I got a chance last week to go to see Flight of the Conchords live show - absolutely great show, I have to say it was probably one of the best live shows I've been to. I think part of thereason it was so good was partially because they both clearly were having a good time, but I suspect another big reason was because it's a comedy thing. For example, a couple of times they messed up while performing a song, but they went with it which made it into something even funnier than if they had done it perfectly. One thing that I was left wondering is why they don't record and sell DVD's of the actual show you go and see - everything was projected in HD, and I would have loved to own a copy of it. Probably something related to intellectual property rights, etc - really a shame...On the release front I've put up a new utility called AnonyMac , nothing terribly exciting, just a simple utility to allow you to change the MAC address of your NIC if you need to. I've needed to do it in the past for network testing before, but I think it's more common for users to use it these days to get a wireless access point they're using to re-issue their IP settings when they're having problems. It also has all the manufacturer MAC address allocations, so you can easily see who the manufacturer of a particular MAC is.

Use it or loose it...

I've had feedback from quite a few





I've had feedback from quite a few LinkExaminer users that are using the program to tune up their website, and many questions revolve around the SEO column, and how to use it. Although it pains me to do it, sometimes I actually will sit down and put finger to keyboard for something other than code, and I've written a new article on using a link checker for search engine optimization (SEO) . While I obviously use my program in the article it really applies to any link checker, plus many of the tips are just good practices whether or not you even use a link checker.

Let the links flow...

The last few weeks of work have paid off and the latest AnalogX release is now available - AnalogX LinkExaminer ! If you're not familiar with what a link checker is, then this probably isn't for you. ;) What it basically does is scan all the pages of your website following the links much like the search engines do. When it's done, you can see if you have any problems with the site, such as broken link, etc. It also has the ability to generate both a sitemap of the site when it's done (in the XML format the Google likes), as well as custom template-driven HTML reports. All and all I think it turned out quite well and hopefully everyone will get lots of value out of it!

TV, links, etc
