I’ve been tailing my logs a bit since I’m trying to keep track of browser usage w/o any log anaylsis software set up yet. As an aside; I’ve yet to test this new in-between design (it all validates though) with Netscape 4.x, but I probably should, especially since I’m getting some hits from some Sun boxen running nutscrape (I can’t comment on how Mozilla runs on Solaris, but it can’t be worse than NS 4.x, can it? Well, maybe. I can’t use Mozilla on OSX because the 0.9.7 milestone build always crashes at the most inopportune time). Anyway, if there are major problems, I may just do some server-side browser-sniffing to not include the CSS. It’s all rather moot right now, of course [re: yesterday]
Back to my original story… I saw a referer from blogdex – looking for kottke of course, yeah, so I took a peek at my blogdex entry (of course I’m there, I’m old skool).
blogdex has certainly come a long way from it’s early days. I noticed, that it uses ASP though. A quick lynx -head http://blogdex.media.mit.edu/ shows that yay verily, it is running IIS:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0 Date: Wed, 09 Jan 2002 19:10:57 GMT Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Length: 19890 Content-Type: text/html Set-Cookie: ASPSESSIONIDQQGGGXCQ=IDHLEGBAHGAHLBHGAEGGDAKK; path=/ Cache-control: private
BAD MIT MEDIA LAB. BAD, BAD, BAD MIT MEDIA LAB.
MIT Computing Services apparently supports Solaris, IRIX, BSD, and LINUX. Well, I guess NT/IIS just has too many “remote management features” for *NIX to compete with. Why, news ones come out practically every week.
