Xinu lives on

by Brad Linder Jul 21st 2007

Shortly after we discovered web statistics site Xinu, the developer's servers seem to have overloaded, because users reported that the site was unavailable.

Well, it looks like Xinu's been resurrected. The developer has published the source code under a creative commons license and listed a series of mirrors where you can check out the service. The developer suggests that the code isn't particularly pretty, but anyone with the necessary know how is welcome to help work out the bugs.

In the meantime, Xinu's still a nifty little tool for checking a whole slew of web statistics in one place. Among other things, you can find your Google PageRank, your Technorati Authority, how often pages from your site have been submitted to social bookmarking pages, and how many readers have subscribed to your site using Bloglines.

Of course, all of this is freely available data, but Xinu saves you the time and trouble of tracking down each statistic one by one.

Hi

We have loaded Xinu up and made it default to english at www.seogeeks.info.

This is sitting on an Amazon EC2 Elastic Computing Cloud with a few Server Instances running so I am hoping we wont have any trouble with it running out of computing power.

Also I am sharing the Adsense revenue with the original creator.

Thanks

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
