Now how cool is this?…

Last night I was IM-ing with Faisal Jawdat. He’d read my post the other day, quoting Usman Farman’s account of 9/11/2001*, and was wondering if it was me who got him started with a weblog. Huh? I didn’t know Usman had a weblog. Turns out he does, and a pretty good one at that.

What’s more, his AIM id was right there on his homepage, so I dropped him a line. He remembered who I was, and we had a good little chat. Turns out he’s working from home (like me) doing web stuff (also like me), and he’s getting ready to launch a bunch of websites and a marketing campaign. I guess we’re both busy bees.

So — Hi Usman! How cool is that?

Here’s today’s Frontier 9.0 screenshot — the Readouts page. Frontier can optionally keep logs of HTTP requests, RPC requests, searches and search engine indexing, and root updates. On the Readouts page, you’ll see the five most recent log entries for each enabled log.

Also listed on the Readouts page are all open databases, their size on disk, the number of top-level tables in each database, and when they were last modified.

Today we have two screenshots: Bonus — two for the price of one!

Both are of the site-level admin page. The first, linked at the right, shows the Content and Syndication sections. In the Content section, there’s a summary of the number of messages, stories, pictures, news items and gems in the site, along with links to the five most recent discussion threads.

The second screenshot sports a slew of new user interface features. Frontier’s search engine is now easy to configure on a site-by-site basis. Server managers can enable or disable indexing for a given Manila site. At any time, you can choose to index, re-index or de-index a given site, and enable or disable search engine indexing. As you’ll see later, Frontier can also index Radio sites hosted through your own Radio Community Server (included with Frontier 9.0).
