hi,
birds@birdseyeviewoftheinternet.co.uk
What i would like to do or see is to connect multi cpus to one computer . How can this be done can it be done at all .
IF we could connect say 6 cpus to one computer or have an easy way of being able to change any of the 6 cpus as you like.
any info on this will be the very big help

I am talking about the very interesting write-ups explaining how things work, for example, IP addresses. It is unusual to find explanations on web sites that are free of tech-talk, and consequently, are puzzling to novices. But your writer is a genius who knows how to write about normally intimidating information in an easy-to-understand, digestible manner for the computer illiterate masses, such as my wife! THANK YOU and keep it up!

BTW, "whether" is spelt wrong at: "Wether or not you decide to use an anonymous proxy…"

Hi Jim, how do I change the text from Cable or Less to DSL or Less on the speedtest? We’re an ISP with DSL but not Cable.

Thanks,

If you have a suggestion for the webmaster tool / sitemap generator, let me know by posting it here. I’ll try to add these to the sitemap generator when I do the next update.

So far we have:

Allow the modified field to be changed by right clicking.
Show total time to spider a site.
Allow option to compress file.
Changing the order of a sitemap then saving it does not show up in sitemap.xml
Fix memory issue – the larger the site the more memory required.
Russian Symbols in urls and titles cause problems (are converted).
strange characters in html sitemap
Level 4 pdf files
Split sitemap
Ability to disable cookies.
Ability to ignore case, case insensitive sitemap (see this)
Change wording of XML File under export to session file – too many people choose XML File rather than SITEMAP XML when creating a sitemap for yahoo or google.

Enhancements:
Generator won’t update the pages date when pages have been updated unless rerun sitemap from start.

From other threads, I have read that you intend to add the ability to split sitemaps into smaller sitemaps, which is allowed by the Sitemap protocol.

The protocol gives a maximum of 50,000 urls per sitemap, with multiple sitemaps linked via an index.xml.

But 50,000 urls still produces a sitemap too large to be displayed by shared hosting servers, which typically limit allocated memory to 32 MB. 32 MB may only hold about 2600 urls before the memory is exhausted.

So this feature request is to allow the user to set the maximum number of URLs to be contained in a sitemap before it is split. That way, the user can adjust the sitemap size to fit the allocated memory size.

Hello,

I am an IT student. I am planning to develop a web application for my school project but somehow all of our proposal were denied by the teacher. So, I need you guys to back me up. I need an advise to come up with my project. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,
Are you working on any p3p policy (compact header or other) scripts as I know and use your other products
Thanks

I have always been intrigued by Linux, because its free. For my work I support national parks services in developing countries and costs of equipment is a very important issue. So, if you can severely reduce the prices of LEGALLY functioning computers, that really helps. Linux was not worth anything until there was an office suite, and OpenOffice filled that gap a few years ago. OO 1.X did not quite do it, but now OO 2.X does everything a regular office suite user needs and it is very compatible with Bill Gates’ stuff. So OO, as a multi operating system (platform) office suite, basically made Linux a useful operating system for regular users.

But all Linux distributions had a major flaw. One really needed to know a considerable amount of Linux gibberish to update and install packages. As a result, they were basically useless for Jo and Jane Doe and my national parks people.
A few years ago, Xandros (the linux split off from Corel) came along and sold a very easy to install Linux, that facilitated automatic installing and updating of software packages at a cost of something like $90 per complete license.
but it had 2 significant flaws:
1. It needed updating at least once a year to follow the new rapid developments in Linux land and I felt that paying something like $65 per year for staying up to speed was too much. We don’t even pay Bill Gates that for his operating system.
2. The selection of programmes that were given for installing on your computer was very limited.
So my son in law Spencer Stirling, a mathematician and computer nerd (among other things For Linux stuff see his website www.spencerstirling.com with lots of instructions for Linux lovers, all developed and tested on the www.birdlist.org computers and servers) abandoned Xandros and installed another distribution. But with that, I could not install any programme update (I just don’t want to learn Linux gibberish) and became fully dependent. So that would not work for Jo and Jane Doe nor my national parks people.

