Been working on other project almost obsessively lately. Mostly working on Spam Free Email and rebuilding my servers, again ….
I’ve been using erlang to create the SMTP server for Spam Free Email and I have plans on using it for many other processes as well. Specifically I’m going to incorporate the back end for the […]

I just implemented a dedicated MySQL database server for my IP Address logging and the IP database. I still need to finish changing some script to reflect the new server, but it is in place for the IPD. I will also need to change how the Members data files are accesses, so hopefully I’ll have […]

I just finished changing the email system to one that is based on IMAP on the back end. I did this by writing a Cold Fusion CFC based on JavaMail.
I’ve spent the better part of the past two weeks writing this wrapper for JavaMail that gives me access to an IMAP server so that I […]

I just finalized the detail of what each subscription level will entail. You can find out more about each subscription level by clicking on the ’subscribe’ link on the left bar. There is also a subscription comparison chart that many people will find useful.
I will be spending more time working on the ‘coming soon’ options […]

So I’ve been running into hardware issues on the servers, mostly I need more of it. Luckily I have lots of good older hardware to work with.
I’m moving the data processing for the IP database on to a dedicated servers and I’m separating the database server from the web server.
Im also building out a MailToaster […]

I haven’t posted in a bit for a few reasons.
First off I’ve had real work to do. Since I can’t make a living on this site (yet) real work does tend to take a priority
Next a few projects seem to have jumped ahead of this one, in order to make this project even […]

I’m in process of changing from the Network solutions DNS servers to the DNS servers at Zoneedit. The main reason I’m doing this is to gain access to the TXT DNS record so that I can put up my own SPF entry. Hopefully this will not impact the site while I am transferring everything. I’ve […]

Anyone who knows me personally will groan at this one … It’s time to play with the Tiger Line files again. Every year or two the US census bureau http://www.census.gov releases data files that have the information needed to do relatively accurate geocoding or translating addresses into longitude and latitude coordinate. The data files are […]

Actaully it’s over 1.1 million IPs in the IP database. I think it turned over 1 million yesterday sometime, but I noticed it this morning. While there are 4+ billion IPs for use on the Internet using IPv4, not all of them are in use for surfing, I mentioned this a few days ago, but […]
