I noticed that a *lot* of the crawlers/bots we see on www.bbc.co.uk & www.bbc.com are spoofed e.g. a "Meta" crawler coming from 10s of different small ISPs across the world (the real one comes from a Meta ASN).
I deployed a change this morning which adds source ASN validation (alongside user-agent string analysis) to our "known crawlers/bots" classifier & well, the results speak for themselves. Attached graphs show RPS from "known crawlers/bots" to www.bbc.co.uk & www.bbc.com.

Clarification; when I say movie poster I meant VHS cover art, lol.

IMO cover art is part of the home movie experience.

Was just reminded of how a lot of movie DVDs had cover art that was not the movie poster but something more "modern" and how those felt tacky even when they first start doing that, lol

I really enjoy listening to my local community radio station when I'm in the kitchen; it's great hearing stuff that you just wouldn't get on commercial radio, like Taiwanese Folk Metal

was out a lot of today doing some gardening and now I'm a tired werewuff, the sort of tired where your body is really heavy x3

@Jencen @pippin @alterae That reminds me that I need to flesh out my blanket wyvern sona sometime >.>

Suddenly reminded that the Japanese artist Osamu Sato (the person behind "LSD: Dream Emulator") released a book called "The Art of Computer Designing: A Black and White Approach" and it's such a great book of how to do digital art with simple shapes.
