Oooh, I wonder if something's brewing?

I'd suggest it was someone like me winding you up but the IP's pretty obscure and resolves to a really arbitrary domain.

I guess you could email them, I'd love to know what they're up to if it's not just an employee...

Saw it too;

A visitor from yktgi01e0-s5.watson.ibm.com (129.34.20.19) was logged once,
starting at 03:36:18 PM on Monday, August 2, 2004.
The initial browser was test.

This one came by a few months ago. I think there was actually a post from one of the almaden team explaining that a number of parties use their network as an R&D platform.
