New Google Search Preview - Caffeine

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 16:15:58 -0400

Google opened up a preview of their new search update earlier this month called Caffeine. To find out where your website may reside in the new search visit:

Google Search - Caffeine Update

Just like the actual Google search, Caffeine's results seem to change on a daily basis. There is also no official word when this update may go live. Most users will not notice any difference, apparently most of the changes are primarily under the hood. The software of the internal structure and foundation has been rewritten.

Google Now Indexes External Resources Loaded in Flash

Sat, 20 Jun 2009 09:35:26 -0400

Google announced it has expanded its Flash indexing functionality by now indexing files that are loaded externally by Flash on a website.

In regards to Adobe Flash, Google also indexes AS1, AS2 and AS3 Action Scripts as well as any text content that a user may interact with as they click buttons or use other input tools (Googlebot mimics user input). The Googlebot also attempts to discover any links in Flash files.

Google has definitely made it a lot easier this past year for websites with Flash embedded, to get more information indexed into the search engine. Besides the odd header, image viewer or logo of a site I still do not recommend a Flash based website to my clients unless, getting as much traffic from the internet as possible is not important to them.

For more information checkout the Google Webmaster Central Blog.

Twitter and Internet Explorer Problems

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 13:34:39 -0400

Anyone else having problems trying to use Twitter in Internet Explorer today? I've tried IE 6 to IE 8 and an getting a File Download - Security Warning dialogue box that says unknown file type and asks me if I want to open it. I can seem to view all other websites fine in Microsoft Internet Explorer.

When I tried Google Chrome and Firefox I am having no problems viewing and using Twitter.

Strange!

The Future of Shared Hosting

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 10:39:11 -0400

The post on Matt Heaton's blog is a little old but it is worth a mention since it is some exciting news for customers of BlueHost and HostMonster. Hosting has come a long way in a few short years. Prices have dropped while resources have increased, now days you wouldn't be hard pressed to find shared hosting around the $5 mark per month. What has hampered shared hosting and what Matt Heaton and his team of developers has almost fixed is resource allocation in a shared hosting environment. In the current shared Linux hosting environmentit is hard to determine the usage of resources by a particular user so servers at any time can slow to a crawl by just one website hogging all of the resources.

Matt and his team has spent 3 years and thousands of hours working on this issue and now are able to track and manage CPU resources and Disk I/O resources on a per user basis.

We have spent considerable time and money modifying the linux kernel and userspace applications (MySQL, Apache, etc) to report exactly which user is responsible for cpu and i/o usage in real time. Lets give an example - Lets say we have user “matt” that does a MySQL query that take 2 minutes to complete (clock time) and 90 seconds of real CPU time to complete (Actually number of CPU seconds required to complete the query). When MyQL passes the query to specific thread to be serviced we start tracking for that particular user the EXACT cpu time that was used, and the exact number of system reads and writes as well as device specific reads and writes. We can use this to track and slow down the extremely heavy users in real time so that the server is calm and available for everyone to use.

This means a website now can only use the resources allocated to it, the user is contained much like in a Virtual Private Server environment (VPS) but at less cost. No more can one website make an entire server of websites come to a standstill.

In most cases a website that hogs resources is not done intentionality, maybe Google is suddenly sending the site more traffic and the user didn't realize it. This way, not only is the other websites on the server protected but the user will be informed of any changes to his resource use as it happens as well.
