Weather: Current weather is on the site now. There is also a link to the complete current weather. Plan is to pull weather forecast, output that into a nice looking page.

Web cam is online. Right now it is pointed at Chester. Do not waste you time waiting to see if he moves. He does not.

Distributed.net stats: The stats are working fine for me. Currently writing engine to graphically display whatever the user would like. Whether it be average blocks per day, individual machine results, etc. The hard part will be moving from reading text files, to processing all of the previous files, then write to a database, then output the results.

Currently rewriting links.asp to allow remote addition/removal/formatting of links. My current thought on the whole thing is to format the list using tables, or ordered lists. I would like to format the tables based on the content of the link, such as games, distributed projects, work, etc.
Example:

Layout is of course subject to change. Database driven, so I guess assign the category or subject to the <th> record, much like the photos page engine.

Site stats are down as well, something wrong with copyright.asp. Also, error checking for photos is complete, hopefully no more problems… Also, creating new firewall rules, but taking more time than anticipated.

Finally updating the site to XHTML 1.0 Strict standards. It is quite difficult to move to the newer standard from a formatting standpoint. I am a big fan of using tables to format almost anything. I often use tables within tables to nail down, and have full control of the layout, formatting, and look of the page. The left navigation menu includes many embedded tables to control the formatting. The XHTML 1.0 strict does not allow the width attribute in a TD tag. I have no problem with assigning a class in a CSS, but I have used the td width=XX so often, it just sucks. I am in the process of validating all of my pages, trouble with valid JavaScript events killing my compliance attempt for the XHTML 1.0 Strict standard.

Updated the proxy information as well. I reworked the calculation of the current key rate for each node. I used to calculate the rate based on 86,400 seconds. I now calculate the number of seconds between the start of the day and the last results timestamp. Still having slight calculation issues, but it appears to work. One issue is NODEAOL connects to the internet very sporadically, which screws up the code. So, when the node does connect, it will dump many days worth of keys, yet I can only calculate the rate from the start of the day to the result proxy timestamp. Yet another issue for the to-do list

Jetskr9.net is now listed on dmoz.org, only took about a month, which was surprising. Various robots are starting to go through the site. e-cat link is still down until data is moved so that the port 210 will no longer be used.

e-cat link has been temporarily removed, converting database.

RC5-72 stats are now formatted by calendar date, really cool. Took almost 1,000 lines of ASP code to make it functional, but I hope I enjoy it anyway.

SETI stats are now online and running.

RC5-72 stats have been updated as well. Mainly just formatting of the output updates, nothing major.

Web site stats format have been updated as well. Fixed the inline frame issue having double scroll bars in the window.

Proxy stats are up & running

Proxy stats are now available, sorted by date. Statistics are updated dynamically, so when a user requests stats for today, they will be updated up to the time of the request.

I also created a table that has links to the various projects pages for more information. Also created links to my stats on the projects page, kind of cool, I guess.

Most interesting is the little link “Stats” which links to my stats engine.

Project:
Format/track dnet perproxy stats

Able to open text file, parse data correctly. Next step will be to create database, autoassign primary key, enter date, track by IP. IP cannot be the primary key because dial-up connection IP address will change. Usually update once a day, so can parse data based on that.

Go through entire file, then build output generated from database data.

Allow the ability to output all dates in the database, or by single date.

Move e-com sample site off node1, onto node3

Add title form field to .plan listing. Then update main.asp to check for the last 3 entries into the .plan database, outputting the titles to main.asp.

Shuttle Info

NASA has really improved their site as of late. I have always had interest in NASA, more so around the time of when they found the cracks last year.

Added a few new photos of Sam, nothing major. Been working on the e-mail end of things today. All of the issues appear to be resolved.

Send suggestions on how to improve the site.

Shuttle Info

Photos section is mostly complete. The layout appears to be working, a few minor issues like how to handle movies. The only thing missing are pictures, of course. The pictures section is now database driven, so it is much easier to list the pictures, create thumbnails, create/edit albums, add/edit picture descriptions, etc.

Next up, create database driven .plan listing. Also, the initial home page is rather dull, must fix.

First test add to the .plan database

The listing is updating successfully now.
