Too many a days I found myself perpetually
checking the same business news web pages for any news simply about the companies I was presently
endowed
in. Between clicking on these web pages and perpetually
clicking on different business web pages to receive stock quotes, I was drive myself crazy and wasting a lot of time that belonged to my employer. After all he makes not pay me to surf the web. But if I didn't support track of investment information, I could lose a lot of money. I thought there had to be a resolution different than taking Valium. Why should I watch web pages for stuff once
my computer should be able to do this for me? This is once
I discovered a code program called Easy Web Page Watcher by Patron saint DiRienzo.
As the author's house page explains, "Easy Web Page watcher watches Html web pages for your information by ceaselessly downloading and inspecting each web page you specify for the text you specify". A web page is simply a file containing Html text, therefore Easy Web Page Watcher is actually downloading and reading an Html file looking for your text.
I came to understand that this program could only discover changes that are part of the Html text, but that was all I needed. Most of the web pages I wanted to watch were pure Html pages (no Java, etc. involved).
After seeing a seal of approval from PC Magazine, I definite
to try this software. The 1st pleasant surprise was that the program was at once easy to use. A toolbar with large buttons provided all the user interface I needed. One button allowed me to enter web pages and another button allowed me to enter text such as my stock names and dollar amounts. I complete that this was probably a limited user interface, but the fact that it got the job done without wasting my energy on a learning curve was all I cared about.
The program worked as advertised. I was alerted with an loud alarm once
my stocks appeared in a press release at Yahoo's business web site. I before long discovered that the program could as well email these alerts to me. This was great because now I could run the program on my house PC mistreatment my full time broadband Internet. My leader
could not accuse me in any way of perpetually
being on the Cyberspace at work.
Another one of those large toolbar buttons allows you to change the watch mode to "Just Tell Me If The Web Pages I Specify Change". In this mode, Easy Web Page Watcher wish apprise you once
any changes or updates occur on the web pages you specify. It makes this by ceaselessly downloading and examination the Html file with the initial Html file recorded at the start of the watch session. If the Html file changes Easy Web Page Watcher notifies you. I before long had a use for this in operation mode. I could now watch my Web Site's Html log file for visitors. I subscribe to one of those services that provide you with an Html log file that updates with traveller
information every time being clicks on one of your web pages. Instead of perpetually
checking this Html log file with my Cyberspace browser, I let Easy Web Page Watcher watch it for updates. It is a lot of fun to cognize at once once
being visits your site.
