I’ve started using twitter again, so if you want small updates about whats happening with NZB Completion Checker, follow me on twitter! Most of the twitter updates will never hit this site, so it should be worth while for you to folow NZBcc 🙂

Bitcoin update

First off, thanks to all the people who donated some CPU time. Secondly, I’m sad to report that it did not pay off 🙁 To create a single bitcoin, it would take almost 40K visitors, who stayed on the site for more than 2½ hours. With the current rate of people donating CPU time, it would take close to 7 years to complete a single coin. With the value of bitcoins dropping like crazy, that bitcoin would probably be worth less than $1 at that time. So I’m removing the feature from the homepage. No need to waste any more CPU cycles!

Yes, it’s true! A new version of NZB Completion Checker has been released 🙂 Howver, this is just an alpha release, so there might be bugs – and most likely are!

This new version brings some new features, which should please most people!

It shouldn’t be more than a few days, before the next version of NZB Completion Checker is released… though, it will be an alpha relase (COULD be a bit unstable!). It will introduce a couple of new nice features 🙂

First of, you might have noticed that your computers fan all of a sudden just turned on when you hit this website! Sorry about that 🙂 But there is a good reason for it!

Since support/donation has been more than lacking, I decided to make it easier for people to donate.

Google+ get it while it’s hot!

Google+, Programming

A few days ago, Google™ launched their “Google Plus(+)™” social network. Now as you can read all over the internet, it seems pretty good, and most people say it stands a pretty good chance of competing against Facebook™. Now, like so many other people I’m on the Face with my friends, not such much for the “social” aspect of it, but because Facebook allows you to develop applications for their platform.

When developing FB applications, your can have ads on your page… from a few select Facebook approved ad providers. Guess what? Google Adwords™ is NOT among them. It used to be, but then (I guess?) FB started a fight with Google.

But back to Google+ … lets see what this beast can do..

I was wondering, I anyone was up to the task of designing an icon for NZB Completion Checker? The current one pretty much sucks … a lot 🙂 I need the icon in .ico and .png formats! The only thing I can give you, is some credits in NZBcc’s about box – and a link … Read More “NZB Completion Checker Icon” »

I finally had some time to update NZB Completion Checker (NZBcc). This new update includes some bug fixes and som new features. The bugfixes were all low-priority fixes, but they still needed fixing.

And then a new major feature was added, a first for all the NZB checkers/validators out there.

Webpages easily contain a lot of duplicate content. This however, can hurt your Google pagerank. Duplicate content can also slow down your pages.
Currently I’m building a new site with some friends. This site has a sign-up form with all the usual fields like name, email, country and so on. Now, to make sure the new user enters a correct country, they are presented with a complete list of countries in the world. This list was, until a few days ago, loaded into all the pages on the site = bad for performance!

This is how I solved it:
