I have been using a Toolbar Script called "Open Terminal Here" for a while now (thanks Marc), and the one thing about it that annoyed me was that when Terminal was not running, it would start the application, and then create a second window with my path in it.
I’ve fixed this, by altering the code slightly.

I’ve written about referrer logs before, on various points, but today something strange occurred.
I checked my referrer logs just now, and I had nearly 500 hits.
Cool, but it’s only early in the (server) day, and I normally only get around 300 for the whole day.
So, I checked the logs, and most of them are DIRECT, and point to invalid URLs. The weird thing is that they are all /wp/admin/, and I am the only user. When I try to visit one, it fails:
http://schinckel.blogsome.com/wp-admin/www.blogsome.com//page/5/
Not only is it a weird URL, with a www.blogsome.com, and /wp-admin/, it’s also got a double slash (//). But otherwise, it nearly points to a valid page (schinckel.blogsome.com/page/5/ is a valid and active URL).
Strange.
I was reading up on the WordPress SEO scandal from late March/early April, and a comment I found in it got me thinking about keyword values.
I then found a page that offers to sell a list of keywords, that can be used on Overture (a competitor to Adwords/Adsense) to receive high dollar values per click. (I’m not going to link to it, to protect you, loyal reader…)
They ask for a payment of US$99. Bargain! (Note sarcasm).
I’m not suggesting I’ll get into any SEO stuff, or try to scam Adsense, I tjust thought it was interesting to see how people do make money.
Of course, it reminds me of the books you can buy telling you how to make a million dollars. I think the best way to become a millionare is to write a book telling other people how to do it, and sell 50,000 copies at $20 each.
One of my pet hates is the lack of knowledge about which your/you’re should be used in a particular context.

I’m not totally happy with the standard iPod headphones. They don’t prevent much noise from outside, and they tend to make my ears sore after a few hours of listening.
Quite by accident, I came across a review on Amazon.com for some Sony ‘in-ear’ headphones, that have silicon buds that actually seal quite well in the ear, increasing both comfort and noise reduction.
I went into Sony Central in the city, and they have them, but at $99. I’m not quite sure I’m ready to buy $100 headphones.
