Security enhancement my ass!

Today I discovered that LiveJournal no longer allows question marks in filenames referenced by <img src="..."> tags in entries.  Oh yeah, that makes me feel so much safer!  Of course that meant all of the photos in my journal suddenly became invisible.  I just went through and changed all 26 occurrences of such <img> tags in 20 different posts:
  Was: <img src="http://pyesetz.furtopia.org/photo.php?file=sukkah.jpg">
  Now: <img src="http://pyesetz.furtopia.org/photo.php/sukkah.jpg">
Net effect on security: zilch.

Website Logfile Analysis: The Search-Engine Users

Grruwlf!  Snoop-Dog here, again setting the Wayback Machine for: time = "Fall 2004" and place = "my website's logfile".  Today's topic is The Search-Engine Users.  This time I shall organize the data according to how I felt when I saw these search-queries in my logfile.  The porn-links are in section "Disgusted".

My logfile shows 318 entries whose referers are search-engine users, with 237 distinct search-queries, some of which I've combined into near-synonymous groups.  For example, it seems to me that someone searching for  "M/F furry" and someone who wants "M/F yiff" are probably looking for the same pages on the web.  I use the notation [5×] to indicate that there are four other queries similar to the one shown.

There are 729 logfile entries from the engines themselves, stopping by to keep their databases current, which is more than twice the number of hits from actual users.  In part this is my fault for not putting "Expiry" headers on the output from my .PHP programs.  That causes some engines to reread the files multiple times per week even though they don't change for months at a time.  Problem is, I can't decide what expiry time I should use.  This person recommends 48 hours for HTML files, which seems too short.
