Travis Smith: my resume, bio and photos back to the main blog page

A Web crawler named Glumper ate all my bandwidth

http://64.15.69.3/

"Welcome to Glumper." is all this IP address says -- but it downloaded 160 GB over and over again from 3 MP3 files. What a drag!

Overheard

“It is easier to sail many thousand miles through cold and storm and cannibals, in a government ship, with five hundred men and boys to assist one, than it is to explore the private sea, the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean of one’s being alone.”

...who said it?

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.”

...who said it?

“If you think taking care of yourself is selfish, change your mind. If you don’t, you’re simply ducking your responsibilities.”

...who said it?

“If anyone were to ask the reason for this
you could only reply,
Who is the sadness for?
Sadness has no reasons. Sadness is a luxury
of spare time, a piece of pie leftover,
the blueberry’s skin caught between your teeth,
the black blear of happiness.”

...who said it?

“Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.”

...who said it?
