One for the sys admins.. this is simply brilliant.

I set it up on brisky los and SWMBO came in... once I got her to look, she said, I've never seen the web look so nice. I then thought I'd go for double or quits and explain the log to her... yup lost her attention.

They get a rest right about the time they have been replaced, just before they get put in a bin :p

Is that from the new server?

It is cool, but it would make way more sense if there was a paddle per apache child process / worker thread.

Guilty. I've thought about it and an alternative way to visualise it would be a missile defence type game, where the turrets at the bottom are your web server child processes / worker threads, shooting incoming requests which explode with a HTTP status code (200 / 302, whatever). Defence towers could spawn and they could be destroyed.

I've seen that done somewhere, although it was the parachute version.

If you remember arcadians or swoop, then it sounds to me like that could be a good one to code too

So do you get more points for a 404?
