opendir poetry

Last week I noticed that the site was getting more hits than usual. Why?? I had no idea.

Suddenly I saw that my simple ‘opendir’ entry was picked up my several weblogs. Today I discovered that even boingboing had mentioned it.

I like the way it’s described:
Simple and sweet, a sort of minimalist web/joke/poem/object. No Flash required, no high bandwidth required
& I like the comments ;-)

The idea came as easy as the output is: some weblogs here in my country do look for opendir’s to find silly images of people and make fun of them. Oh hell have fun I thought .. ;-)

Interesting for me is to see how this entry shows up at blogdex & popdex ..

Webcam project

I’m still trying to give my webcam project a boost. ;-)

I’ve 2 USB cams’ running @ home, from which one is RCM controlled
However I want to have a number of NETWORK Camera’s running to show more. The only problem is that I need a sponsor for this otherwise it would be too much expensive.

I’ve seen Axis is sponsoring Digilife. Way to go! More wholesalers/distributors should do.
The 2 websites we run do have more than 1800 hits a day.

So stupid request: who want to sponsor AMR ?

having fun

Having fun with looking at referer’s. Give’s me more information about visitors and what they are interested in. With this I can experiment with .htaccess files.
which I did today. It’s working.

HTACCESS Help needed

I’ve htaccess running at my local server and it’s working
however I do not want others to look into the htaccess file what’s in it. This should be forbidden. But……
CHMOD 644 does not work: i still can read what’s in it.

What do I need to do? To have the htaccess file working and it’s not possible to look into the file? What’s the catch?
