Now *this* is a slight worry... :-)


08:32 PM Yahoo! Slurp Spider Registering

The things you see on the "Who's on" page...Why would a web-spider be registering for cat-pages??? New legislation that spiders have to be registered? Like a dog-licence, perhaps?

Yes, silly. I grow a need to clown when things get too serious. Won't let it spread to the cat bits. Much...

They are bits of computer code that sort through the net for the search-pages (such as Google, or in this case Yahoo). They make a sort of index - like the one you find at the back of a text-book - so that the searches are quicker. There was another thread here:

if you want more explanations.
