This blog has a new location!

OK. blogger has been fun and easy to use, but I miss trackback, rss, and other features I could have using an other blog engine...

So, this blog has moved to vrypan|net|log where I setup a new blog using WordPress.

I managed to move the old postings, however I lost the comments... I'll se what I can do.

-- Update:

Clusty the Clustering Engine

Clusty the Clustering Engine

It looks like this search engine is the joint effort by looksmart.com and vivisimo. Looks nice and fast. I will need some time to use it before I can understand its features.

Firefox is hot (and here are the numbers to prove it!)

It looks like everybody is talking about Firefox. It's not just WIRED that declared Firefox "hot", or Charles Cooper, Executive Editor, CNET News.com, who dumped IE for Firefox. It's the whole Internet community that seems to love it!

I did a little research and here are the numbers to prove it:

- spreadfirefox.com reports a 3,000,000 downloads in the period 14/9 - 2/10!


- w3schools.com report a steady growth in Mozilla-based browsers that visit their site. It is interesting to note that Mozilla has doubled it's usage (8,2% to 16,9% in the period Jan 2004 - Sep 2004)! (a nice graph of the data)

- my g-metrics.com reports an exponential growth in the number of pages reported by google for "firefox".


(I guess Intelliseek's Blogpulse Trends would show the same thing, but the site was not working at the time I wrote this...)

Does anyone else have access to similar stats?
