    yeah thats what it is for

    i work in IT and we get issues with the sped it takes to load pages etc therefore

    using this we can time and set it running on a remote machine to log alsorts of things

    mainly used to test and see the page loading time on ecommerce sites etc

    the html reading is not required this was tested only to show the time a pc takes to procvess the page

    i might add at this point it was to compare two diffrent pcs on a network to see what sort of timings resulted over the day etc

    also the socket code is a nice idea true but again in the instance of what is needed this was done in five minutes and worked

    vbs is the quickest and eastest to knock something up in a notepad that has full control etc

    unles s you know something that does not require a compiler on a nomal workstation? (notincluding bat or cmd files etc)

    If tries > 25 Then ErrorMess = "Very Close to Time out"

    If tries > 30 Then ErrorMess = "Failed"

    rem msgbox(tries & ErrorMess )

    Posted

    This may or may not help

    in my Line of bussniess i look after site tech stuff this includes headsets

    the plantronics are much better and what we are using now for the whole company which has over 20,000 call centre staff ( i look after a small 2-3k of them

    that said we used to use GN netcom ones etc the GN has good cancelling etc however over all a poorer design i think

    most places opt for plantronics nowadays unless they have legacey stuff

    Dual boot linux & XP? here's how i did it:

    in Everything Else

    First post a linux one

    i have had duel boots for a while usally grabing isos from linuxiso.org, theres many to chose from and the distros are getting better each day. the main choose i tell people to try is Mandrake with a KDE desktop. Most people no geaks find it very easy a nice gui for installing and once they learn the new syntax concept they are happy. I have my 9 year old nephew on linux mandrake 10.1 which is duel botting with XP home. he set the dueal boot using lilo to boot to Mandrake as the first option. And he plays UT2004 (which he installed) on linux much easier than XP.

    I agree with the statements winodws is the larger OS in the world however once you use LInux you find more and more reason to stay booted into it. is reason that comes to mind is opensoruce.

    another i find is spyware, virus and other malware seems the script kiddies avoid linux more so your that little bit more safer. before i start a whole new agument on the most secure. Yes i know linux has bugs etc but they are patched a lot quicker and help is a lot more easier to find i.e miicrosft x amout of programmers and linux has the potential of the words programmers.
