Entries in 'gridindex'

2000+ grid computing links

Some strange person dumped a bunch of grid computing related links online.

Hiatus

I will be too busy in the coming month to post much here. I will keep adding sites to the gridindex.org search engines and updating the event list. In all likelihood will keep making brief news item entries. Enjoy your summer (or winter)!

Grid Index is now working for IE6

Happily, that IE problem for The Grid Index didn’t take long to figure out once I got time to do it.

Details:

This may help other people using Google CSE that want to automatically insert the ‘more:’ subsection queries for the user. The problem was that Firefox is sending a GET parameter (’sa’) that IE doesn’t send when a query is entered and you hit return. IE sends it when you click on the Search button, though. As part of my strategy to keep anything illegitimate from getting past Apache httpd into the application server, I was checking for necessary parameters and rejecting anything without them. So the conclusion is that ’sa’ is not a necessary GET parameter.

Grid Index not working for IE6

I’ve gotten word that queries to the Grid Index aren’t working for Internet Explorer 6. I will look into it as soon as I can. In the meantime, you can use Google’s default interface to the custom search engine.

Grid Index update

I updated The Grid Index (about) a lot this weekend, it’s up to over 2000 annotations!

I updated the Globus mini portal with GT 4.1.2, the most recent development release.

The Grid Index

The Grid Index (http://www.gridindex.org) is available to use. This is a search engine backed by Google, annotated to only deliver results relevant to grid computing.

There are currently over 1000 (2000) annotations, and more on the way. If you don’t see something relevant being searched, please try the suggestion form.

If you work with Globus technology, there is also a focused search.

Please take a look. If you have any comments other than annotation suggestions, please drop me a line via comment or email (gridvm@gmail.com), thanks!
