I want to say is that i have placed some Google AdSence advertising on my blog last weekend not so much to try and make money off of the advertising but to more go through the process of using it on a website. I found that the process of registering and placing the Google adds on my site to be just as strait forward to do as registering for Google’s Analytics and followed a similar process. I am interested to find out what the public think of advertising on websites and especially Google ones so please feel free to leave a comment about what you think and or click on the poll.

After Placing the advertising on pages i thought I would add a poll above it where every month I would ask a new question of my you my visitors. The first one has been “Do you like seeing Google adds on websites ?“ as yet I have not had anyone participate in the poll and am also wondering what you opinions are on web polls and do you ever click on them.

I would also like to note that i am not payed to promote or review Google products except for any revenue gained through the advertising. I am only writing about them as Google is the top search engine in the world and their products are wildly used by a large segment of the population and so i am only adding my opinion of them.

After using Google Analytics for the las 2 weeks some interesting have emerged. Please note that all these figures are from a relatively small sample at the moment but give an interesting snapshot.

1. The main screen resolution used by my visitors is still 1024×768 which is the current standard size for web page design, but the interesting thing is that the next highest is 1280×1024 and a distant third is 800×600. In fact over 50% of my visitors are using screen resolutions of greater than 1024×768.

2. Internet Explorer unfortunately still rules the browser market with 62% of visitors using it. Firefox is second with a 29% share safari is third with 6% and opera is last with 2%.

3. Microsoft’s windows also dominates the operating system market wit 90% Macintosh with 8% and Linux with only 2%.

4. The connections speed of my visitors Internet surprises me with 59% with a cable or DSL connection. Dial up mad up second place with 27% with third “unknown” making up 11% and 4% from a “Corporate” connection (i am not sure what this exactly means as i have not found a definition of what Corporate is in terms of speed).

5. One thing that has really surprised me is where people are viewing my website from. While most of my visitors are from Australia as I am based in Australia and have a .com.au domain 17% of my visitors have been from overseas.

6. At the moment my biggest referrer is Google making up 84% on all entries into my website. The rest are 5% from direct entry, 4% from the theasutralianindex.com.au, MSN has 2%, technorati.com 1% and other 3%.

As these are still early results they are not necessarily a exact picture of traffic for the whole Internet but do show some trends of how i may be able to design websites in the future.

World of Warcraft patch 1.12.0 has bee released today with the major feature of 2 external battlegrounds and cross realm battlegrounds, there are as always some minor changes to items, classes, and trades.

There seems at the moment to be a lot of bugs with the new patch mainly because of cross realm PVP battlegrounds. For a start I was unable to log on the any of the oceanic servers for a few hours as apparently the battlegrounds were causing errors. Also none of my interface plug-ins are working as they are said to be out of date.

With the cross realm BG’s the queues to enter them are much shorter that they had been as I have been waiting for about an hour before the patch and now only have to wait about 5-10 minutes. Another good thing with the new battlegrounds is that you are auto joined into the battleground raid as apposed to before where you have to organize it yourself which in recent times most alliance players have been way to lazy to create a raid. All raid chat in battlegrounds is done in the new battleground channel (/bg) as apposed to raid chat.

The new outdoor battlegrounds are interesting. I have only played the one in the eastern plague lands where you have to capture the for towers and so far the alliance are winning most of the time as we are out numbering the hord. I look forward to playing the other battleground in silithus where you have to collect items for your faction.

I hope that blizzard can iron out all of the bugs so that we can keep beating those Hord (or allaice).

On Friday i bought a Usbex Landrive IDE external hard disk enclosure and a 320Gb IDE Western Digital hard disk as a quick and easy backup solution. I was after an external hard disk as not all files will fit on a DVD and Blue Ray and HD DVD solutions are still rare and very expensive and are unlikely to be as fast either, Also a hard disk is reusable. I also thought that as this enclosure has a network adapter it could be a useful place to store data that can be accessed anywhere on the network any time of the day without having to run a full time file server.

The installation process of the hard disk is very easy as all you have to do is unscrew the 4 thumb screws and 2 other screws and slide the casing off. Then you connect up the cables and place the IDE hard disk into the enclosure, screw the drive into the enclosure with the provided screws. Lastly slide the casing back on and screw in the screws.

The Landrive has 2 methods for connection to a PC, these are USB 2 and Ethernet and comes with cables to connect through both. To use the drive you must first connect the Landrive up to your computer via an Ethernet connection and load up a web browser and load up the web interface. Through the web interface on the status page you can change its name,the admin’s login name and password, timezone (which in my case I could not set properly as they did not have the time zome for me in Adelaide) language, and if you want it to act as a DHCP server ( control the assigning of IP addresses of devices on the network).The status page also shows what hard drisk you have installed in it, the ammount of free space and the total capacity of the drive. The IP Config page allows you to set the Landrive to either get 1 automatically through DHCP or set a static one. The Maintenance page allows you to upload new firmware, reboot the Landrive, and reset the setting to the defaults. In order to make the you need to go to the Disk utility page and format the drive this was amazingly fast as it was completed in about 1 second. The disk utility page also has an option to set when the hard disk should sleep after no activity, and a scan disk utility to search the hard disk for errors.On th Samba administration page you can create directories on the drive, make those directories viewable by computers on the network and set password protection on directories you want to restrict the access to. Lastly on the FTP server page you can set the Landrive to be an FTP server which you could make available to the Internet or just your intranet depending on you Routers settings and set you user accounts with various access levels.

