Doing it MY way!
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.

Just spend a few hours getting Windows 7, Apache, PHP and MySQL up and running.
It should have been fairly easy, but there was a small problem.
Yes you would, and you should!
Explanation follows shortly. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been helping out a friend with his new site. He payed some programmers from India a few hundred euros to complete the site, and they did.
However, they made more than a few errors!
Going through my “huge” archive of digital camera images, I noticed that I had some duplicate images. The filename differs but the content is the same. Now I could just download a tool from the almighty internet, that could compare all my images, but that would be going to far! Why not give it a go myself?
Just about one week ago, my baby son was born so blogging was moved down the priority ladder. I honestly thought that I would have just a tiny bit more time on my hands, since he is supposed to sleep most of the time. Boy was I wrong 🙂 Anyways, the misses and I are … Read More “Family increase” »
