Agregating me in XHTML Friends
Just a couple of notes. The page based info will still be available. At the moment the site trusts everything it finds (so if you link to Google with a 'me' attribute it will believe you). I also need to make it follow a site's internal links to find links pages and so forth (but that will mean resolving relative URLs.. ack).]]>
Silly .htaccess

Thanks to Ryan for pointing out the complete failure of all the internal links on the site...]]>
Traffic from somewhere…
XHTML friends suddenly had a lot a of traffic… Not sure where from though. But when I checked today the number of sites added jumped from 900 to 1100 and the number of queued sites went from 200 to 1000! I’m making it crawl them all now 
Upcoming features for XHTML friends
Of course the graphics should also actually display diffferent relationships and stuff but that's just prettyness :P]]>
Should Galaxia use Ajax?
Filed under: Galaxia, Games, Javascript, MPOGs, PHP, Programming, Technology, Web Programming
I read a book on doing XML stuff with JavaScript and thought "Very clever. But Why?". Well apparently it's taking off. It's how Google Maps works.
And if you didn't know (I didn't; reading blogs is actually helping me) Ajax stands for Asynchronous Javascript and XML.
It would mean you'd just drag the map to scroll in Galaxia... :D
In hindsight. No. Too much effort and too many otherthings I need to do...]]>
Google Adsense is getting very clever
I was ready to put it down to coincidence, but noticed ads relevent to the sites I was listing on their pages...
That is very clever
By the way,the site in question doesn’t even need to be displaying Google Adsense themselves (so it’s not even cached ads either; they’re being gnereated live for my site about another site).]]>
Ooooh, ICBMs…
Did you know some blogs contain ICBM data? That (as I’ve now discovered) is a euphemism for latitude/longitude. Well XHTML Friends now displays a map for sites that provide the data
Bloody hell!! It worked!!
nifty) Javascript to XHTML Friends and it bloody worked!
It works in FireFox and IE!
I think http://brownab1.miniserver.com/xfn/page/http://photomatt.net is the most dramatic example. 
Use DB indexes…
Anyway, XHTML Friends was taking about 3 minutes to load a page. I added three indexes to two tables and now it takes a few seconds.
I have never seen such a speed increase come from adding indexes to a database.
So let this be a lesson to me…]]>
XHTML Friends
I've just "finished" the XFN site. Go take a look :)
