mod_gzip
Today I installed mod_gzip on the web server in hopes of reducing the bandwidth consumption. I spent quite a bit of time trying to get my blog pages to compress. I'm using mod_rewrite to hide all the Python CGI's, and there was some kind of weird interaction. Here was the fix if you care:

mod_gzip_item_include uri ^/blog.*$
Looking at the mod_gzip'ified logs reveals that many aggregators are not dealing with gzip compression. Gzip encoding isn't being done because the client (aggregator) is not sending an HTTP Accept-Encoding header that includes gzip. After a few hours, here's a list of the offenders:
- Bottom Feeder
- Hep/0.3
- Radio Userland/8.0.7
- Syndirella/0.91pre
- Syndirella/0.9b
- Some unknown Java client from 216.162.122.43
