It’s worth the effort to spend some time browsing the gallery at Square America.

For example, this ill-considered comparison:

and this image of portent and apocalyptic anticipation:

Adding to my own sense of coincidence, I was waiting for a carryout pizza to be done three days back and walked into the antique shop next door. Along with old books, I always have to stick my nose into the basket or box of old photographs. There were some amazing ones.

So my wife is browsing the referral reports for her blog, and asks this typically salient question:

If I’m reading an RSS feed of somebody else’s blog, and they have a link in their RSS to my blog, and I click that link… who’s IP address gets written to the logfiles as the referrer?

Technically this is a question about RSS standards and practices, I suppose, as well as Apache’s logging. But in practice it’s about the observed length of chains of surfing behavior.

Advice (or experimental results) would be welcomed.
