The Red(mond) Tide: Visits from Microsoft.comWe were pleased to learn from our site "hit" logs that none other than Microsoft.com has visited our site. Whether this involved a living person or not is debatable, but we'll trumpet the annointed recognition none the less.
Here's the names of the servers that visited:
tide70.microsoft.com tide71.microsoft.com tide74.microsoft.com tide77.microsoft.com tide78.microsoft.comWe can ponder what "tide" refers to... That while most people are content to surf the Web, Microsoft wants to be that element that washes up on the shore and floods the homes along the coast? That they're caught up with wanting to get out those stubborn stains from our delicate cotton wear? That they're interested in laying low like millions of single-celled organisms and then suddenly filling the lakes with toxic excretions?In any case, it shows that Microsoft has the luxury to devote resources to hunt down members of The International Anti-Microsoft Network, if not all references to their company. So we must congratulate them in getting something of theirs to work right (to heck with what people say, boys! We want you to perfect your toy snooping programs, not the expensive and important products of yours that we are forced to put up with on a daily basis!).
Now we giddily await the most coveted of log entries -- from billg himself.
