHE APPEARED!
Out of the blue and in the comments... If you read her before, you'll know her again. So, my newest addition to the blogroll is "Liv" at A Waste of Biomass! Welcome back Liv - I'm so glad to "see" you again.

Flattered to be on her blogroll, but haven't a clue as to identity.
Maybe you can whisper it to me ;-)

Thanks! It's so great to be back! I'm sorry I fell off the planet; things were a little crazy.

Strange Doings on the Stat Counter
Has anyone else seen something similar to this? My Stat Counter has been listing a HUGE number of hits from a Comcast address (WinXP box) in DeKalb, IL. That's the only info I get, no referring link or even what page it loads or anything like that. So far this has been going on for the last 3 days with upwards of 300 hits a day. (makes the stats look good... but I'm hardly that popular!)
Over at Sitemeter - it's showing 56 hits for the day... hmmm. (Yeah this one is WAY more believable) I wonder what's going on. Anyone else run into this?

Yes, I had the same thing. I blocked the IP address from my site, and the hits went back to normal. It showed up as constant reloads on one of my statistics meters.
I don't know what it was, I blocked them because I wasn't sure if they were probing for weaknesses or trying to do a denial of service attack.

Thanks Jack! I banned it, now I'll see how that works. It doesn't give me much faith in Sitemeter that they don't show any of those hits! If it wasn't for Stat Counter I wouldn't even have known about it.

I used the CPANEL on my web host to block the IP, not the MovableType "ban IP" function. I think the MovableType banning just stops them from commenting, not from reading or downloading the page.
I first thought there was somebody with an odd browser that was constantly reloading the page every 8 or 12 minutes or so. Then when it lasted for 3 days, I began to suspect foul play. I still don't know what was up, but it happening to you, too, makes me wonder even more.

Heh - I always forget about Cpanel! I'll try that. I may write to Comcast too and send them the IP address - they should look into the customer sending out all these probes.
