I've ported the code to an application now, and it now follows links so depending where I set root it will literally return gigabytes of data. The threads are a little out of control at the moment so I need to regulate them in a ThreadGroup. Not quite sure whether this could have business value, I guess it's just a matter of how I use the information gathered and whether I point it to certain domains and markets. Google tends to not specialise in areas but sweep up everything so there could be a market in domain-specific data-mining.

Maybe it should but it doesn't - I notice that the results page specifies port 9090 - probably all ports other than standard ones are blocked.
I think you misunderstand my comment on graphics. The site I work at uses an additional proxy called WebWasher (also DynaBlocker or something very like that) which prevents access to a humanly selected set of urls.
So - if you actually downloaded the image and then re-served it from your site it would bypass the censor It used to be possible to check old copies of "educational" sites using www.archive.org but they got wise to that and blocked it too. If you produced a service no doubt that would be blocked too eventually so it was more of a joke than a request.

It should work through all browsers & proxys??
How would you go about content blocking? I mean you can scan images but how would you actually get the program to tell if they are unsuitable or not?

Sadly it doesn't work through the proxy here.
I guess you just serve the img tag and don't pull the image and re-serve or it could be very useful for checking some of the educational sites the rabbit recommends which are blocked by webwasher.
Now there's a freebie business idea for you

"My ex-employer was paying £1mln a year for hosting."
One million pounds a year? That's just being silly.

I dont do java, pfft
Apache+PHP+mod_perl+MySQL will do me fine.
The software I will sell initially will be client side based written in .NET.
I am not worried too much about hosting, these days rates are very cheap - unless you are a big company and you get ripped off. My ex-employer was paying £1mln a year for hosting - that included rip-off rent of a few SUN boxes.

I meant what software - for instance if you need server side java you can rule out most cheap hosting that I'm aware of - mind you I don't do java so I haven't looked for it.
For £10 a month you have plenty to chose from.

Guest repliedRe: re
initially i dont need much really - I do own .co.uk domain for my future business, any host would do - I plan to start writing articles and capture opt in email addresses in anticipation of launch - by the time I launch search engines will know me better than if I were to launch immediately.
I have about 5 sites in the USA but I want UK hosting for my UK site cuz no latency (feels faster) - looking at somethins <£10 a month. I have big fk off 2U server for when the time is right - I think I will get dedicated hosting in Q3'04 and consolidate all my sites in one place - it will work out cheaper and more powerful.
My time will be free
