[Freedos-devel] FreeDOS web site updates

2011-06-29 Thread Jim Hall
I wanted to share some "behind the scenes" changes on the FreeDOS web
site. You may not have noticed, but I've cleaned up many of the web
pages, including some updates and new features. The latest changes
include better support for mobile web browsers.

In the past, if you used a mobile device to visit the FreeDOS web
site, you automatically saw a mobile-enabled page. In the last few
weeks, I've trimmed what appears on the mobile version, so pages will
load faster. For example, news items on the front page don't show full
details when viewed on a mobile device - you can click on the link to
read the complete news item.

That's great on a mobile phone or similar device, but for larger
devices (iPad?) on a Wi-Fi connection, you may prefer to see the
regular, full-size web site. There's now a link at the bottom of each
page for "view full site" (or "view mobile site" if you're on the
full-size version.) This sets a cookie in your web browser for 1 hour,
to change your web site preference.

You can change this manually by visiting http://www.freedos.org/?m=1
to set the mobile view, or http://www.freedos.org/?m=0 for the
full-version web site (handy for bookmarks.)

I don't want to spam, so this will be my last update until it's fixed:

At least two other sites have reported a similar VHOST outage to SF, so 
this isn't something specific to us.  I also entered my ticket to the SF 
support, and referenced one of the other tickets already opened.

[Freedos-devel] FreeDOS web site problems

2006-10-17 Thread Jim Hall
In case you haven't noticed, we seem to be having  a problem with 
www.freedos.org.  This is hosted at SourceForge, so I'm in the process 
of opening a ticket with them.

The site at freedos.sourceforge.net is working fine though, so please 
use that until www.freedos.org is working.


Thanks,

just to show how much interest there is :  my mirror 
freedos.maussner.net was just added today and not even 12h later stats 
say 12945.12 MB used so far.. almost 13 gig in half a day seems "big" 
(and ist just one mirror out of several on the freedos site).

Yikes.  Well, I guess that's what /. will do to you, but it never ceases 
to amaze me when FreeDOS gets slashdotted, I mean it's DOS after all o.o

[Freedos-devel] FreeDOS web site

2006-09-07 Thread Jim Hall
We're still getting hit pretty hard on the web site, although traffic 
seems to be dropping.  We're down to about 50MB/hour.  To help bandwidth 
issues, I've updated the stylesheets to be very light on the images - 
the FreeDOS fish logo and the (mandatory) SF.net logo button remain, but 
other images are gone.

I'll put the site back in a few days.

Although, I kind of like the cleaner look ...


If you're curious about web site stats, visit here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/detail.php?group_id=5109&ugn=freedos&mode=week&type=prweb


As soon as word started to spread about "1.0", we were flooded with hits 
on the web site.  1.8GB for 4 Sept, and 1.6GB for 5 Sept.  After that, 
it's tailing off.  Yesterday (6 Sept) was "only" 845MB.

Sorry 'bout that.  :-(  I modified the css, and updated all the html 
pages to use the new div construct.  But I forgot to go back and modify 
the CGIs.  So that's why the text looks weird.


It also looks weird on "Newsitems" and "Technotes" and "Software List".

I'm fixing that now.  Oops.

Hi from Italy.
www.freedos.org looks blank, empty




I'm very embarrassed by that.  Sorry.  Just before I signed off last 
night (after sending my note) I tweaked the "get-index" script on 
www.freedos.org, which constructs the front page every hour.  It was a 
minor change, so I didn't test it.  But I made a typo, so the script 
broke.  It wrote a zero-length file every time it ran.


Oops.  :-(

Fixed now (and tested).

I've also removed the FreeDOS News Bits section with a "FreeDOS 
Pressroom" section.  All the News Bits files have been renamed so they 
have the year tacked on front (so the items sort by year) which also 
makes things a lot easier to find.
