Recently I needed to find the internal pagerank of a website… and I had a really hard time. There were a couple applications people made, but they didn’t always work every single time.. and they were really outdated.

You would think there would be tons of these sites on the net.. but there really aren’t many of them. I did find one site that really worked well.

Diagnostic web has an internal pagerank page that does a really good job. It sometimes doesnt get all of the pages in the domain/site but it usually gets them all. One thing to note though, it does take a long time to get the information. Another note is that you only get to use the service 4 times on the same IP.

How can you bypass the 4 requests per IP? Easy, use proxies. Web proxies work fairly well, it all depends on the proxy you’re using.

Head on over to Proxy.org and pick about 10-20 proxies, and then go to the Diagnostic web page. You’re bound to find 2-3 proxies that work well and give you another 4 requests.

Another tool I found useful was the Web Diagnostic For WebMaster. It gives you all sorts of information about your site like inbound links, pagerank, search engine postition, and a bunch of other things.

Do you have a site you use to check pagerank or other things about your site? Post it in the comments.

I’ve never written about Facebook apps before, but I have just finished making an app with my partner.

The app is called The Free Cinema, and like the name implies, it’s a cinema, but free. There are all the latest movies available to watch for free.

You pay “tickets” to watch movies on the app, and to get more tickets you either invite more friends, or do a simple survey to get many more tickets.

I suggest you check it out: http://apps.facebook.com/thefreecinema/

KillerBlog is now hosted on a new host.
I has having some problems with my old host, and I decided to upgrade to a better company with better servers. I think my old host was overselling by a lot, and it was hurting performance.

I’m now hosted with SharkSpace. I really like their service so far.

Thanks!

BigBangGames has just announced a new xbox live indie arcade game they’re working on. It is a 3rd person tower defence titled Dead on Arrival.

This game will feature a bunch of different kinds of enemies, several types of towers you can build to help defend your wall, and an entire medal system built in. Something no game has on the indie market right now.

I’ve spoken to the lead programmer at BBG and he’s told me there are still a few bugs to iron out, and a few features he’s yet to implement. He assures me the game is coming along really well.

Anyways enough blabber, head on over to BigBangGames to check out Dead on Arrival.

Alright I recently took a little trip to a local graffiti spot. This place is nuts… and has some HUGE names there. Some of the graffiti dates back to around 2004-2005… The sun is starting to take it’s toll on the paint though. A lot of the paint is starting to get brittle and chip off, and same with the concrete, it’s starting to flake off which take the paint with it.

Anyways enjoy this nice little batch. There will be about 50 more pictures after this, I took around 60 total.

Thanks!

Here are some graffiti background pictures I took today. Enjoy them!

Thanks!

TMZHosting has just finished transferring all of their sites to new servers. They are now running on way more powerful servers that will hopefully speed up my websites!

I’ve never had any problems with their hosting, and this transfer went fairly smooth. I had some downtime, but I expected it to be honest.

Since they just got new servers, they’re looking to fill them up. If you sign up with the coupon code: TRNS50%OFF you will get 50% off any shared/reseller/proxy plan for life, recurring. I think that’s pretty awesome.

Hurry though, this coupon code will only work for 30 sign ups.

Here are some graffiti backgrounds to add to the collection, enjoy.

Well it’s been about two months now since I first put together my WHS. I gotta say it’s so awesome. I use it as an archive for my music, movies and tv. I have gotten quite the collection since I started putting it all together.

I started off with three hard drives, two 500gb and one 1tb drive. I didnt know that when you install Windows Home Server, it creates a 20gb partition on the first drive (the OS drive) and doesnt get used for anything else. This really sucks because I have a 445GB chunk of hard drive space I cant use. WHS will start putting data into that part of the “pool” only as a last resort when the other drives are full.

Right now I have four hard drives in my hard drive pool as it’s called. I added another 1tb drive, the WD “Green” drive.

Here are some screen shots:

Since the end of school, I’ve had a full time job. Needless to say, i’ve been making a lot of money, and I havent had much to spend it on, so I decided to go ahead and finish building my Windows Home Server.

I already had the case… which I bought about a year ago with the hopes of building a media centre pc, that didnt go over to well. After I scrapped that I decided I would build a WHS system for our home network. Since all I had was a case, (you can check it out here, its the silver one) I needed to buy everything else.

Here is my parts list:

Motherboard: Gigabyte MA74GM-S2

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ (About 2.9GHZ)

Memory: OCZ SLi 2048MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHZ (2×1024MB)

PSU: 585W No name silver box (Orion I think)

Hard Drives:

• 1 x Seagate ST3500320AS (500 GB)
• 1 x Seagate ST3500410AS (500 GB)
• 1x Hitachi HDT721010SLA360 (1 TB)

And of course the OS is Windows Home Server with Power Pack 1.

The build went very smoothly, the motherboard is labeled perfectly. There were no problems with attaching the case leds, power switch or reset switch. The motherboard has 6 SATA connectors which is perfect right now. I have plans on adding another 1-2 TB hard drives later on.

I decided to go with AMD because of the price point. I picked up the processor and motherboard for $200 combined, which I think is a very good deal for a 2.9ghz dual core processor, and for a motherboard that has very few complaints.

Integrating it into our existing network was also a breeze. I decided to keep it wired, and connected it to our router. Right now we only have a G network, but will soon be upgraded to N by the end of the week. After a couple days of doing the nightly backups, a speed increase is definately in the works. Transfering 700GBs of Movies/Pictures and home video isnt a speedy operation on a wireless G network.

Well, thats my little home server adventure thus far. I’ll leave you with some screen shots.
