Unexpected referrers

Noticing a surge in downloads of my program Duper, I went on to check my referrer statistics. I was expecting Slashdot to be the top referrer as a story I submitted went up yesterday. But instead I noticed that the top referrer was a blog that I didn't know of: The Red Ferret Journal (aka "enorgis.com", it seems). It's always a very pleasant ego boost when your work, even as tiny as the Duper program, gets a little attention. Duper has had an average of maybe 5 downloads a day lately, but now 99 downloads in the last 36 hours. Good or bad, it's cool. :-)

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
