Internet connection issues
As you may have noticed over the past few days I’ve been posting slightly less then usual. Well this has to do with the simple reason that I’ve been having trouble with my internet connection.
Every time I got my router up and running again the connection failed. Strange thing was that when I connected the ISP modem directly to my laptop the internet worked. So I knew it had something to do with my router (a WRT54G v5.1).
Planning project leading to less work?
At the company I’ve been working for they started planning every task into a big ass schedule. This should theoretically make the development group work more efficiently. But for some reason for me this has always lead to less work. And being done somewhere halfway through the week.
Now I don’t know if this is because the estimations for the needed dev time is way to high or that I have to many recurring tasks that don’t occur every week, but are scheduled every week.
Either way it means that from Wednesday on I have very little to do. Oh well at least I can play some games every know and then…..
Building a new personal homepage
As of a few days ago I decided that it was time to build a personal homepage for me on the web. I already have a semi corporate one and a blog (which you’re reading;)) But I never made a personal web page where I could publish stuff about me.
Well that’s all about to change, I already registered the domain and uploaded the first part of a web site that contains all of my movies (nothing fancy though).
But now I’m facing the same problem I had when I redesigned this blog. What lay-out and style to use. I really don’t know anymore, after half a dozen web designs and still no winner. What to do…..
Problems In Searching
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...A while ago I started building a search engine for a demo website I have. Nothing to fancy or anything, but good enough to index pages and return results. I’ll post an article some time from now about how you can build a search indexer.
I’m pretty far along but have encountered some problems with indexing web pages. The first was that I somehow was not able to index sub pages successfully. As it turns out this had to do with the fact that my link extractor made a mistake. It included quotes as part of the Url.
The second problem I encountered was that the indexer crawled the same page multiple times in one refresh. First time when they were fetched from the existing index and then once every time another page linked to it. To solve this I added a list of pages already visited, which actually worked ;).
The last problem, which so far I haven’t solved, is that the indexer seems to be unable to find new pages. This happens when the index reaches a fixed size. I have no idea why at this point. But it may have something to do with a bug in the crawler.
So hopefully I will have all of these problems fixed before my next article on how to build a search indexer.
