Hey all,

My first stab at doing realtime web stats and stuff:

http://www.mod-pubsub.org/scottandrew/webstats/

MSIE5+ or Mozilla only, please. Uses IFRAMEs and DOM stuff. Developed on 
Win32 so I don't know how browsers on *nix or OSX fare yet.

The concept is really simple but it's /fascinating/ to watch. Most 
visitors don't go beyond the index page but every once in awhile I'll 
catch someone surfing thru several pages (they light up green).

The best part IMO is watching the spiders; they don't support cookies, 
so they don't get tagged with a unique ID when they pull a page, and 
leave a trail of icons. It's kind of ominous when that red robot 
appears; 90% of the time it's a bot like Slurp or a mail scraper. I 
can't wait to catch the Googlebot in the act. ;)

Not perfect yet. Comments and suggestions welcome.
