My Counter

Yay!!! I have a counter, it's a little pitiful at the moment I have to say, but it's there. I just need some more people to come and say hi!!

FTP

FTP or File Transfer Protocol, is used to transfer files from one computer to another over a TCP/IP based network and allows the files to be manipulated on another computer regardless of the operating system. The objectives of FTP as stated by Wikipedia are as follows:

- To promote the sharing of files

- To encourage indirect or implicit use of remote computers

- To shield a user from variations in file storage systems among different hosts.

- To transfer data reliably and efficiently

While FTP does have its appraisals, it has also incurred a fair share of criticisms. Below are a few of them again as stated by wikipedia:

- Passwords and file contents can be intercepted by eavesdroppers

- while data is being transfered, the control stream sits idle, which poses a problem for larger file downloads because the session times out after lengthy periods of inactiveness.

- while FTP does support the resuming of downloads it is potentially very difficult. One can do this through the REST command.

RSS - Really Simple Syndication

RSS Feeds are a great way to keep updated with things such as news headlines, blogs and podcasts etc. It's a fantastic way to ensure that you're always in the loop. RSS feeds can summarize what's on that specific webpage so you can always check what's going on. A lot of sites will have RSS feeds. I found my Anime News Network Feed from rssfeeds.com:

Technorati

Technorati from what I can gather is potentially a very interesting and useful application. It is essentially described as a search engine for Blogs. It allows you to monitor what sort of authority you have compared to other blog users, keep track of your favourite blogs etc. It is the leading authority on what's happening on the World Live Web as stated by "Technorati", the Live Web is the portion, which is constantly changing an updating itself. 

My Blog Background

Hey guys, anyone who views my blog, can you tell me of you can actually see what the background is? It's an image of Sailor Moon. I've been having some issues with the background just showing up as plain pink. So just leave a comment and tell me if you can see my background or if it just shows up plain pink for you.

Thanx Guys!!! xx
