Have "local hits" been filtered out? What I mean is have hits to your pages from your local domain been removed? If your site is heavy into Windows NT this might explain the increase. Has anyone tried to correlate OS and browsers with IP addresses and domains? -- Jeff Nauss *********************************************************************** * UU UU Jeffrey L.

Chemical Web Site statistics
by Rzepa, Henry 10 Dec '96

10 Dec '96

As an adjunct to Mark Winter's statistics, our own have recently been revised to give monthly views http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/server/browser.html One interesting observation is the gradual increase of Windows NT in the OS profile, the decrease of X11 Unix systems and the domination of Win 95 since around August this year. Note also the "hump" in June for PowerPC users. We suspect this is the ECHT96 conference, but need to confirm this. One interesting aspect we will report upon shortly is whether certain "pages" on our site have significantly different profiles from the ones above. Dr Henry Rzepa, Dept.

Failed Email to ri.ac.uk
by rob＠ri.ac.uk 09 Dec '96

09 Dec '96

During the weekend of 6-8 December an error occurred on our mail server which caused certain e-mail messages to be non-delivered. Our logs show that an e-mail message from you to an address in .ri.ac.uk was among those which failed to be delivered. Unfortunately I do not know what, or if any, error message was returned to you; however the fault has now been rectified, and it is likely that a further attempt to send the failed message would now be successful. -- Robert G.

Many IP addresses indicate the Country of origin in the right hand field by a two letter code. Is there a convenient listing of these codes ?

London On-line Exhibition
by Rzepa, Henry 06 Dec '96

06 Dec '96

I attended a small proportion of this conference yesterday. Points I noted were a) The release of a Web version of STN http://stneasy.fiz-karsruhe.de (+ USA and Japan sites) b) The announcement of Beilstein Netfire, which provides full abstracts. No URL yet given. Interestingly, Netfire uses the <font face=symbol>a</font> markup for Greek letters. c) For UK users, the release of BIDS via the Web; http://www.bids.ac.uk/ISI which is a significant improvement on the Telnet interface hitherto used. In short, pretty much everyone is rapidly providing an Web interface, although I also note greatly excessive use of multiple gif images to create a visual effect, rather than what I would regard as more effective use of text. STNEasy for example takes an age to download from Karlsruhe (congestion in the Munich area!) largely because of these wretched gif images. Its a search interface for heavens sake, so why not download the FORM html, and scrap all the pretty but largely useless images. The "lets sculpt a pretty bevelled button" in 2k bytes, rather than take 2 bytes to write out "go" syndrome is going strong! I might add these pages are unfathomable with suppression of gif images. Oh, and while I am on about my pet hates on Web pages, how about the non-wrapping page that requires full screen display on a 17" monitor to display the page in full because its designer happened to have a 21" monitor at their disposal.

Source for Chemistry Related Images
by Jeffrey.Nauss＠UC.Edu 06 Dec '96

Is there an on-line source for chemistry-related images (gif or jpg)? We are looking for images of common laboratory equipment such as beakers and such as well as other images related to chemistry. Examples of molecular graphics are not a problem, there are plenty to be found. Thank you... -- Jeff Nauss *********************************************************************** * UU UU Jeffrey L.

Dear Dr. Rzepa, thanks for your report on Online and your mention of NetFire. The application is accessible directly from the Beilstein web server: www.beilstein.com/ . Click on the product name shown in the front page announcement, and a hyperlink takes you directly to the NetFire server. Best regards, Jorge Manrique Beilstein Information Systems, Inc. jmanrique(a)beilstein.com ---------- b) The announcement of Beilstein Netfire, which provides full abstracts. No URL yet given.

browser profiles over the last 11 months
by Mark Winter 01 Dec '96

01 Dec '96

For your interest I enclose percentage browser stats for the last 11 months. There's all sorts of reasons why these numbers aren't scientific but the apparent trends are interesting anyway. You may find these numbers helpful when deciding what features to implement on your pages. Browsers vers Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov MSIE all 3.9 3.6 5.8 6.4 5.2 5.7 7.3 7.5 9.8 10.2 12.1 Mosaic al 3.1 3.1 2.9 3.0 2.4 2.0 1.8 1.6 1.1 0.8 0.6 NetScape 0.9 1.6 0.8 0.9 0.5 0.6 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.2 0.1 NetScape 1 7.0 4.2 3.0 2.5 2.8 2.0 1.1 0.9 1.0 0.8 0.6 NetScape 1.1 30.3 25.8 21.7 18.3 14.9 12.6 9.0 7.8 4.8 4.9 3.6 NetScape 1.2 22.7 19.1 16.9 11.8 13.4 9.8 6.7 6.8 6.0 5.0 3.9 NetScape 2 26.8 37.2 44.0 51.3 50.4 53.3 53.4 52.7 44.8 40.4 38.0 NetScape 3 0 0 0.1 2.2 6.0 11.1 17.8 20.2 29.7 35.0 38.8 All other browsers are very small. About 3500 variants of browsers were logged over the 11 months! Note the falling % for Mosaic. NetScape Version 3 use is increasing rapidly and is now more used than version 2. Version 2 is dropping as version 3 picks up while the proportion of version 1 users is also dropping slowly. MS InterNet Explorer (all versions) is rising and is now around 12%. This is at the expense of NetScape and the minor browsers. About 88% of all hits come from [NetScape v2 or better + MSIE]. About 97.1% of all hits are NetScape + MSIE so it appears barely worth bothering to use other than these for site testing. Platform Macintosh 23.2 23.5 24.9 25.5 19.6 22.3 26.7 19.8 18.3 20.6 21.4 PC 64.3 62.3 61.9 59.9 63.2 62.6 59.4 66.7 71.8 71.0 71.1 Unix 11.9 12.9 12.1 12.4 15.6 13.6 12.6 12.1 9.0 7.4 6.5 At first sight it looks as though UNIX users are disappearing, but it's more likely that they aren't, rather that PC/Mac users are increasing more rapidly. PS - Style sheets work well in MSIE on the Mac. Assume they will be more popular very soon.
