Long-time readers of this journal will note that I record my own music. I don't get a lot of feedback on this forum about my music and, really, why would I? Since I'm on vacation, have a internet connection and a lot of time to kill, I decided to grep through the apache logs of taskboy and see who, if anyone else, is listening to my music.
The results surprised me.
Here are the hostnames/IP addresses of my "fans". Some of them are clearly robots (which is expected since I use a lot of synth vox). Others a personal friends whom I badger into listening to my stuff. The rest are complete strangers. The number to the right indicates the number of time that host has downloaded mp3 files from taskboy.

It appears I'm big in Germany, a nation known for their love of irony and a strong, driving beat. Also notice that DrunkenWhores.com is way into my stuff and who can blame them?
Here's the one-liner I used to extract this information from my 25M access log:
bash-2.03$ cat access.log | grep "mp3" | perl -MSocket -lane '$ip{$F[0]}++; END{ for(sort{$ip{$a} <=> $ip{$b}} keys %ip){ next if $ip{$_} < 5; printf "%15s %3d\n", (gethostbyaddr(inet_aton($_), AF_INET) || $_), $ip{$_}}}'
Yes, I know that one-arg cat(1) is evil, but it works.
You're HUGE in Helsinki!
I remember distinctly listening to a song of yours playing randomly from my mp3 directory and wondering why I could not remember what this neat stuff was. Before you ask, I don't remember which song it was, and I can't access the playlist from here.
