18:52 mt trackback spambot的特征分布－ 2006年12月份 » 车东[Blog^2]

用一些简单的脚本和接口对MT spambot做了一些统计，网站上已经没有mt-tb.cgi这个文件了，来访问这个地址的都是spammer。

结论如下：spam的运行时间分布很均匀，来源IP以国外为主，一般是对MT已有文章地毯式的ping。
基本上如果通过特征的方法来识别，不如全部过滤。所以动态修改trackback地址/文件名是必须的可以过滤掉95%以上的spam，动态trackback地址/参数则过滤掉将剩余的5%中的90%。

详细数据附后。

18:25 今天，你穿睡衣了吗？ » Google 黑板报 -- Google 中国的博客网志

发表者：崔瑾，Google（谷歌）黑板报小组

“为什么不穿睡衣”
“你为什么不穿”
“里面哪”
“我也是：）”

这样的对话，今天成为谷歌同事之间最经典的见面问候语，哈哈，今天是我们的睡衣节（Pajama Day）！这个活动一般在圣诞节前后，大家都穿着睡衣拖鞋去上学或者上班，据说身着睡衣可以放松大家工作学习时的紧张心情，因此睡衣节也成为了一个象征着温馨可爱的日子。

其实这个节日并没有固定的日期，各个学校和公司可以自己挑一个好日子，大家从老板到员工，从校长到小孩子一律都是睡衣睡裤拖鞋。因为大家的睡衣往往是五颜六色，式样也五花八门，所以到了这一天，整个公司或学校充满了一种轻松休闲的气氛。现附小照几张。

统一着装：注意他们的拖鞋

据说，虽然在今天看来，睡衣节是拉近人与人彼此之间距离的一个很好的途径，但其实最早却是针对儿童的厌学情绪而“发明”的，因为很多小孩不喜欢在寒冷的冬天起床去上幼儿园，特别是在圣诞假期即将来临的时候，孩子们更是不想去上学。因此有人就提出让老师和同学都穿着睡衣和拖鞋来上学，上课，想不到效果非常好，孩子们都感到非常的轻松随意。后来，这种方法也被更多的学校和公司采用。

另外，注意图中有个没穿睡衣的赝品

最后，祝每个人睡衣节轻松愉快！！！

13:18 Your easiest holiday task » Official Google Blog

Posted by Costin Manolache, Software Engineer

We launched Google Apps for Your Domain at the end of August, and since then we've been getting great feedback from people all over. Organizations from Thailand, Argentina, and even our neighbors in Palo Alto have set up private-label Gmail, Google Talk, Google Calendar, and spiffy customizable start pages for their custom domains. We think it's especially cool that thousands of students are able to connect better with their classmates -- and their schools' IT directors no longer need to wring their hands over spam and clogged inboxes.

"Hey, wait, Costin," you say. "That's great for them, but our organization doesn't have a custom domain."

Well, I'm excited to let you know that we've made signing up for Google Apps for Your Domain much easier for those of you that don't yet have your own domain. We've partnered with GoDaddy.com and eNom, two leading domain registration services, to offer domains for $10 per year. And I like the fact that we're including private registration to protect your personal information.

Now you've got one-stop shopping for all the services currently on the Google Apps for Your Domain platform -- just find a domain, buy it, and get started. We'll do all the behind-the-scenes configuration work for you. For now this is available for .com, .net,.org, .biz, and .info domains, but we're working on bringing it elsewhere soon. We're also constantly working to introduce more cool new features to this service, so be sure to check back for updates.

11:47 public mood ring » information aesthetics

a physical installation inspired by the idea of a ring that translates the bearer's emotional condition into a changeable color hue. at the request of remote viewers on the artwork site & from a computer station just outside the installation room, the Public Mood Ring software searches for the mood of a current public issue represented by instant Internet news text. a series of animated web pages allow users to pick a news story & a cultural color model, & then displays the results of the search engine as the mood outcome, which determines the LED color shown at the installation site.

a dinner plate, 15 cm diameter, equipped with weight sensors & connected to a palm-sized computer, which complaints out loud (e.g. "stop right there! and what about excess weight?" and "where's your willpower?") when too much food has been placed on top of it. an alternative version of this persuasive technology plays music faster & more aggressively if the diner eats quickly (as measured by the number of times the fork hits the plate), & more calmly if the meal is consumed slowly.

10:13 圣诞老人环游Google地球 » Blog on 27th Floor

Google这个主意相当妙，在Google earth上开了这么个小游戏，一天让桑塔·克劳斯游一个地方，当然是在虚拟的地球上。现在他在北京上空：

santa-at-beijing-google Hosted on Zooomr

先得页面上下载kml文件，加入Googleearth，然后双击它，到北京找今天的提示，比如北京是“北方的首都”，要办2008年奥运会这样的。然后去找相应的城市，然后慢慢翻看。北京的这个在紫禁城的东北，没出二环。很有趣。

10:07 网吧 » Blog on 27th Floor

昨晚去跑步的地方楼下是个大网吧，昨天跑完了还有时间就去上了一下网，没带身份证，不过报出来证号让人记录一下就可以进了。不过想做假的一定要事先想好，身份证号最后一位是校验位，而记录的电脑上应该是自动校验的，事先要算好，然后别长得太年轻就成了。

