Kragen's Popular Pages

Last updated 1999-05-10.

These are the twenty or so most popular pages of mine. The numbers next to them are the number of hits they got during April, 1999. (Divide by 30 to get hits per day.)

3770 /~kragen/security-holes.html -- a description of common security holes, with a focus on how to find them so you can fix them before anyone starts exploiting them.

933 /~kragen/idiots-delight.html -- Xerox humor, a collection of jokes about people doing dumb stuff. I put it on the Web after two separate people emailed it to me.

829 /~kragen/uptime.txt -- Phil Greenspun's 'uptime' service would fetch this several times a day and email me when it couldn't fetch it. Eventually I removed this, because the email was going into the bit bucket and I couldn't fix it.

275 /~kragen/ -- my home page.

266 /~kragen/hotlist.html -- my hotlist. Most of these visits (214 of them) are from my PC at work, but 41 other machines also requested it.

194 /~kragen/sa-beowulf/ -- a supercomputer in a box. Nothing new has happened in three months, so the traffic on this page is way down.

129 /~kragen/Xraw/icons/underline.gif -- a graphic referenced in several of the Xraw pages, including the entry page.

114 /~kragen/security-holes.txt -- the plain-text version of the most popular page on this list.

94 /~kragen/x-pretty.html -- "X is Pretty" -- once the most popular page of all. About the evolution of Unix GUIs. I gave up maintaining it when things started changing so fast I couldn't keep up. ;)

89 /~kragen/Xraw/icons/wd.gif -- another graphic from the Xraw pages.

78 /~kragen/selections/Barrett.html -- one of the selections from my wedding. About 20 of these hits are from people going there from the wedding page, about 20 more are from unknown sources (probably people pasting the URL in their browser after someone emailed it to them, mostly), and the other half were from search engines.

78 /~kragen/kragen.jpg -- a picture of me. Beats me why it's so popular. ;)

77 /~kragen/sw/dyndns.html -- a toy dynamic DNS system I wrote.

72 /~kragen/Xraw/icons/r_hand1.gif -- more Xraw graphics.

71 /~kragen/selections/ -- the selections Marilyn and I chose for our wedding.

65 /~kragen/Xraw/ -- the Xraw page.

62 /~kragen/sw/ -- software I've written.

62 /~kragen/resume.html -- my resume.

62 /~kragen//sa-beowulf/ -- an alternate form for the sa-beowulf page's URL.

49 /~kragen/mailing-lists.html -- where all the action is these days.

48 /~kragen/selections/apache-wedding-prayer.html -- another selection from my wedding. About 60% of these hits are from search engines. Most of the searchers were looking for an "apache prayer" or specifically "apache wedding prayer", but many were just looking for a "wedding prayer". One person was looking for a "navajo wedding prayer", and one (no doubt disappointed) searcher was searching for "prayer AND wedding AND Christian". :)

48 /~kragen/idiots-delight-hitlist-1998-January-through-March.txt -- a page much like this one.

44 /~kragen/tao-of-programming.html -- the Tao of Programming, a funny spoof of the Tao-Te Ching.
