The little problem I had with this site a while back prompted me to make some MATLAB tools to parse Apache web server log files. They were very useful then, but I never got back to them.

This morning, I took another look at the logs, specifically the 700-or-so queries from the last nine months. My name shows up a lot, as does MATLAB. No surprises yet. There’s a lot of “Mather Sex” !?! The New York Times‘ David Brooks is slightly more popular here, though; I guess a lot of people want to read what he says for free.

Here are some of the other interesting search terms:

  • “Are Sikhs Hindu?” — It depends on who you ask.
  • Camoflauge and “wedding announcement”
  • Exploration of British North America
