I found it extremely useful for making a family tree. But i would like to add something which is much like a geni, its Kincafe. I would like you to particpate in beta release of Kincafe and provide feedback at andy@kincafe.com Thanks amy Kincafe much like geni

We've gotten into the habit of parsing Apache logs on a daily basis to produce stats about URLs with slow requests, time periods when they were slow, etc. Very tricky to monitor sometimes.

To me, this is a akin to executing time intensive tasks on the Swing drawing thread. You app may be doing just what it's supposed to, but to the user it looks like it's locked up because the window doesn't get redrawn. You need some sort of progress indicator (and to not lock up the UI) so the user knows what's going on. You have to give the user feedback.

What do you think is the answer? Since you're probably using nonblocking asynchronous requests, it gets a wee bit complicated to know when the server isn't responding in due time. You could set up a timer and then have it check a variable repeatedly and after a configurable timeout alert the user... Any frameworks/pointers/best practices to point to? (A quick google didn't turn up much, just http://howardfamily.id.au/2006/08/16/ajax-error-handling/ and http://alistapart.com/articles/userproofingajax .) Hi Dion,

I set up a tree with my immediate family and it was easy and fun, which is a good combination. Throw in the wicked-simple viral system and it looks like the site developers have a potential hit. Are you involved in any way? Neat site, Dion. I set up a tree with my immediate family and it was easy and fun, which is a good combination.
