I usually only read this newsgroup every couple of weeks .

This afternoon i was reading a thread on how count how many users are
online or surfing a website .

Not being something i've done before i had a go at adding it to a
website called www.outerlimitsfan.co.uk that i finished and brought
online yesterday .

It turned out to be quite easy to write & i've set the user ip address
to timeout at 15 minutes .


So , For want of a better description , If you see a particular specific
thing mentioned on this newsgroup you could try writing your own version
of it on one of your own websites as a practical example .
