Hey there! Some days gone by and here is the latest update on the SEO stuff I am doing: Actually the Linux Counter has reached the position 19 on Google when searching for “linux“. That is fantastic! The global traffic rank on Alexa now is at 546,599 which also is very amazing! Compared to the time when […]
Hey there! I just want to announce, that my SEO stuff is very successful! I have started with SEO two months ago with an alexa global rank of about 1,900,000, a Google pagerank of 2 (IIRC) and a Google search position for the searchstring “linux” of way below position 200. Since then, I’ve done many, many things to […]
Hey peoples! I am soooo sorry for the downtime today morning. This was definitly my own fault… I’m at moving the whole Counter (database and source) to a RAM disc. While this process and a restart of the server, the database was accidentally deleted. So I needed to import the latest backup from 5 hours […]
Hello folks, we’ll do a BIOS upgrade very soon on the server. This means a short downtime of about 15 or 20 minutes. So, when you get an error, please just try again a little bit later. Thanks in advance Alex
Hey folks, we had a massive and long downtime today in the morning of about 7 hours. Fortunatly I can say, that this was not because of the Counter Project itself. Unfortunatly, I actually don’t even know what has caused this. The only thing I can say, that I was not able to connect to the […]
Hey peoples! I’ve just done some great optimizations in the database table structure with indexes and such things. I’ve also deactivated the translation tool (for now), because this is the great major problem when being logged in to the page. This tool slows down the page loading by about 6 seconds! So for now, this […]
Hey there! I know, I’ve asked you for help me with this App, but I really don’t want to wait until Christmas next year until one has the time and is willing to do this. So I’ve now done this by myself. I’ve just (re-)released the new version of the official Linux Counter Android App to […]

I’ve just cleaned up the kernels table. We are measuring the statistics only from the official kernel versions from kernel.org. It makes no sense to show a kernel version like “3.16.23.11-ubuntu5-amd64-012345” or something like that. Instead only the single kernel versions are supported, for example: 2.1.45 or 4.0.3 or 3.11.23.
Hello dear country managers! Is there any of you still interested in the Linux Counter and reading this? I’m actually at implementing some managers stuff into the Linux Counter Project and I want to ask you, if you are still willing and have the time to again do your managers job? Actually there already is […]

Hi there! In the past I’ve asked several times for help with this project. Unfortunatly the reaction from the community, from you, was equal to zero. There are so many users online on the Counter each day. I really can’t beleive that there is nobody who is willing to help a little bit. There are some […]

Since I’ve completly rewritten the whole project, including the API – which now is a nice RESTful API – the old Android APP for the Linux Counter is not working any more and got removed from the Play Store some weeks ago. I’m of course able to develop such an Android APP, as I’ve also […]
In the last two days, I’ve mirrored the linux kernel archives and parsed all the kernel versions for the amount of lines of code and some other funny stuff! There are many pages talking about 15 million lines of code in the actual kernel version. They are all counting the lines including the comments in the code. […]
Since my last blog post, I’ve fixed many different things and enhanced the SEO again a bit. Following a small and popably incomplete list of what I have done: reCaptcha problem on the Password Reset form that has caused a 500 Internal Server Error. User online status display in the footer, that always only showed […]
Okay, after removing my changes from the last two days and readding them one after another, including restarting of memcache after each change, it now works. So I assume, I’ve simply forgotten to restart memcache maybe…. 🙁
Hello All! Several peoples already has reported the same problem: 500 Internal Server Error, when trying to reset their password. The strange thing: Locally everything works like a charm also in production mode and with exactly the same configuration (and versions of PHP, etc…) Everybody who has a little bit of knowledge of Symfony2 may be […]
I want to announce the implementation of Googles reCaptcha in the Linux Counter Project for the registration and the contact page. I’ve also implemented Memcached to speed things up. Sessions and database queries now get stored in memcache. Hope you enjoy it. 🙂 Alex
Hey there! I just wanted to announce, that the Linux Counter Project also is represented in IRC on the freenode network in channel #linuxcounter (since some years already!). So if you want to contact me or just want to talk about nonsense things, then come and visit me! 🙂 Best regards Alex
Yes! Finally it is done! I’ve just finished the last things on the development of the NEW Linux Counter! Everything seems to work like a charm, no bugs reported, no problems, nothing. So now I start with implementing NEW stuff. For example the detail pages for the cities and countries. So when clicking on a […]
Hello all! The new lico-update.sh script is finished and works like a charm and now it is time to think about the best solutions to make it public and easiest to use for everyone. This is why I now ask you all if there is anybody who is willing to put this script into a […]
