Professors vs. WiFi
murky.waters writes "The New York Times (free registration, profiling) has an article about the opposing views of teacher's demanding attention and students seeking distraction; the current trend toward wireless Internet access in the classroom has students surfing the web and checking their email from the backrow, while instructors are climbing up the ladder... to disconnect the Access Point." Makarand writes "University Wi-Fi networks are heavily impacting student campus life according to this article on NewsObserver.com. In addition to allowing them to keep working while not in their computer labs, the wireless networks allow them to keep in touch with their family, better organize time, complete coursework in shorter periods of time, collaborate with other students and bring computing power into classrooms not available before." -
Obtaining Access Logs for User Web Sites?
David Hilbert asks: "I have a very amateurish home page for sharing family photos and unusually useful links with my friends and family, here. For a long time my son hosted my website on his computer. He added a visitor log to it. Even though my web site is rarely accessed, I still had great joy in looking over my visitor log daily to determine who was accessing my website. My son's situation, changed, however, and he could no longer host my website. I still wanted a web site, however, so had my ISP host it as they do for any member. However, my web site visitor log was gone. My ISP was either unwilling or unable to give me a log file of accesses to my site. I found a temporary alternative, however. I subscribed to a commercial service at the ToolShack to capture and do a fancy analysis of my site's visits (with colorful pie charts, bar graphs, etc). Several months, later, however, Toolshack quit working for me. I sent email to the techies at Toolshack. 'It's a mystery to me' is all I got from them, so I canceled my account. I would like some help finding an alternate web site logging service. I have had no luck thus far. I could do it myself but my ISP doesn't allow any scripts on user's web sites. Any ideas on how I could get a visitor log?" -
