I have no idea what this is. It requests pages with some-but-not-all supporting files. Always from what appears to be a human ISP in Japan (with Accept-Language headers to match). The rapidly changing UA suggests some confusion about what, exactly, is supposed to be getting updated.

I was going to give them 8000 bonus points for the name, but it turns out I'd confused Sleipnir (Odin's horse) with Mjølnir (Thor's hammer), so let's cut back to 3000. It's still got 8 legs and can run as fast on water as on land, so there is that.

The mythological name Sleipnir has been used by a Windows / Mac / iPhone / Android browser for years: sleipnir.pos.to/software/sleipnir/

The "SleipnirSiteUpdates" is new.

I haven't been around in a while so I didnt see this.

I actually use Sleipnir, its an interesting browser. Japanese, ported to English. But I dont know why it would be pinging out to you like this.
