One interesting point of news for the day for those with an interest in Search Engine Optimization, as any web master should have. We have noticed in the last few days, that our google page rank has risen on a lot of pages from a miserly 4 to a rather more adequate 5. We will be closely checking the search engine referrals to see what difference this makes. These rankings are non linear, with an increase of one in the page rank representing an increase of 5 or 7 times in the pages importance.
Our Alexa ranking is standing at an all time high of 358,000 or so, a 115% increase over the last 3 months.

When will search engine spammers and spyware distributors ever learn? We keep getting emails from these companies, from people who have cleary looked at our site, and still they think we will go into partnership to dump spyware and "pay per click" search results on our users. Give up guys, it's not going to happen.
In other news we have released new versions of Callisto and WhereWasI. The Callisto changes are small, but quite important if you are using a news server with the problens concerned. Conversely you will probably notice very little practical difference on a fast PC with the new version of WhereWasi. The changes are in fact large, making WhereWasI much faster and more efficient, but who really notices the difference between 1/10th and 1/20th of a second!

Once again quite a break in posting news, in this case it has been because of work on a new C++ bitset class, which we may make open source of some description. We think this class could be used in many applications.
This class will find its way into some of our products when testing is completed and will make them faster and more memory efficient.
In other news, the web site, despite the recent lack of attention continues to pick up in the Alexa ranking, being ranked 393,240 today. Not a remarkable rank as such, but a 95% increase on the preceding 3 months.

Seems a while since we last posted any news, this is not due to lack of activiy, in fact there has been quite a flurry of activity in our web site resources section where we try and give back a little to the shareware community with useful articles and lists, such as our shareware site list and now as a new addition some program optimisation resources including some some interesting benchmarks comparing the C++ standard template library with MFC, as well as with some of our own C++ efforts. We found some of the results a real eye opening and if you program in C++ you may well find the results as interesting and useful as we did.
