Pixy, on the Munu index, my friend can't find Kabuki Mookie. Is it limited access or something? Is there a way i can fix it or something?

MuNu Counter!

Who needs Sitemeter? Or Statcounter?

Look!

Up in the sky!

Is it a gif?

Is it a Javascript?

No!

It's MUNU COUNTER!

Just add this to your templates in the appropriate place:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="http://counter.mu.nu/count.js"></script>
<noscript><img src="http://counter.mu.nu/count.gif" border="0"></noscript>
Stand up and be counted!

Unfortunately, right now only I can see the stats, but I'll write I have written a little script to publish them periodically at counter.mu.nu.

MuNu Counter

Following Stevie's advice, I'm giving StaCounter a try. It's like Sitemeter, only apparently it works.

Anyway, one thing it does that Sitemeter doesn't (unless you pay them) is invisible counters. So I was thinking of having a MuNu-wide counter so we can see how many hits we get altogether.

What do you think?

Update There's just one tiny little problem:

If your website is getting over 250,000 pageloads a month (8,000 pageloads a day) you may not insert this code. We are waiting on additional hardware in February to further increase the capacity of the service.
Since Ambient Irony alone does up to 1400 pageloads a day (more usually, about 600) that's probably not going to work.

Oh well.

I am sorry for the alarm

I made a statement on my blog as a subterfuge to my attackers that said my site was being hacked. Such was untrue. I was not mindful that such also showed up in the recent posts column here on Munuviana and such might have possible caused a panic among the docile denizens hereof. My sincerest apologies for my error.

World domination

I'm kinda enjoying the Nation States thingy. If I get some time, I'll unleash my Inner Loser and start some of the RPG'ing going on in the forums.

Anyway, I've noticed each day it ranks your country in some way, and compares that to the world and to your region. Today's is Compassion ("Exhaustive UN tests involving kittens revealed the following nations to be the most compassionate," was the method used) and for once, The Protectorate of Publian Rats was high up in the list as Most Compassionate, at number three. Xsetian was number one, and DFMoore number two.

I must say, I was quite surprised at who was dead last, but after thinking about it for a bit...I'm no longer that surprised.

Who gave what?

Check out this site

It's called Fundrace.com and you can look to see how much people you know gave to political campaigns.

For instance:

Steve Wozniak
CEO
Wheels of Zeus
Howard Dean
$2,000
300 Santa Rosa Dr
Los Gatos, CA 95032

Creepy?

Anyone know about reverse DNS?

I have frontiernet for an ISP and I am going to find them and bash their little stupid skulls in (figuratively speaking of course).

All of a sudden they are now requiring all incoming emails from email servers to have reverse DNS enabled. That is good and all, but I got not prior notice, and now no one, except other frontiernet email accounts can send to me. This includes people in the Pennsylvnia state government who are supposed to be emailing me time sensative materials.

After waiting 15 minutes on hold to talk to a guy, I found out that I have to notify all my people who email me and have THEM contact THEIR ISPs so THEY can fix the problem.

It really pisses me off that I have to call my co-workers and people I work with and inconvenience them to fix what is my ISPs problem.

Can anyone explain this to me more than I alreay probally misunderstand it?

Hey! Wha' Happened?

All of a sudden, overnight, I went from Large Mammel to Flappy Bird in the Ecosystem. I had 115 links yesterday, and today I have 20?

What is that crazy bear doing?

In Our Good Name

Kudos to Sarah and Pixie for taking action in the spirit of our better nature as Munuvians. This typifies one of the many reasons I am glad I was invited to join this group.

I'M A JERK!

I just got this email from a reader:

Hi Sarah,

I posted a comment yesterday to this entry: blah blah

I was refused on the first attempt with the following message:

"Your comment could not be submitted, possibly because you suck. If you're not a spammer, try making your comment look less like spam. My allergies have cleared up fine, thank you. Oh, and if you are a spammer, piss off. (By the way, your comment looked like spam for serenade.splinder.it to me, because you said "serenade.splinder.it".)"

Now http://serenade.splinder.it is my personal blog, not spam at all - and I see other people posted their own blog URLs. I think your spam filter is being a little too aggressive...

Holy crap. I don't have so many readers that I can afford to piss new ones off! I couldn't find a way to make my comments section more friendly. Help?

Nation Building

The great Republic of DFMoore has been created, in the region of Munuviana (started not by me, but by Rob at XSet).

Come one, come all. You can start your own nation and then to move from the Pacific to Munuviana, simply click on Pacific (on the left) then "move to a new region" and search for Munuviana...

Trackbacks

Pixy and anyone else who knows about this stuff (that means you, Jim):

Sure we're still waiting for the secrets of setting up these subfolders. But I've another question. I wrote a post with several pings in it, but those to a couple of Munu and similarly setup blogs had an error in sending the ping to the permalink. I went back and adjusted the pings to the URL for the trackbacks, but why do I need to do that? Is there some reason it doesn't ping normally to the permalink (admittedly there were several pings in the post and the others all worked)? It's happened to me before. This time I even took the trouble to add the URL to the 'Ping URL' bit at the bottom but it only worked with the trackback URLs. Any ideas?

UPDATE: I just discovered that the pings I sent to the Typepad based blogs didn't work either! I even got an error saying I was sending the Typepad pings too quickly and I had to resave the entry three times before they all went. Why is the URL to send trackbacks to different to the permalink and is there an easy way to do this?

I just want people to feel the linky-love.

Forums Mk. iII

Having played with PHP-Nuke a bit, I've decided I don't like it much. The only bit that works really well are the forums, and they are really just phpBB, only broken in a couple of places. Since I already have a not broken phpBB forum running, it seems simpler just to use that.

Anyway, I've spoken with the lovely Renata, who runs the current forums, and she agrees that it would be best just to have a single set of MuNu forums. The forums will be broken into two parts - the existing forums (Renata's World) and the new ones (Munuvian Underground). People joining the forums can subscribe to one or another or both. Actually, we might streamline that a bit.

Anyway...

I have a cold and my brain is all stuffed up.

Apart from that, you can trot over to the MuNu forums and register. Let me know when you've signed up, so I can make you all moderators of your individual forums. After registering, you'll also need to go to the Usergroups page (there's a little button near the top of the forum page) and sign up for the Munuvian Underground group.

I know a couple of you are already registered. Susie is already set up; if there's anyone else there I can't find you.

This one's for real, so... Do whatever you want! If anyone actually doesn't want a forum, let me know, but they're all created already and rarin' to go.

Hello from a blogger refugee

Hello everyone!

Big thanks to Pixy Misa for making this move possible.

I've read the instructions, and they seem simple:

a) read the instructions
b) read them again
c) replenish coffee
d) remember there's a dirty plate in the sink and wash it
e) read the instructions
f) decide laundry Must Be Done

Have I missed anything?

One dumb question: after I copy the Blogger template, where do I save it?

UPDATE: Thanks to Jim and the Rubber Chicken, I think I'm getting it. I need to confirm what I think I know with Pixy Misa, but I'm posting.

Thanks to all for the encouragement!

June 15, 2005 - I can be so dumb. I only just figured out how to stop the spam comments.

Waiting time

Pixy, I know you're a busy man, what with your mega computer doing all sorts of things it shouldn't, plus that visit from that Bunny. But I've still got pieces of phengometer and interociter all over the place. Any chance of some help...? The worst of it is I think I have an inkling of what needs to be done, which means I really have no idea at all.
