potential plugin: stealth user tracking

I’m working on a new plugin that tracks individual visitors’ activity through a Textpattern site. It uses a stealthy method of identifying users that persists across browser restarts and IP changes – it’s very difficult to detect or defeat.

It’s a little bit clever, and a little bit evil.

I’m not sure yet, but this might become a commercial plugin (the first?). More here.

OT

If you use your new zem_image_replace on your site you need to rethink it since the images are waaaaaaaay off to the right, atleast in Opera7.51.


Plugins: ob1_advanced_search 1.032b, ob1_search_score 1.0, ob1_pagination 2.5, ob1_title 4.1, ob1_modified 2.1

I’m testing workarounds for alignment issues.

When visiting the above link …

<pre>

Notice: Undefined variable: txp_current_plugin in /usr/home/zem/domains/vigilant.tv/public_html/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php on line 398

A problem occured while loading the plugin: -> Notice: Undefined variable: Posted

A problem occured while loading the plugin: -> Notice: Undefined variable: AuthorID
</pre>

Also get a missing font error at http://vigilant.tv/threshold/

From the comments sounds like another web bug. Wouldn’t it be sotped by “bug-blockers”?
