Alexa Rating System changed (April 2008)

Just today I saw that Alexa has changed their rating system - their official news announcement says that NOW more sources will be used to come to a rating, also they claim to be using NEW algorithms that will determine the rating even better. Also the traffic from different countries is now taken into account. Hooray - I moved up to Alexa 25,000 (before change: 38,000), which is quite nice for a private blog with some 10,000 visitors daily.

A quick comparison of the famous wpdesigner.com site and my h4x3d.com:

Wordpress 2.5 and chibby 404

9th April, 2008 |

I have just upgraded to Wordpress 2.5 and run a plugin update check. Most of the plugins work, which is amazing! Some plugins (two out of 31) were outdated and the automatic update procedure (either through the plugin central “plugin” or built-in wordpress, I dont know) worked out of the box, too. I just had to input my ftp credentials. Upgrading wordpress to 2.5 went without any major troubles as I used subversion. Again I had to use the sw command instead of the up command.
(see when-svn-up-does-not-work-wordpress-subversion for more and replace 2.3.3 by 2.5, else you downgrade by chance). Weird. Akismet was kind of “crapped out”, so was was form-advanced.php. I deleted them through putty and run an svn update again which fixed it.

Also I did the monthly sql optimization and junked out 9mb of crap. phpMyAdmin’s “optimize” sql works a charm!

What I need to do-
- contact alinks author-
- http://www.alinks.org/ as it is broken in version 1.0rc1
- fix the ela archive: Could not open cache file ‘2008-4.dat’
-restore my fancy 404 page which I seem to have lost. anyone got it?
404 chibby page where are you!
- fix search (looks crap)
- update some of my themes?

There are a bunch of new plugins I want to test, but that has to wait till I have my term paper done (sigh)

Technorati love (apparently)

What I have been up-to

7th April, 2008 |

Some months ago I mentioned that I were busy being General Manager of a twelve-man Student-Company as part of my International Business and Management Studies in Venlo, the Netherlands. Time is progressing, semester 3 finished with excellent grades, semester 4 is almost done now, too. The company had have great success (business deals with RyanAir, nomination best regional company of the year, passed break-even, 15%++ dividend for every single (100) shareholder, best website, numerous local news-paper articles, etc.). Yesterday I took some time to update the motive catalogue for our product. The thing we sell is a foldable, 100% recycleable cardboard chair onto which we spray (airbrush) shapes using a water-based lotion. Our shape catalogue spanned some 90+ pages and was quite boring actually. Most people wanted to have either their company logo (e.g. Airport Weeze: The ultimate low-cost chair from the ultimate low-cost airport), friend’s faces or some general shapes.
On Wednesday we will enter the best student company region limburg brabant (belgium/netherlands), and this is what I was able to come up with while still writing my 30 pages term paper for another subject:

Katalog page1Katalog page2Katalog page3Katalog page4Katalog page5Katalog page6Katalog page7Katalog page8Katalog page9

Some items include deviantart and misc. AI/vector files. Credit given where appropriate.
Oh also, I just noticed I don’t run Lightbox anymore on my site. How odd. I better get one sorted out next week or so, http://planetozh.com/projects/lightbox-clones/ has written a great comparison chart that should be considered. I wonder how my site plays along with Wordpress 2.5, updated moo.tools (running old version at the moment) and then ultimately lightbox.

Note to myself: transfer images over to own server soon, company is liquidated on 31st May!
