Exabot-Thumbnails?

Received a 500 error earlier this morning trying to post on Needcoffee. Checking the access logs it appears I have a new friend: Exabot-Thumbnails. Here's a sample line:

193.47.80.77 – - [14/Aug/2007:01:25:22 -0700] "GET /updates/tag/androids HTTP/1.0" 301 242 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.5 (like Gecko) (Exabot-Thumbnails)"

Apparently there's been some other Exabots in the past, but nothing that's specifically "Exabot-Thumbnails." There's no info on a site to check for who the hell owns this bot, nor, from what I can tell, is it nabbing my robots.txt file. So…evil bot = .htaccess smackdown by IP address.

If anybody knows anything more about this, let me know.

IT BURNS

This is me.

No, really.

I am a writer, poet, spoken word performer, actor, singer, improviser, content creation and idea machine, freelance iconoclast, and the internet's janitor that dispenses pop culture wisdom to the protagonist of your choice. I have seen too many movies, read too many comic books, and when the zombies finally come, I'm the one you want to call. I sure as hell won't answer the phone, but it's the thought that counts. I advise people on the net, websites and technology, because I know these things instead of having a life or sleeping.

If you like something I've done, donate to the Widge Wants to Kill His Day Job Fund. Or if you'd like to hire me for a job, my rates are terribly reasonable. We thank you.
