Today is Opening Day. And I have a decision to make: do I want to pay $14.95 to be able to listen to all MLB broadcasts this season? Especially when I can only use the godawful Real player?

The lack of cross-platform support is not too much of an issue, since I won't be listening to the games at home: I have an honest-to-goodness radio there. However, I must say that I think this is a tactical error on MLB's part.

In the meantime, the scoreboard at Sports Illustrated works well enough.

The Netcraft Web Server Survey for March 2002 is out.

For quite some time the trendline was obvious. It's become much less so over the past year: compare March 2001 with March 2002. Netcraft notes that the large exchanges of percentage are related to migrations at registrars, such as Verisign and Register.com. The reports by domain, particularly .com, are even more exaggerated. In March 2001, .com domains were 56.56% Apache, 21.56% IIS, while in March 2002 they were 43.92% Apache and 43.65% IIS.

	2000	2001	2002
Apache	56.08%	56.56%	43.92%
IIS	23.73%	21.56%	43.65%

Bear in mind that, unlike Apache, Microsoft's share is limited by the installed base of Windows NT/2000/XP, that a single computer may have many IP addresses, and that a single IP address may have many sites.
