My DigitalZone

This is a quick update about kintiskton spiders I told you about in this post. After the initial spike, the site still got hit moderately next day, and they went away. But after that, they came back a couple of times. I really want to know what the spiders are doing.

This is my second major problem with Samsung Glyde. For some reason, its battery stopped to hold charge long enough. Up until 2 weeks ago it was OK; I didn’t have to charge the phone for a few days at least. Now I have to charge it every day or twice a day on some days. I don’t use my cell phone much, so I don’t know why it cannot hold charge. The phone is fairly new, so the battery has to be fairly new also.

I went to a Verizon store to have the battery checked but they didn’t have the equipment to do it. I wanted to buy an extra home charger because I wanted to have one at work and another at home. Well, the store didn’t have it in stock. I thought about buying another battery but batteries are rather expensive. So, I bought a home charger online.

The short battery life is really a problem in an emergency situation. I do have a car charger, so it helps a bit. Samsung Glyde is the first cell phone that I want to replace only after 6 months. I griped about the touch screen problem of this phone here. If you are in the market for a cell phone, I do not recomment this phone.

One of my other sites, Ballroomtube.net, got a mysterious traffic spike today. According to Google Analytics, those spiders are from Kintiskton, LLC. A quick Google search revealed that this company is based in Mountain View, California, and many other sites got hit by their spiders. A weird thing is that nobody seems to know what the spiders are for, so some call them “mysterious” and some state that they are “unlawful spiders.”

I wouldn’t mind my site being hit by search engine bots but this one is different. One commenter on a blog site said the spike would subside after a few weeks. I wonder if the spike on my site will continue for more than one day. In the meantime, I’ll keep an eye on this and will search some more info on this.
