Aug 28, 2002: The Index of Evil? (link | trackback: 0)
Time: 11:14 - Mood: Thoughtful - Location: Work - Now playing: n/a

I just came across an interesting entry in my logs just now:

66.111.194.10 - - [28/Aug/2002:07:02:59 -0400] "GET /journal.cgi HTTP/1.0" 200 29033 "-" "EvilBot (www.warblogging.com) - lwp-trivial/1.35"

I was curious, so I went and took a look around the site. Turns out that the site in question has what it calls an "Index of Evil" at the top-right corner. Clicking on the heading brings you to an explanation of how it works. Basically, it searches updated weblogs using the index from Weblogs.com for the words "Ashcroft", "Hussein", "Saddam" or "Osama" and keeps a tally of how many times they're mentioned. It does this every hour. Yes, because I've just mentioned all four words, I expect they'll all go up one.

All I can say to it is "Hmm". Interesting concept, but... why? :/
