Well, I’ve not done anything since last posting about this (or before), but the Super Simple Photo Resizer has edged up a bit from #15 to #12 in Google. Just a little bit more and it will be in the top 10! That’s a bit more vindication for my assertions that Robosoft really and truly… Continue reading Photo Resizer Hits #12 in Google

Opening Up OpenCandy
I’ve been involved in a discussion about OpenCandy over at DonationCoder. It’s kind of got a fair bit of fight in it as the topic is hot and the opposing sides are passionate about the issue. What’s the issue? Spyware. A few people have accused OpenCandy of being spyware. In the above post I briefly… Continue reading Opening Up OpenCandy
Download Site Problems
When you’re submitting to download sites, you can’t take much time except of a few good ones like Softpedia and CNET. Most you just need to get done and ignore any problems. Many won’t list you at all, while other will list you months down the road. And there are so many of them, that… Continue reading Download Site Problems
MIME Type vs. Actual Type
A while back I posted Internet Explorer Download Problem: “Unable to open this Internet Site” about how Internet Explorer doesn’t behave properly if the MIME type is set properly. Shortly after I upgraded Firefox and discovered that they had changed the behaviour for Firefox and things broke. I was serving up an EXE with a… Continue reading MIME Type vs. Actual Type
Getting Feedback from Experts
The new site is near ready, so it was time to seek advice from some friends that are experts. I asked Nick Bradbury to help out and he got back to me with some excellent feedback. While I can’t immediately do everything on his list of things to improve, I’ve done some and the difference… Continue reading Getting Feedback from Experts
Using Robosoft from Ground Zero
I’m about to launch a new site. It’s almost ready and I’m just basically waiting for some feedback from a few trusted friends that are knowledgeable in the field. (Heck, they’re flat out top guns.) The site has zero traffic right now. None. Nadda. And as such, it has zero downloads and zero position in… Continue reading Using Robosoft from Ground Zero
Internet Explorer Download Problem: “Unable to open this Internet Site”
Internet Explorer 7/8 throws an error when you pop a download through a meta refresh or iframe. The error message looks like this (I’ve blurred the domain as it’s not public yet): Searching around didn’t reveal anything of any particular use. Most “solutions” were for clients, which when you’re running a server, doesn’t help much.… Continue reading Internet Explorer Download Problem: “Unable to open this Internet Site”
Opening Up Software Business for Complete Transparency
Transparency is usually a good thing. At the moment I’m debating opening up a new site that I’m working on with complete transparency. Transparency as in site statistics, revenue, business strategies, and even the underlying motivations and philosophy behind the software, site, and monetization. The site isn’t quite ready, and the software isn’t quite ready,… Continue reading Opening Up Software Business for Complete Transparency
Some Praise for Internet Explorer
No. Really. I’ve found something very good in IE. Well, I didn’t find it, but while reading on computed CSS values, I came across this thread. One of the participants recommended Internet Explorer and its built-in development tools for tracing computed CSS values. I’d been trying to find out just WTF was going on with… Continue reading Some Praise for Internet Explorer
New Google Button
There’s a new Google button that I want really badly. I know that it would be super useful for billions of people, and that everyone would finally breath a sigh of relief to see it. Here’s my $0.02 quick, sloppy mockup of what it could look like with a real search. It’s a bit sloppy,… Continue reading New Google Button
