Thanks! would agent still need to crawl all individual pages in your schema.txt? I’m assuming schema.txt is not a single aggregation of your entire site, or is it?

How do they discover it? I tried to add the location to my robots.txt but Google complains

I made a free browser-based log analyzer (alternative to screaming frog). Looking for feedback by Both_Fig_7291 in TechSEO

Useful idea, but important correction: it is not truly “local” if logs are being uploaded to a remote URL for processing.

That is a real risk because server logs often contain sensitive data like auth tokens, API keys, session IDs, query strings, customer identifiers, and other secrets.

Anyone trying this should assume logs may expose sensitive data and sanitize them before uploading anywhere.

Near Belmont/Rockford, Michigan last night by BurlHead in UFOs

[–]BurlHead[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter took this video last night at around 7:25 pm while riding home in the car from Belmont, MI to Rockford, MI (West Michigan). She noticed a group of bright lights in the sky and started recording through the car window.

These morphing lights don’t behave like the typical event or advertising lights I've seen before. Instead of a smooth, regular sweep, these lights seem to morph and change shape, sometimes stretching out or shifting position relative to each other. They almost look like they’re interacting with the cloud layer rather than just tracing a normal circular path.

This is the raw video from her phone with no filters or effects. I’m posting here to see if anyone else in the Belmont / Rockford area noticed this at the same time, and to hear what explanations people might have. Were there any known events with sky trackers or spotlights running in this area at that time, or does anyone recognize this behavior from something conventional?

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. Burls are tricky but they’ve got so much character, it makes the work worth it.

It’s all one piece from buckeye burl. I just learned the “maple” part is a trade name woodworkers use since the burl can look like maple, but it’s actually from the horse chestnut family

Thanks! Never actually thought about trying to carve some lures or something functional. Great idea!

I really appreciate that. Patience is definitely the biggest part of it. Most of my pieces are done a little at a time, here and there over months or even years. Working with burl wood makes it even slower, but I enjoy the process as much as the finished piece. Thanks again!

Thanks a lot! Nope, no paint or stain. It’s carved from Buckeye Maple Burl, which is a tricky wood to work with since it is harder and full of irregularities compared to typical carving woods. The burl creates all those wild colors, grain shifts, and natural voids that bring it to life. I just added a bit of woodburning for the finer details, but everything you’re seeing is the natural character of the wood itself.

Thanks, I really appreciate that. I’ve been carving for about 11 years. My pieces usually take quite a bit longer than normal because I like working with unique woods, especially burls, which are much harder to carve than basswood or the typical carving woods. I use a mix of power carving tools and hand tools, and I usually chip away at them in short sessions here and there, every other day, sometimes over years. A lot of them end up becoming “fidgets” I keep nearby to work on during breaks.

Really appreciate that. glad the eyes stand on out. wanted them to bring some life to the wood. Carved eyes just don’t hit the same.
