Tracking is working.... let the data collection begin

Matt has cracked the PHP tracker and we've got it live on a few sites now so we're logging bot activity on this site and two others.
He's working on the reporting and hopefully next week we'll be able to take sign-ups. Initially we'll just circulate it to a few friends, let them tell us where we've left scaffolding up, etc and then hopefully let nature take its course and we'll steadily grow the site and the community.
This site hasn't been linked to at all (by design) but a bot came along (can't remember the name - Matt can you?) and since then, Google bot has been snooping around the site and it's now indexed in Google.
I can only imagine that some other bot is monitoring new domains, crawled the site and Google has found a link from there.
I'll find out what bot it was that found the site first and report back.
In the spirit of Alan Partridge - Matt..... Matt...... Matt............... Matt .....Matt.......... MATT................. Matt..... it's no good, he can't hear me...... MATT! MATT!
If you don't watch Alan Partridge then the above will make me look a bit mad.
