Simply stick this piece of code into your website or include file in php and get an email when Google visits that page! Of course, change the myemail@something.com before you put this into your website.
PHP:
<?php
//Change the following to your email address
$email = “myemail@something.com”;
if(eregi(”googlebot”,$_SERVER[’HTTP_USER_AGENT’]))
{
mail($email, “Googlebot detected”,
“Google has crawled : “.$_SERVER[’REQUEST_URI’]);
}
?>
Perl:
# give path of sendmail
$mailprog = ‘/usr/sbin/sendmail’;
#Change the following to your email address
$email = myemail@something.com;
$browser = $ENV{’HTTP_USER_AGENT’};
if ($browser =~ m/googlebot/i) {
open (MAIL, “|$mailprog -t”) || die “ERROR: Problem Opening - $mailprog!\n”;
print MAIL “From: $email\n”;
print MAIL “To: $email\n”;
print MAIL “Subject: Googlebot detected\n\n”;
print MAIL “Google has crawled : “.$ENV{’REQUEST_URI’};
close (MAIL);
}
So use at your own risk, and prepare to get spamed.

This is probably how the Japanese guy drew with HTML.
http://neil.fraser.name/software/img2html/
How does it work?
A table is created which is filled with large numbers of 1×1 cells. Each cell has a background colour of the corresponding pixel in the image. That’s all it is; just a massive grid of coloured table cells. View the source to see the details.
I failed to put it on my blog because…
Why does it take so long to display?
Web browsers are designed to display image files; they aren’t optimised for 10,000 cell tables. To help the browser out, the table is chopped up into smaller tables, each containing about 15 horizontal lines. This allows browsers like MSIE to render the chunks independently without having to wait for the entire image to load. Other browsers such as Mozilla don’t care, since they are capable of rendering tables as they load.

Obviously, there’s Desktop Tower Defense, and then Boxhead for hours of enjoyment. However, I stumbled upon some new ones yesterday that will keep you busy for hours more!

So I posted about twitbin. Yes, it’s getting even better. After you use it, you get addicted to twitter. Since everytime I open firefox, it will be there logged in and ready to let me type something in, I now will tweet more. They said that they might have speed issues, however, I haven’t seen any (which is good).
However, I do have one thing. I know it’s a minor issue (not even a issue), it’s still important to people like us or me. Because my friends don’t tweet a lot (not like me, I am trying to tell them about this twitbin), I can’t see anything from my person/friends stream obtained from twitter except from my own. If they just allow the history to go back a little bit further, I would be happy. Anyhow, it’s not that important anyway and this only applies to us/me!
Great service and tool. Loving it.
By the way, they are already working on the next version.
Tweet on! Or shall I say twitbin on!
