The hits were coming in like a storm. The server was practically crawling. I checked the usual suspects. Cool Site of the day? No. Suck? No. Well they must be coming from somewhere.
I ran to Jeff, the patron saint of fray, the guy who runs the server.
"Um, Tox? How do I see who's linking to fray?"
"Just tail the referer log," he answered without looking up.
I went back to my telnet window and stared at it.
"Tail the referer log."
A few stabs, and then I got it.
fat:> tail fray-referer_log
