Image Filtering & Assessment Costing Tool

An online Image Filtering & Assessment Costing Tool has been created to estimate the volume, cost and staff resources required in the assessment and processing of business emails (with suspicious image attachments) that have been stopped when using a corporate email ‘image-analysis / porn’ filtering system.

The on-line tool can be accessed from this page: Image Filtering & Assessment Costing Tool

The purposes of this tool is to allow business management to calculate the estimated volume of suspicious email messages that will be:

stopped by your ‘image-analysis / porn’ filter system as it may contain suspect pornographic images
redirected to an human ‘assessor’ to manually review the contents of these suspicious email messages
assessed to be a true positive (it does have pornographic content) or a false positive (it does not contain any inappropriate content)

…and to estimate the staff time needed:

for the nominated ‘Email Assessor’ to assess, review and process emails with suspicious content
for Human Resources to investigate and document the evidence required to process a formal disciplinary case - where an email incident contain pornographic content has been raised
for an IT System Administrator to investigate, to search for computer evidence, and to take all the relevant backups, and to produce the relevant documentation to support these formal disciplinary proceedings

The tool will report the estimated annual costs to process suspicious email message image attachments internally (in-house) and then use these annual cost to calculate the potential annual savings your organisation can make by outsourcing the processing and management of this suspicious email content to Dicontas.

Google to Yahoo-MSN-Live Search Sitemaps Generator - Updated Version

Dicontas Blog Admin — Thu, 02 Nov 2006 14:06:42 +0000

If you have a web site and a blog site, chances are that you have two separate Google sitemaps that list the URLs within each site. I use WordPress for my blog and PHP for my web site. There are many tools/plugins to create these Google sitemaps separately, and this is where the issues lies, and the need for this script.

This means that I have to maintain two Google sitemaps and there is no easy way (i.e. a tool) to generate a proper sitemap for all the pages within my sites. I use the Google Sitemaps plugin for WordPress, but use another sitemap generator for my website.

What the Script does? If you do have two Google sitemaps, then I have enhanced a PHP script to read these two Google sitemaps, extract the URLs and to append/parse them into a file (called urllist.txt) that is used by Yahoo, MSN and Live sitemaps. This helps Yahoo, MSN and Windows Live Search search engine bots to find and index your site pages and aids Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) as they can find all your page URLs more easily.

To read more, and to download the latest version, go to this page:

Google to Yahoo-MSN-Live Sitemaps Creator Tool

Also included in this version is a text file explaining the use of Yahoo’s ApplicationID and Site Explorer tools to enable you to create an easy process of informing Yahoo every time you update your urllist.txt file. This process involves 3 steps to create a browser short-cut that sends an update notification request informing Yahoo of your new web pages.
