Looking through last months logs, I noticed an entry from a google search that made me giggle like a little school girl.

198.116.xx.xx – - [09/Oct/2007:14:55:56 -0600] “GET /09-17-2007/behind-the-scenes-with-snort-part-2/ HTTP/1.1″ 200 6712 “http://www.google.com/search?q=waldo.file&hl=en&start=20&sa=N” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7″

I obfuscated the IP for obvious reasons, but suffice to say a traceroute of the IP, reveals:

14 border.hcn.hq.nasa.gov (198.116.xx.xx) 87.622 ms 84.963 ms 84.978 ms

I know, I know .. who cares right? It’s just a random person at a random place googling for something random. In this specific case however, it’s someone from NASA; searching for specific information about snort/barnyard. I don’t know why it’s important to me, but having someone from an agency that is primarily run by geeks and nerds find my site possibly useful, makes me all warm inside. (hopefully that didn’t make you vomit inside your mouth.)
