iStats - track user traffic on the web

iStats (formerly Imperator Stat), a program that allows you to track user traffic on the web. Its origins date back to 2000 when it built the first version, if lacking a good program, with a clear interface.

iStats - track user traffic on the web



Since then, the statistics has undergone several modifications. In version 5.0, the system log has been written from the beginning, when it became apparent that the previous version, with more visitors, generate very large quantities of logs. This resulted in reduced productivity statistics because it was necessary to process vast amounts of data in real time.

Atomic Clock Sync

Atomic Clock Sync

Atomic Clock Sync utility can help you keep your local computer up-to-date with the exact current time. This program will reference an atomic clock server to get the current time with the greatest accuracy available and update your PC's information.

It even can be set to automatically check the time once a day to keep your PC's time accurate forever. Atomic Clock Sync will connect to one of the time servers operated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States, and will compare the time of your computer with the time on the servers operated by the NIST. This program will then display the difference between your system and the servers and if it is greater than 15 seconds, it will offer you the option of adjusting your PC by the displayed amount. The overall uncertainty in this comparison should be no worse than plus or minus five seconds under all circumstances and will be substantially less than this value in most cases.

Atomic Clock Sync

Atomic clock servers are operated by many governments and some large organizations. These atomic clock servers can be contacted to synchronize a local time with the server's time. This is vital for applications like GPS or Airport Traffic Control, but is useful for our own computers as well. There are two things you need, however, to keep your pc time updated with current times from an atomic clock service...

So What is the Cache

When pages from the web are downloaded to your computer. A page means a html page, like "mypage.html", with a lot of bells, whistles and flashers. These are javascript, flash and images like png-jpg-gif and even mp3-mpeg. Some have scripts that make the pages smart, these are pages that can think and react, they are Live Pages. This makes your page work with a array of computers from a service provider and behave like a software application.

This page and its accessories when downloaded to your computer are stored as files, in an allocated area on your computer. You can view them when you go offline and delete them from your browser history. This is the local computer cache.

In order to speed up the internet such cache of pages may be made at cyber cafes, Internet service providers and other servers in the path, or even at the host. It may be more important for mp3 and mpeg than for simple pages, to make web run smooth. These caches are also flushed periodically.

I feel as web grows, there may be a cache on every pole, at every street corner. Then you can use your computer to watch HDTV.

Sometimes due to stubborn cache in the browser, isp server or host, the files you uploaded, may not show up in the browser. So this is a trick you can use, when you just cant wait.

Delete the file at host, reload your browser a few times till that element does not show on the page, upload the new replacement image or script. Now view page in browser after clearing history. Reload if required. You will see the new updated element.

If it is an xml, js or any other file you have to submit to a webapp for testing, but it does not respond due to cache. Rename and submit file, each time.

Use .... FileZilla A fast and reliable FTP client and server with lots of useful features and an intuitive interface.
