cgi irc

Yes I installed a cgi based irc program on this server.
Hence I downloaded and placed it in this server.
Then I found a problem.
I will get disconnected with a " (Quit (CGI:IRC (EOF)))" Error even when I am not doing anything. I am very disappointed – for, the program runs much faster on this server! I looked up the official site's error list and found that the program could be my server's admin could have killed the cgi process when they detected it. This is because this cgi program will take up more memory and cpu cycles….. Well my account has not ssh access so I think this must be the case….
But then I am still happy that I managed to get the thing run for about seven minutes 
Do you think your blog is a secret?

I know that many blogs has RSS feeds. I was not sure about what it can do until today. They provide visitors a peep at your site's contents even b4 clicking on your website! Don't believe me? Try clicking at the orange icon at the status bar of your firefox now. Then add my blog into your live bookmarks. Look at it rite away. You will see links and titles to my blog entries. Its only the titles you might think. But there is actually more that is been downloaded but then it is not shown in here. Some blogs provide a ping service. They will send your RSS feeds to some directories once you have any changes to your blogs. I think this is cool. It updates your directories the moment you have new additions to your site. Of course this is a double edged sword. Should you want to keep your blog a secret, then all these features are going to ruin your little secret. You may think that its your secret blog but then, actually, someone else may be able to search for your blog in real time! Check your blog account to make sure you have disabled all feeds and any directory or site notification of your blog's status. It happened to me. I found my abandoned secret blog on the net. I still wish to keep it a secret hence I have already deleted from the orginal url. 
I hope it will remain a secret Hope yours too.
