TagsTagsYou may have noticed that our visit counter in the left sidebar is showing over 400,000 page views yesterday. Uh, no, not really. It’s that high because the site has been crawling with web robots for the past couple of days. The oddest one has been using a series of ...
I did some work on the back-end code for LGF today, stuff I’ve been meaning to do for a while. The front page now passes HTML validation for the first time in about, well, forever. I’ve tweaked a lot of different files, so if anything looks off, try emptying your browser ...
The Lizard Lounge has been such a hit that I’ll be leaving it open, but with a limit on the number of users so it doesn’t get too ... intense ... at any one point. This is a very exclusive lounge. Only users with registered LGF accounts are allowed in. If ...
The Lizard Lounge is now open, with a new Java-based chat client. Log in with your LGF username and password; the maximum capacity is 40 lizards, and it’s first come, first served. Log in here: Lizard Lounge.
The Lizard Lounge is ready for its first test. You will need to be a registered member of the LGF Lizardoid Front, and you’ll log in with the username and password you use for posting comments. For this test, I’m using YShout, a nice lightweight Ajax-based chat system, with login code ...
I’m thinking of setting up a conference room for registered users only (you’d have to log in with your LGF username and password), that would be open for limited periods whenever I have time to moderate and play hall monitor. I have a pretty cool Ajax-based script I’ve been playing ...
If you’ve been wondering why there have been no posts yet today, it’s because the secret undisclosed LGF ISP that supplies intraweb net services to our underground lair decided to malfunction. In other words, we had no internet connection. It just came back. Did anything happen while I was offline?
Oh, hi! You still there? Not sure why just yet, but we went offline for a few hours; sorry about that. I got on once earlier this afternoon and the visit counter showed more than 10,000 entities online. Did LGF get a plug from somebody I didn’t hear about? Here’s an open ...
Here are our monthly unique visitors for the last three months as counted by my homebrew statistics package, showing a huge jump in August (a million more than July) because of the Reuters photoshop scandal. Interestingly, a lot of the first-time visitors from that period (the beginning of August) seem ...
We have a new feature related to user comments, intended to allow you to easily send me an email about a particular comment to let me know that it contains something interesting—in either a positive way (a noteworthy link or opinion), or a negative way (an offensive remark or a ...
A UK web geek analyzes the viral nature of Little Green Footballs here and here, in a hopeless quest to understand how this site with the freakish name has become ... popular. But to truly comprehend the LFG drive for world domination, comfortable shoes, and an environment of nearly pure nitrogen, ...
Our server got a case of indigestion for a little while, but after a dose of electronic Beano we’re firing on all cylinders again.
We just exceeded three million comments at Little Green Footballs! Somebody hand out the noisemakers... (Sorry, but I can’t tell exactly who posted the three millionth comment...)
I’m still here! Sorry for the slow posting; it’s because 1) I’m having trouble getting on my own site in what looks like a record traffic day around here, and 2) I’ve been jumping through media hoops most of the day. In the meantime, if you need something to laugh at ...
LGF, Technical Info, Traffic, Reuters, Drudge, Democratic Underground
Yes, I know we’re running very slowly today, but unfortunately there isn’t much I can do about it right away. We’re on a nice fast dedicated server, but only so many browsers can fit through one internet connection at a time, no matter how large the pipe. I’ve turned off ...
I’m scheduled to be on Matt Drudge’s radio show in about 10 minutes, talking about the Reuters brouhaha...
So many people are trying to get in to Little Green Footballs this morning that our doors are starting to get jammed with HTTP requests. In English, this means it’s going to be a little slow around here for a bit. One web server can only do so much, even ...
If LGF seems sluggish it’s because of a sudden large influx of readers sent here by Dennis Prager, who said a lot of nice things about LGF today when I appeared on his show. I’ve turned on the “low bandwidth” version of LGF to take some of the load off ...
You may have noticed the sudden appearance of links beneath each post, labeled “digg this” and “del.icio.us”. These are quick links to let users of “social bookmarking” sites Digg.com or del.icio.us submit an LGF post for publication. Both of these sites tilt pretty heavily toward the moonbat side of the ...
