A cooworker just sent this link around to this shop. Well, at fist it looks like your avarage shop, but then … move with the mouse across a few products … and oooops, there it goes !!

See for yourself: http://producten.hema.nl/

I have seen a few and tried a couple, but with Xenu I have had the fastest, easiest und workable results. No frills nothing fancy, just what you need to check as well as re-check sites you are working on.

Sorry was busy quite bit an stopped mids moving the website to a new server. Well, done now and up and running again. Will now finally upgrade my WordPress and get rolling with the Blog again.

Well, if that is the error you are getting on your Linux box then it looks like you have just got too many things that you are trying to run through the mill in your shell.

I stumbled accross this one

Basic reason being how the shell handles wildcards. If the list gets too long, the above error appears. So it is not the program running into trouble, but your shell.

If you are just using “ls” you can do this simple trick:

ls | grep "\.txt"

Here you are not using any wildcards. No expansion happening. The following grep command is picking the files with the extensions for you.

If you don’t just want to see the files, but use the list the above will not get you too far. Instead we use “xargs”. This nice little tool reads a list of file names and splits them into chewable bits.

If for example all files with the ending “.txt” are to be stuffed into a tar archive, you would use the following line:

ls | grep "\.txt" | xargs tar -rf TextArchiv.tar

So, ls will list all files, grep will return all files with the “.txt” ending and xargs splits the list into a bunch of blocks and calls up the tar command with each block of data. The “-r” is what ensures that the blocks are joined into one in the archive.

So, hope this helps someone.

Well, every once in a while you need to do this. And what was the command again ?? How did that work exactly ?? As my memory is getting overloaded once in a while I decided to post my favorite Link right here, that way I know where it is next time I need it.

That’s the page I use for a quick look up.

Well, I am not really a YouTube user, but I got the below two links … and even I was laughing.

Hope you enjoy them.

Well I have been asked and asked about what these extra Links on Google are and HOW does one get them.

I have no clue !! Honest !!

They have shown up I believe already over a year ago. There is no way to purchase them. They only show up on Links which are at postion #1 for a certain keyword, but not for all position #1 that exist. There are even ones which show up for a keyword-combo (two words being searched).

Google only has a little wishy washy answer … which translated yould mena something like “we are doing it automated on our own but not telling you how so that you can’t go selling it as SEO or anything like that and other engines can’t copy, but yes, the exist.”

The reality of what Google says can be found in the Google Blog or in the help section on Google:

http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=47334

Some examples would be … hmmmm … if you are using google.de, try “fressnapf” if you are using google.com try “raindance” or try “body shop”.

Google says that it is dependent on your website strukture … well, now that is data everyone can work with. Well, not really. But it does tell us that the algorithm is still in the beginning stages and that the easiest is probably to call your folder what the subject ist and to call your links that go there the same and make sure that they are all listed near the top of your index page.

All you need now is a keyword or keyword-combo which will throw your site up on Google on position #1.

Easy isn’t it.

Well I hope this article doesn’t just show my frustration but also gets you some info.

Well you would imagine that the Win 2000 Server would know what time it is. Well if you tell it what time it is, it will know, but you don’t want to go on telling it every week, just to make sure it is still in sync. So, there are a few little services wich will do that for you.

Lets open the cmd shell and type:

net time /querysntp

… if nothing is set up there won’t be much output. So go surf in the internet and pick yourself a time server which is near you. Let’s say you find sntp.atomictime.com.

Now we need to tell your server that this is the machine wich we are going to adjust the time to.

net time /setsntp:sntp.atomictime.com

or if you feel better about having two or more time servers available do the following:

net time /setsntp:"sntp.atomictime.com another.clock.org"
