MSN Crawlers Pawned

After seeing the way MSN crawled my last post, I just realized why Microsoft could never do good in Search Engine Market 🙂

I wonder why MSN would crawler same page from two different machines. I wonder if a single page can be divided further for crawling. Checkout the screenshots below 🙂

Why Google Wins

A few minutes later. Three Microsoft machines were crawling the same page 😛

I have conformed using ARIN that all these IPs belong to Microsoft 😀

 

Humour: Funny Apache Logs

The other day I was debugging my drupal installation and had a look at the Apache error logs. And this is what I found 😀

[root@gofedora html]# tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

Reminded me of famous Indian saying, “Kumbh ke mele mein khoya wapis aa gaya“.

And Apache logs it as a warning. You long lost child has come home. You gotta run 😛