该网吧得有200多台机器，还分3个区，最贵的叫休闲区，4块/小时，好像在最里面，有沙发座，也许机器更好点，网速更快点？这个区包夜20，还送饮料。不时地还有外面店铺的服务员进来送东西，有送水的，送水果的，还有送盖浇饭以及盒饭等等，吃完了餐具都不用管，扔桌子上就成，真是带动一片经济发展。

我用的机器是AMD 1800+，512内存，17LCD，比我自己的机器好多了。机器启动后分辨率就是1024，可能是为游戏设置的，屏幕最佳分辨率是1280。网吧管理系统改得不过分，没像有些网吧把explorer都替换掉了。机器应该是不保存东西的，连IE的浏览记录都没有。桌面上许多快捷方式，有视频－－直接连到一个宽带视频网站；有游戏，里面有数十种常见网游；还有专门开出来存下载的地方。可以运行telnet，不过上水木那黑黑的小窗口把网管给招来了。

不去网吧不知道行情，里面99％的网民们在玩这三样：游戏（似乎魔兽那种多）＋QQ（包括文字聊和视频聊）＋电视剧。看电视剧的相当多，真想不到。而基本没人看网页，只见到两位是IE，好像是在找工作填简历。9点的时候，又进一来一大邦小孩，都是要包夜的。如果网吧都这样的话，不知道那些门户的页面流量是怎么产生的－－或者现在网吧上网的已经是很小比例了？

08:17 Blog Stats Rollout » Burning Questions - The FeedBurner Weblog

Earlier this summer, we acquired Blogbeat, the nifty blog statistics product, and we're happy to announce that the work of porting the service to our architecture and interface is complete. If you are a current BlogBeat customer, the blog stats team will be contacting you over the next week about enabling your FeedBurner account for testing the service. If you are a FeedBurner user who loves our feed stats and would love love love to use our new blog stats service, we say to you, "oh so soon!" Love is fleeting but statistics are forever. We want to get feedback from the first couple dozen Blogbeat customers we convert and make sure things are working smoothly and consistently before we open up the service to the rest of the world.

What will FeedBurner site statistics include? Plenty!

Page Views and estimated unique visitors
Detailed 'by visitor' statistics
Incoming links including search query referrals and site link referrals
Outbound links and counts
City Cloud map of visitors (but alas, no Cloud City)
More. Really? More? Yes, Really.

Here are a few screenshots to tide you over for the next couple weeks, just to get a sense for how things will look and feel when you use FeedBurner to track your site statistics. As you would expect, it looks a lot like your FeedBurner feed stats dashboard. (Click thumbnails below to view larger images.)

Recent Visitor Detail (with IP addresses elegantly blurred through the miracle of MS Paint)

Visitor Summary and City Cloud

Next Steps
We'll probably take the end of the year to sort out the kinks, bugs, and whatnot reported by the first wave of users, and then we'll open things up to everybody right after the New Year assuming no major troubles. There will then be a series of shorter iterations in order to roll out some follow-on services that we've already identified.

07:49 Limited T-shirts » WordPress Development Blog

At various events throughout 2006, like SxSW and WordCamp we had t-shirts and each time we got a ton of requests for people who weren’t there to be able to buy them. Well, now you can. We have a limited supply of some of our shirts from this year available to order online. You can’t tell [...]

04:46 The Top of Live Search for 2006 » Live Search's WebLog

Live Search went live in 2006, and it has been a great year for us and our users searching the Web. With the year drawing to a close, we decided to put together lists of the top searches for 2006. These lists are the result of studying our anonymous logs for the most searched queries in all the countries and regions our users search from.

After putting together the list of the Top 10 searches for this year, we became curious about which queries gained the most popularity compared with last year. As you can see in the list of the top gainers from last year, the 2006 FIFA World Cup popularized some soccer related searches. Because soccer was so popular overall, we decided to see what else was popular in soccer searches in 2006.

When you search the Web, we know you’re looking for more than just web pages, so we put together a list of top searches for additional categories: celebrity images, news, products, and travel.

Please let us know what you think by posting comments on this blog, or by using our feedback page.

Thank you for all your searches in 2006!

Ivan Gonzalez
Program Manager, Live Search User Experience Team

01:55 Holiday goodies from Picasa Web Albums » Official Google Blog

Posted by Adrian Graham, Product Manager, Picasa

What’s a holiday without the memorable (and embarrassing) photos? The holidays are almost here, which (at least if you’re in my family) means babies chewing on presents, the dog dressed in a ridiculous reindeer costume, and someone (cough, Uncle Charlie) passed out after too much eggnog. Although I think about this now and wince in advance, I know that I’m going to want to capture these moments and more importantly, share them with the rest of my family and friends. That’s why I’m excited about the new features we’ve added to Picasa Web Albums, just in time for the holidays.

Print ordering is my favorite—it’s something you have told us you've wanted since we first launched. Now, when you or anyone else views photos in Picasa Web Albums, there’s an option to order prints directly from the site. We currently offer prints and products from Shutterfly and PhotoWorks, but we’ll be adding more soon.

Other new features include video upload for easy sharing (it’s just like with photos—select them in Picasa and click the “Web Album” button) and searching tools. Now you can search over your own captions, album titles, and album descriptions, and you can even search for photos in your friends’ public albums. Digging up that picture of me trying to figure out which end of the holiday turkey is "up" should be easier than ever.

So check out these new features before all the festivities start. And however you celebrate the holidays this year, I hope you’ll take lots of pictures.
