Introducing GRML
Posted on Jul.11, 2009, under Computer and PC Tips No Comments
Creating a new markup language.
Introduction.
General Reuse Markup Langauge, or GRML, is a markup language for web browsers. It has the data definition features of character-delimited files and XML, with the hyperlinking and form support of HTML.
The purpose of this article is to show why GRML exists and how it complements HTML, XML, RSS, and character-delimited formats.
Background.
GRML is not the result of a specific plan. It was developed as a solution to another problem, namely reusing data from a web service. [...]

DBxtra goes ASP
Getting to the information hidden within corporate databases has always been a problem for all levels of an organization.

DBxtra can drastically cut into the time required to extract information from corporate data sources and liberate users from the IT bottleneck. DBxtra is committed, and succeeded in providing a [...]
What is The Google Sandbox Effect?
Posted on May.18, 2009, under Web Traffic No Comments
In the age of fair competition you may find it hard to believe that a search engine may hinder the appearance of a new website. This is what is currently believed to be happening on more web servers today. Some programmers have viewed Google as uncomfortable to rank newer websites until they have proven their viability to exist for more than a period of "x" months. Thus the term "Sandbox Effect" applies to the idea that all new websites have [...]

Does Microsoft Have any Real Competition? Copyright (c) 2003 Gregory S. Diehl In a word, yes.
And I think they are about to get more.
Microsoft primarily dominates in operating systems and office productivity software.
Windows is going to be the dominant OS for some time. But I think things will get much more interesting with the Novell/SuSE merger. The giant IBM was already behind Linux. (People forget that if IBM’s software division were a separate company, it would be number two only [...]
CGI – A secret to build an Internet Empire. What does “CGI” stand for, anyway?
Posted on Apr.17, 2009, under Web Design No Comments
A CGI program is any program designed to accept and return data that conforms to the CGI specification. CGI programs are written in a variety of programming languages such as, C, Perl, Java or Visual Basic. The most common language for CGI programming is PERL.

Tracking Your Visitors
Posted on Apr.09, 2009, under Web Design No Comments
Once you’ve got some visitors, the chances are that you want to
know more about them. How many are there? Where are they from?
What web browser do they use? Luckily for you, there are plenty
of ways to find out.
Server Log Analysis
Most web servers keep a log of every file they send, with
information about the request they received. These request
headers contain all the information a user’s web browser sends
to the server when it asks for pages, images or other files. The
information includes [...]
The Basics of Web Servers
Posted on Apr.07, 2009, under Web Design No Comments
There are a lot of web servers out there. Whenever you go to a
website, you’re downloading it from a web server. When you pay
money to a web host, what you’re really doing is renting a space
on their web server. The Internet consists of millions of
computers networked together, but it’s the servers that are
providing all the information that makes up the web – you can’t
have a website unless it’s on a server.
What is a Web Server?
A web server is really just [...]
LAMP: The Most Popular Server System Ever
Posted on Apr.03, 2009, under Web Design No Comments
You may have heard of a server system called LAMP, and wondered
what it is. Well, the answer is that LAMP isn’t any one thing on
its own – it’s actually a combination of four technologies.
Together, the LAMP technologies form the most popular overall
server system on the web today.
Which technologies are they? The answer lies in the name. LAMP
stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL and Perl/PHP. The term
originated as a marketing word to help point out that open
source (free) software, when combined, could [...]
Encryption and Security with SSL
Posted on Apr.03, 2009, under Web Design No Comments
When it comes to accepting online payments and other sensitive
information over the web, normal HTTP just doesn’t cut it. It’s
an insecure method of communication where everything is sent
over the wire in cleartext – it’s completely trivial for anyone
in a network administrator position at a business or ISP to gain
access to the network, and most networks are even vulnerable to
’sniffing’ by non-privileged users of the network.
Things are bad enough that you really shouldn’t even transmit
any passwords without taking additional security [...]
