Link: an excerpt from On Writing Well
Here are chapters 2 through 4 of William Zinsser's On Writing Well , a classic book on, well,writing well. Just start with the opening of chapter 2 and keep going:
Clutter is the disease of American writing. We are a societystrangling in unnecessary words, circular constructions, pompousfrills and meaningless jargon.
Remind you of any computer manuals you've read recently? (Hopefully itdoes not remind you too much of WanderingThoughts . I try, but I knowI have a long way to go
A really stupid web spider
Today WanderingThoughts had a visit from the worst stealth spider thatI've ever seen. Given the previous contestants this is a fairly tall order, but I'm confidantI have a winner. The spider:

- promptly made 95 bad requests by failing to treat URLs with a leading slash properly.

Link: Search engine page size limits for indexing
Search Engine Indexing Limits: Where Do the Bots Stop? takesan experimental approach to seeing how big a page various search enginebots will fetch, and how much of large pages they index.I find this an interesting question because it affects how you organizeyour content and generate indexes to it, especially for dynamic websiteswith auto-generated aggregate pages.
One area not investigated in the article is how far down the pages thesearch engine bots will go looking for links to follow. I smell afollowup project for someone
SCGI versus FastCGI
SCGI and FastCGI are both CGI 'replacements', in that they areprotocols for forwarding HTTP requests to persistent daemons instead ofstarting a possibly big, heavyweight program for each request. Ideallyyour web server will have a built in gateway for them; less ideally youcan run a tiny, fast to start CGI program to talk the protocol toyour persistent daemon.There's discussions around the Internet about which one is better; youcan find people on both sides, and to some extent it depends on whatyour