Then Spencer discovered Kubuntu Feisty Fawn (do those Linux nerds invent names!) and decided to give it a try on one of my computers. I am his test dude and let me tell you, I loved it. It gives the choice of hundreds of programmes to be installed/uninstalled/updated by a click of the button. I use a lot of software for my management, website and scientific work. There are only 2 things I can’t do in Linux: my favourite GIS programme, ILWIS and Frontpage, but none of those are probably of any interest to Jo and Jane. With a bag full of foreign languages I also need a suite of accents, that needed some fiddling in Linux gibberish, but again, no issue for Jo and Jane, as they only speak and write the most primitive European language.
So, with the introduction Kubuntu, anybody familiar with computer basics, can download the completely free version of Kubuntu Feisty Fawn, image it on a CD and install it on their computer, after which they will be forever free from paid software licenses and updates.
Now, if you still need a few programmes to run under Bill Gates operating system, there is a completely free programme VMware (a virtual machine) that allows you to run Windows 98 and XP on your computer. Now that takes quite a bit of Linux gibberish to install, but if you are capable of doing that, you are in business. Spenser installed that on my computer, and boy……, it runs faster and crisper than the old regular version I had on the same computer previously. With lots of work in Frontpage 2000, I work my computer in Linux and XP simultaneously continuously, switching instantly merely by either pushing the button for XP of for Linux, that makes me swap to my XP or my Linux window.

So without license issues at stake for an operating system and software, Computers only need updating through part exchange of outdated or burnt out parts, thus costing a mere $100 per year on average. Who would ever had thought that in 1995, when I paid $2500 for a "state of the art" HP with a 15 inch screen, to be replaced every 2 years for about that price to follow the developments in software.

As Auditmypc host Jim shares so much of his knowledge and tools with us all, I thought I would share this experience with you all, so that you may benefit from this experience if you choose to.

Intrusion Prevention. What a great page! I somehow managed to miss it when first visiting the site. I might have saved myself some time if I had read it before jumping into the TESTS. I guess I started at the top of list on the left and working my way down. The tests got me going off on doing stuff and I never got back to review all the items on the site.

Perhaps it should be the first thing at the top of the Secuity Tests on the left. Or even mentioned in the opening explanations for each of the tests.

Either way people like me that are new to this security stuff need to read Intrusion Prevention before they jump into the tests.

Just an idea.

Can’t figure out why the option is on the list, if it is disabled anyways? Why not simply delete it?

Ability to read a config file that might have a list of valid IP addresses that can run the speed test. (and by ip addresses I really mean subnets)
Its a wonderful program, but is potentially dangerous on network resources.

Maybe the config file could have an e-mail address to e-mail the results to as they are run.

so I can query my ISP about wether they are what they promised.

I cannot copy these currently.

the internet speed test especially

would be good to enable copying of personal results so the ISP can justify their speeds.

Sorry, but being new to this site I am a bit lost.

Jim,

At http://www.auditmypc.com/free-sitemap-generator.asp from the beginning you wrote

"Here to generate a sitemap or find errors in your website? There are many types of sitemaps you can create, such as a Google Sitemap, Yahoo Sitemap, XML Sitemap, HTML sitemap and more. All these site maps can be made using our Webmaster Tool.

* Before you jump into this, you should read everything on this page.

Creative website owners have been using sitemaps to get their content recognized by search engines for years. Sitemaps generated by our Webmaster Tool are recognized by all search engines, including Google.

The nice thing about this type of sitemap is that it can be read by humans AND search engines."

What does "this type" mean? It couldn’t be the Google sitemap becuase you write

"The other, newer type of sitemap is the Google Sitemap. You use our Google Sitemap Generator (located at the bottom of this box) to create a file which you then upload to your web server. This is NOT for humans to read and you don’t link to it from any of your web pages. Instead, you log into Google Sitemaps and tell them where your file is located."

Are you talking about choosing Sitemap, Save Sitemap, XML file? If not when would one choose XML file? – to get better results in the main three search engines?

Thanks,

Roger

Jim,

You were talking about a link checker in the new website generator.

I think I know what you are saying. The "Sitemap" tab information is the link checking function. You know a map and a function are two different things, nor do I see a sitemap at the Sitemap tab. Why don’t you call the Sitemap tab "Link Check"? I don’t mean to sound like a jerk. People take titles at face value. It’s true I didn’t see a site map at the Sitemap tab- but at that point most people wouldn’t assume a name at all for the information until they become use to it and give it their own name. Frankly this is the first time I ever understood my web pages to be links, adding to my confusion.

Also, from what I understand in using your web tool, theres actually no link checking function at the Sitemap tab at all. You can’t, that I can see, enter the domain name at the Sitemap tab. You have to go to settings first, enter the domain, press the green arrow, and then see the information as it’s being created from what the user did in the the settings tab. Actually the Sitemap tab should be "Link Info".

The problem you have now is that the actual site map info is buried in the Link Info tab as a button called "export" and not Sitemap and not readily seen – and should be because that’s the main function of your web tool ("WebMaster NEW Sitemap Generator"). I would change the "Settings" tab to "Sitemap" and have a site map button at the bottom after the domain entry, selections, and results (Locations), and the button would either take you to the Project tab or show the sitemap before downloading it.

Thanks,

Roger

Think something is confusing? Perhaps you have an idea? Feel free to post it here. If I make it, it WILL be free.

Jim.
