And what happened to Google?

Can’t you see? Or it’s just my problem?

Google: Im Feeling Fucky

I don’t think so. I’ll tell you more - many people feeling fucky nowdays. Today they’re webmasters, but times when guy behind a browser will fill himself fucky - it’s a not-so-far-away future.

Put on Fire in the Fox’s ass!

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

Make sure that you have this browser:

Speed Up Firefox

Do you know FireFox well?

And how about advanced settings page? And how about direct access to it? OK, just type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Just like this:

Firefox's advanced settings address

Now, what do you see?

It’s your advanced settings, basically you can’t reach most of them in other way…

How To Speed Up Your FireFox

Look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

They looked just like this:
firefox-network-settings

Now,
Set network.http.pipelining to true
Set network.http.proxy.pipelining to true
Set network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to 10 (or 15)
Right-click, select New->Integer, name it nglayout.initialpaint.delay, set value to 0
Restart Firefox.

What we’ve done?

We allowed to make up to 10 (15) connections at once. Make sure not to set it higher than 20.
Also we allowed to act with received information with zero waiting time.

404 in logs

Friday, July 20th, 2007

I hate 404s. I use awstats to watch my logs, and I hate when it shows some 404s…

I can tolerate some virus-generated URLs but when I see this “/feed%3Ahttp%3A//eyedmax.com/feed/“or search bot asking me for robots.txt or favicon.ico (and I haven’t one) - I can blow up.

My advices to all webmasters are following:

  • put all common files (including index.html, robots.txt and favicon.ico) to your site
  • validate the code for “strange” URLs
  • analyze log files
  • use the automatically generated site map

Don’t trouble Google ’till Google troubles you!
