More depressing stats. In the last 24 hours, only 14 real people visited my site, as evidenced by the challenge solve rate. Approximately 2000 requests from known botnets were blocked outright. 332 requests made it past the block list, but couldn't solve the challenge (meaning they were also most likely bots). 18 AI bots disregarded their robots.txt instructions and attempted to access other areas of my site. 21 requests were made to hidden links designed to catch scrapers. 🧵1/2

      woooo time for a kiki update. this one is a bugfix release that corrects two super annoying problems with RSS feed generation.

      while we all love RSS, it has to be one of the most finicky protocols to actually write code for 😅. every client seems to have its own quirks. so here's my attempt at keeping the protocol alive and happy:

      - RSS feeds now show the correct pubdate time because it now takes timezone into consideration, and then converts your timezone to GMT.

      - under very weird and unknown conditions, incorrect rss URLs were being generated. While I couldn't reproduce the exact cause (I suspect it was due to robots scraping kiki instances and the PHP server not generating browser variables for them), I was able to eliminate the bug with a small change to how URLs are generated.

      thank you to kiki oper @kickingk for catching both of these bugs.

      and if you're new to kiki, this is your invitation to join the kiki club!

      there is a free shareware version here for those who want to get their toes wet with building their own little blog, and a paid registered version for folks who want to dive straight in :D

                      One of the first pages I look for when I visit a personal website is "Links". A good links page is like a web directory without being a web directory. It's amazing what you can find there. The web is fucking amazing!

                      🤔 Maybe I should add a section to my own links page called "Other poeple's links pages". That could be fun. I think I'll actually do that.

                        just stumbled upon an incredible piece of MUD/MOO history from the mid-90s web that disappeared in the 2000s and is now all but forgotten. it is a testament to the interactive and creative possibilities real people imagined in the 90s, before greed and pessimism spread through the world wide web.

                        MOOSE Crossing: A MUD for Kids was a mud/moo designed by Amy Bruckman at MIT as her doctoral dissertation project in 1996

                        "MOOSE Crossing is a MUD designed to get kids 9-13 excited about reading,
                        writing, and computer programming. It includes a new programming language
                        (MOOSE) and client interface (MacMOOSE) designed to make it easier for kids to
                        learn to program.

                        Kids have made things like pigs you can hug, light bulbs that tell light
                        bulb jokes, and pots of gold at the end of the rainbow that ask you a
                        riddle! They're doing creative writing and computer programming in their
                        spare time for fun, and meeting other kids from around the world."

                        (from a rec.games.tiny.mud announcement groups.google.com/u/1/g/rec.ga)

                        while a moo wasn't anything new at all in 96, what i find incredible is that her team also built a custom graphical mud programming WYSIWYG client, for Mac and Windows. the clients - MacMOOSE.sea.hqx and WinMoose.exe appear to be lost to time (edit: macmoose has been found! mastodon.tomodori.net/@vga256/), but i found this screenshot buried in the wbm. you can see how an object is broken down into verbs and properties.

                        i have about a million questions about how the client-server system worked because this is adorable and user friendly. but for now, i'm excited to just think out loud about what the world wide web could be made into today, if developers got more interested in user-driven interactivity

                        this is the original site for MOOSE Crossing:

                        A screenshot of the MacMOOSE mud client. It shows two windows. The foreground window is an object editor that allows you to select a game object, and then browse through lists of verbs and properties that can be applied to that object. In the background window, Moose Crossing appears to be running in a telnet client. It reads: Magic Shoppe You are standing in a damp cave chamber. There are shelves of scrolls and books all containing magic spells. There are also many walking staffs leaning against a corner on the other side of the room. Hermit (brave) and Thea are here.
