I'm having a binge on visiting all the websites I list. Sounds easy but there are about 250 of them so for every minute per site, that's four hours. I'm finding a few sites that are down that I thought were up - just because their site is not returning 404. I'll add a new field to my database of each site that contains key text, and look for this each time I ping the site. If it's missing I'll visit the site to see what's going on.
I need to repeat this entire process more thoroughly on each site, to fill in some new database fields I'm adding. Right now I don't record the license each program is released under, and I also want to classify such things as how easy it is to download and install the program. Sometimes you can download right from the site, sometimes you have to go through a registration process. Likewise the installation processes run the range from professional MSI or DMG installers, to your drag-and-drop or unzip-in-place.
