Pledges are good for those who are already member of doco and want to fetch more donations. I don't know how it will complicate for those who are not yet part of doco forums or never donated earlier. Pledges for mini review, blogging, programs are going to bring visitors to the site, so i don't see any complications there. Just redirect the traffic to 'fund raiser' page and there is no complication for new members. Let's just keep some pledges within forums and put coding snack on display. This will not complicate things as these things are already running on this site.

By removing address bar, how we're going to figure out genuine domains, SSL flashing in favicon place etc ? This type of thinking looks more like from apple fanboys than zen programmers. Sorry, everything that google puts in table isn't good.

Living Room / Re: No more desktop Linux systems in the German Foreign Office
« Last post by mahesh2k on February 21, 2011, 07:50 AM »
If i remember correctly then OSX is unix based right ? I don't know what makes them more easier in comparison to linux/unix based desktops or respective software. If apple can keep things simple for users then why linux/unix developers don't learn something from it ? The reason why microsoft softwares are always easy to learn is because they pay attention to users learning curve. I found linux developers are so obsessed with 'release early, release often' stuff that they don't find time thinking about simplicity in UI. I agree on open formats point- this will keep the world in sanity instead of forcing monopoly on users.

Users have, it claims, also complained of missing functionality, a lack of usability and poor interoperability.
I don't want to rant against linux apps but seriously i see the point. Check out pencil animation app and synfig. You'll find that pencil is very easy to use whereas synfig built-on GIMP toolkit and is extremely hard to use. I mean seriously, it'll take plenty of time to figure out what the heck is synfig. I'll not be surprised if any user prefers to buy toonboom or anime/manga studio or even pencil (free) instead of wasting time learning synfig. Problem with linux developers is that they build things without thinking about users. I mean if you want to 'get things done' then you need to build software with some focused interface instead of scattered widgets like Gimp/synfig.

Multiple-sub entries in the notes is not working for me with ff 3.6.13. I think quiklyst is just statrted with that web app, so many features are needed.

I found this note-taking web app, so decided to add in this thread.

Mouser, i moved my website on 12th december from psychz network to hostgator. I didn't lost  traffic on any of my sites. It doesn't look like issue of downtime to me at all. In case of Doco, this is robots.txt issue which google will now resolve over period of time. By the way, do read post on google webmaster about planned downtime.

« Last post by mahesh2k on February 18, 2011, 03:34 AM »
Are they going to take my articles and make hundreds of articles out of them?
Yes. That thing is called spinner. There are two types of spinner -human and machine. Machine spinner generates articles in matter of few seconds-minutes when you set it with spun words. Your article contains few words which they're going to use for spinning 10x or more time. Google can't decide the quality of any text and that way they can easily get away from it. Human spinners-rewriters are in much safe zone because your article is rewritten and sentence is changed completely. Welcome to gray area in SEO business.
810
That looks like parameters from the robots.txt. Google is allowing us to manually set priority to the crawled content. Now you can decide what to let in or out. Except 'search', all other pages should be let google decide.
811
If you want to avoid search results then just block

Disallow: /Forums/bb/index.php?action=search

I don't see any good reasons for blocking plenty of other pages where google should crawl. e.g.

/forum/index.php?action=recent
/forum/index.php?action=recentdense

I'll check with SMF docs or forums which robots.txt settings members prefer to avoid this problem.
812
Eh ? then how do you want forum to get indexed without bots ? :tellme: current robots.txt is restricting google bots(or any other bot) from indexing forum. You can choose admin/login/logout/reply/notify/mark to disallow.
813
2001?
814
Do one thing, remove all the disallow entries for now. Make it look like this:

Sitemap: https://www.donation...rum/forumsitemap.php
User-agent: *
Disallow:

I'll post what to include in disallow in few minutes.


815
Why not submit request to reconsideration for indexing from google.com/webmasters ? That is one way to get forum re-indexed. Do take a look at the frequency of crawler from webmasters dashboard. Also do check robots.txt. Make sure 'disallow:' filed is empty. AFAIK, this looks like 301 being ignored by crawlers and thats why forum is not appearing in search.

1.SQLite admin ? Not updated version of sqlite in it but can get your small work done.

If they can't change their algorithms enough to detect this cancer, then a crowdsource effort is a good start. At the least, you won't see the same stuff over and over.
If this is the way they want to correct their mistakes then even this attempt can be gamed. Many black-hat users now can create a job on microworkers/elance/mechanical turk for small or big bonus and will ask to filter competitor websites. If the new algorithm is going to detect the pattern of users then sure we're back at square 1.

I want to go creative with this, add more 4 more black bars and let this be visualizer.  :D

Here in india, only apple and blackberry are locked to carrier (with post-paid plan)and from last year even they're open to sale. I think this change was because of too many Chinese mobiles in market. Due to more options people hardly pay attention to any handsets which are locked. 
821
Man, wouldn't it be wonderful for a company to just start making cell phones that are blank slates, not tied to any carrier?

Are all cell phone brands are tied to carrier in united states ? or you can buy sim and phone separately ?

Symbian is dead.
Eh ? i do see less expensive devices using that OS. Sony Erricson is using that OS on low cost mobiles.

That's manual slap from google spam team to JCP. I think marketing SEO team hired by JCP during Christmas event spammed the web with links, ads and redirection.

JCP looks to me violated these guidelines.

-Bad redirects.
-URL Anchor Deception.
-Doorway pages.

So it's obvious that they violated rules of google guidelines and hence penalized. The company used tricks which are detected even by manual intervention by google spam team.
824
Wouldn't that fall more under the heading of contract coding as opposed to fundraising?

Might not be a bad paid service to offer on an ongoing basis, although how you'd square a pay-for-requested-code system with the donation model espoused by Mouser is anybody's guess.


No. I mean just take coding snack up for the event. If someone just posts only idea but don't think for donating then no worries. Like any other coding snack ideas, we just code for the idea we think are possible. Others can blog about this and based on that more donations and traffic/member is possible. It's not paid contract or like that. Same coding snack but chance of producing more apps in one month.
825
I'm fan of solving real world problems that are bugging others. In this case, why not take coding snack idea to next level and solve some typical problems to raise fund ?
