The software that I use to generate the photo albums has started being annoying and inserts javascript that generates a “Built with XXX, Click here to buy a license” soft-popup in the album pages. It’s annoying as feck. I set about to do something geeky about it and came up with this:

find . -name "*.html" -execdir sed -i -n '1h;1!H;${;g;s/<script type.*CDATA*</script>//g;p;}' {} +

This little snippet checks the thousand of HTML picture slide files that I have and just removes the offending bit of HTML, all in one line that takes about 30 seconds to execute.

I love linux.

Once in a while, I check my website usage stats. It never fails to amaze me. This website is, for lack of a better description, an I-Love-Me affair where I post things that I want to remember or stuff that I like. Yet, on average, 635 people visit daily, which means over 2000 daily page views, or 12000+ daily hits. Now slashdot this ain’t, but it’s still fairly impressive :) Also, considering that the blog is crossposted to FB, the actual usage stats might actually be higher. People stumble onto my website from all over the world.

What’s even more interesting though, are the google search terms that people use to wind up on my blog. I did a quick check and, for the last year, the top search term has consistently been “porn”. Which is odd, considering that there isn’t any. Other perennial favourites are:

• playfur
• beeker
• train cake
• lolcats
• meanwhile in canada
• fabio napoleoni
• fabian perez
• todd white
• remi labarre

and for reasons that I don’t get, “michel roux lemon tart” is always somewhere up in the top 5.

There are also some really random ones:

dalek porn
canadian beer
debugging is a state of mind
keep calm and drink wine

and a new one for me: nyotaimori The link is rather NSFW.

I tried a tool called myscriptfont.com to convert my handwriting into a TTF font. It’s not half bad. The letter heights are a bit all over the place. but the results are still surprisingly good considering it took me the whole of 5 minutes to do!
