Here’s a silliness that I’ve meant to publish/collate for some time; a lot of webservers – post installation – never get their favicon.ico file updated; from my perspective this manifests itself as visiting a (usually commercial) URL and being surprised to see a small Sun Microsystems logo pop-up in the URL bar of my browser – at which point you know from where they got their webserver.
I’ve always meant to get around to collating these things, but never quite pulled it together; having found another this morning, this seems an opportune moment to blog it:

…and then add the remainder/updates into the “comments”.

I suggested that to Google, er, 2 years ago or something, but nothing ever happened about it.

I responded to some TSS flaimbait with a list of *BIG* sites that I know run Sun’s web or App. (including NES, iPlanet, etc.) the thread is here :

Not only does the House of Lords Hansard site still have the iPlanet ‘swoosh’, but this entry contains a rather good attack on the UK IDentity Card proposals.
Hah. I just found that, remembered this post, found it checked and you’d already posted.
