Tim Bray has started watching his web server’s access_log file. He’s got a nice description of what’s in the file along with an account of how word spread about his site when he brought it up. Pretty interesting. Watching the access_log file can be somewhat hypnotic. I usually have a small window in the bottom corner of my screen with it running. I like seeing what kinds of things people search for while hitting my site.
