 With the company and the web site developing all the time, it does
mean that loads of things happen each day, but probably most days there
is not something happening that makes the front page of the site, and
one thing we hate is that impression it can leave that not a lot is
going on.

The development of "ThereIWas" our latest Internet Explorer add on has hit the milestone of being genuinely useful and at least seeming stable. This is the point where we can put it in the hands of a few beta testers.
The release date for "ThereIWas" is still a little uncertain as this is product which requires a build up of use to see all the tweaks that need to be made to make it perfect.
But watch this space, as we think it is a great little idea.
In other news our web site still seems to be on the up, showing a 560% increase in Alexa ranking over the last 3 months. |

It has been a few days since the last "daily" update, largely because we are heads down on the latest new product, AuntyJean.
This is a product in tune with our "Family Shareware" theme and is an Internet Explorer toolbar designed for safer browsing for children and for that matter adults who want to tune out offensive content.
The product is now at an Alpha stage and is being trained to provide a range of censorship levels. Hopefully it will be in Beta within a very short time period. We know there are other filtering products out there, but we feel ours will fill a useful niche. |

Today saw the release of the WhereWasyI? internet explorer history search toolbar.
We have had two shareware sites rate this product so far, based on Beta versions and they both came out with a 5* rating.
Hopefully this is a sign of ratings to come as we start the wholesale submission process using our shareware submission resource list.
Meanwhile we continue to be pleased with the results of out search engine optimisation of the marsjupiter.com web site. every month this year has seen significant increases on the previous month and the Alexa ranking system is still showing us as having a 400% increase over the last 3 months. |

The work on the release of the WhereWasI? Internet Explorer Toolbar continues.
The new search algorithm is now functioning well and and returning results practically instantly.
We anticipate the 1.00 release will occur in about a weeks time. There are no known issues currently, but we would rather be conservative about this, as it does sit within Internet Explorer.
It may just be us, but we are finding it a good substitute for use of "Favourites". It takes less time for a competent typist to type something like "marsjupiter home" than to select with the mouse from the favourites menu. |

The WhereWasI? Internet Explorer toolbar has already received one 5 star award from a shareware site despite its beta status. We fully expect a large number of such awards for the final version.
The major step from the beta to the actual release is going to be the search speed. The Beta searches at about 300 pages per second on a typical PC. The last test on the new search algorithm was about 7 pages per second! This was debug code, the even in the release code the search speed at the moment would be much slower. However our new search code has the feature that the more pages there are too search, the faster it will go, and we estimate when you have 30,000 pages to search, it will search at least 50,000 pages a second. Tomorrow some further testing and benchmarking will put this to the test.
Meanwhile back at the web site, our Alexa ranking continues to make good reading, showing a 500% increase in the sites ranking in the last 3 months. |