So far the Landrive has preformed well with no problems appearing after being connected to the network for the last few days. The speed of file transfers over the network is a little slow managing about 13Mbps but is a lot faster while connected via a USB 2 connection. This slow network speed mean that it can’t be used to store Digital Television recordings as most channels average 15Mbps for their network stream. While the device is on it runs very quietly as there is no fans and it deadens the vibration of the drive fairly well. As it is passively cooled it does get a bit warm maintaining a case temperature of about 40°c this is probably ok for now but on a warm day it may be a good idea to either switch it off or try and cool it down a bit.

All up I would have to say that the Landrive is not a bad choice for and external hard disk enclosure especially if you want to use it on a network, I think it is also good value. I was able to buy the Landrive for $105 and a hard disk to go in $155 from Getright computers in Adelaide. Totaling $260 for a 320 external USB 2 hard disk and NAS(Network-attached storage) drive.

Just a quick post to say that tonight (Sunday) at midnight channel nine will be showing the next episode of Star Trek Enterprise. I really hope that it they show all of the rest of the episodes without any more breaks and at a regular time slot.

Well! The First episode of David Tench Tonight has aired last night and I would have to say it was not quite what I was expecting. From the early advertising I had thought that the show would be fully 3d computer animated with various guests providing voices for either themselves of fictional characters, and possibly showing some of the behind the scenes of his show. It turned out however to be more of a traditional style talk show with live stars being interviewed by the David Tench character. David Tench is a caricature of the American talk show host like David Letterman and Jay Leno with a lot of their mannerisms. I had also thought that Davids character would be more provocative than he was with most of his comments and jokes not going too far.

Although current technology is as a high enough level to be able to able to create the show live and in real time it seems that the show has most likely been produced in two parts. The first part being the interview with a stand in of most likely the voice talent being motion captured for David Tench. And the second part the refining for the animation and mixing the live actions with the animation.

The show was quite entertaining to watch a but I don’t think I quite lived up to the hype of it’s promotion. The show is at least something different for Australian television of recent times as they are trying to make a show that is entertaining while incorporating new technologies. Wile it is not the best show on television it is certainly not the worst and I do hope that channel 10 will give it a chance and not pull if off air too quickly if nothing else to support and promote the multimedia in Australia and hopefully lead to more 3D animated shows produced in Australia in the future.

Yesterday I thought I would try out Google Analytics on my website. From what I have seen of its statistics if seems a lot more informative than the current website hit and click analysis package i am using being webalizer. The set up process is very easy and straightforward only taking a few steps to set up.

• First you need a Google or Gmain account - I already had an account so that step was done.
• Then you had to decide if you wanted to have a Google Adword account attached to Analytics - I am at this stage not interested in advertising using Adwords, however I am think I might try putting some advertising on the blog.
• Then you have to put in an email address to get an invite code to use Analytics as Google say that the service is very popular and may not be able to allow you to create an account immediately. I put my email address in and got and email promptly from google with the invitation code.
• Then you put the Invitation code in the field on the registration page.
• Then you need to put in some basic information about you (name) and the website ( account name, website address, timezone etc.)
• And lastly you need to copy a small piece of Java script code and place in in the html of all of the pages you want statistics gathered for.

Once you have completed all of the steps all you have to do is wait for some traffic on your website and then view the reports. You are able to set up filters so that Google does not count all of your visits to your website as well as as set up traffic targets.Analytics can produce a whole lot of reports target to 3 groups executives, marketers and web masters. One of the best features that all statistics are updated on an at least hourly basis so you can always see what traffic your website is getting any time of the day as a posed to most sever based analysis programs which normally only update 1 time a day. For anyone wit a website I would recommend you to check out Analytics for yourself. It is not perfect mainly as your website will load a fraction slower as there is more to download and process but seems like s very useful tool especially if you are also run advertising campaigns with Google.

I thought i would quickly say that we had a power outage last night from ~11:30pm-2:am and so the web server and router were off line for this period as I have not gotten around to purchasing a UPS.

I have placed an photograph of a dragonfly that I took today into my newly created photo gallery page. Be warned at the moment the photo does not have a thumbnail and is the full photo of over 1Mb in size. I am going to try out some of the photo gallery plugins before i add anymore photos.

At the moment I am working on a website called NESI NET SA. The website is going to be a web directory for South Australian based NEIS businesses which I am one of. The reasons I am creating the website is that

1. You can never have to many inbound links to your website.

2. The website provides a common place where NEIS and preNEIS participants can meet and discuss issues related to their businesses.

3. To provide a cheap place for the new NEIS businesses to get a web presence if they do not have a website of their own.

4. I am also hoping that some businesses will want their own website created and would use my services.

5. The website will also have information about NEIS and how to become a NEIS business.

In a future post I will explain what NEIS is but a basic summary is that NEIS is a Federal Government initiative to help unemployed people to start up a small business through training them how to start up a business and through income support for the first year of business consisting of and equivalent value to the dole.

I am hoping to have launch the website some time next week and will create a post when It is up.
