A faster, smarter DNS service
Apr 15th
For those of you that are more technically minded amongst our readers you will already know what DNS is – for those of you that don’t it is what is known as a “Domain Naming Service”.
Effectively what this does is allow humans to type in www.john-willis.com for example into their web browsers. The computer cannot understand where to get this from as computers work best with numbers, this is where the DNS servers come into play. They convert the human readable name to a number which without the service would be impossible for humans to remember (for example 92.35.234.18)
Want to know more about how changing the service you use could speed up the internet, as well as keeping your network safe – then read on! More >

Apr 13th
In a bid to make the site more interactive I have now added the following functionality to the site:
- Article rating now available for all users
- Contact form added to site via “Feedback” link at top of the site
- Related posts will now be shown when you are viewing a single article
- More dynamic social networking features (you can now tweet, blog, Facebook, etc from within the posts)
All this will hopefully make the site more user friendly and make it easier to share things you find useful with others.
