Missing In Action: Myself
13 February 2006 in Root | Comments (0)
Sure, I’ve not much posting here lately, but the excuse is the same: not enough time to post stuff. I have been reading, coding, battling the flu, resetting my Pocket PC after ActiveStink ActiveSync hell, licensing wrestling, getting a job (or two), and… that seems to be the whole list… 
Interesting thing I noticed when I made the software section available was that the fastest (although not proven with scientific tests) search engine bot on the planet seems to be the MSN search bot. It noticed my PCWN Buddy existed way, way before Google seemed to find it. Both time, I used the “international” (i.e. not localized version) of the search engines and it seemed like the MSN search engine was the fastest to catch up on things, although we shant forget that Google has an unbelivable big distributed data system where information takes time to propagate to all nodes. The only problem now is that both search engines point to the wrong page (the software page) instead of the correct page of the PCWN Buddy (i.e. /software/pcwn-buddy/).
I was about to ban the MSN bot once back last year when it became increasinly bandwidth hungry, but the banning actions of other webmasters seemed to get the attention of the MSN gang whereby the bandwidth consumption seemed to drop. Seemed like a good thing that I didn’t ban MSN from my website. (It is my biggest visitor according to the server logs! 
)
Also, be sure to check out my other program (that I’ve been blogging about): Dingo. It is one sweet piece of software, especially if you are studying at University of Vaasa.
