Remember a couple of weeks ago when I found a site that seemed to link to me, but didn’t, but when I went there the blog had a picture of a kid that looked just like my son?
Today it happened again.
Today I found FuzzyGeek in my referer logs, but when I went there I could find no links headed this way. I did find a picture of “my son” though. Seems to be a different kid this time, but about the same age as the last one.
I understand that very improbable things do happen from time to time. I just wish that when they did, it was of the oh-look-a-huge-bag-of-money variety and not another wow-what-an-odd-coincidence variety.
On this upside, I did find this at that site: 101 bottles of Diet Coke and 531 Mentos. Just watch it. It’s cool.
Stolen Pixels
A screencap comic that poked fun at videogames and the industry. The comic has ended, but there's plenty of archives for you to binge on.
The No Politics Rule
Here are 6 reasons why I forbid political discussions on this site. #4 will amaze you. Or not.
Control
A wild game filled with wild ideas that features fun puzzles and mind-blowing environments. It has a great atmosphere, and one REALLY annoying flaw with its gameplay.
The Best of 2017
My picks for what was important, awesome, or worth talking about in 2017.
Please Help I Can’t Stop Playing Cities: Skylines
What makes this borderline indie title so much better than the AAA juggernauts that came before?
Was it the same IP each time? There are people who set things up so that their browser always sends their home page as their referer no matter where they go or what they link, just as a sort of minor-league referer spamming to attract attention to their own site.
I’ve seen it before. If I find it annoying enough, I block them in my firewall.
Then I really ought to stop encouraging the practice by linking back to them. (Forehead slap)
Hi, I’m fuzzygeek.com.
My site displays different things if you have an account on the site; my calendar, photo gallery, archives and links pages show if you’re logged in. It’s a minor method of keeping some things semi-private yet easily accessible to friends and family.
(In the past I’ve also linked to your site in this post (http://fuzzygeek.com/index.cfm?AID=2942), which has scrolled off the front page.)
So no nefariousness intended. :)
Thanks for the links. What really threw me was that as a non-logged in person I couldn’t find the archives.
Great site, btw.
Great site, btw.
Thanks! And likewise (which is why it’s on my daily reads list). Most of the cool stuff is hidden from the general public tho :(.
Over the last five years I’ve gone back and forth with regards to making the Archives publicly available, and hiding them so they’re only visible if you’ve logged in. I finally decided to make a token effort at preserving some small modicrum of privacy…
I love diet coke and mentos!!
Nice article, great video. Keep the good stuff coming!
At what place you did?
