I’ve been moving my servers around and I am no longer hosting the servers at my home. I eventually plan to host these servers on my own hardware sometime off in the future, but […]

I just went through and cleaned up the comments across this site. Seems some people felt it necessary to spam the blog comments, if I notice this anymore I’ll have to rework the comment code to limit or require registration, which I do not what to do…
And for the record, the comment sections have code […]

Ive been thinking about writing some more articles and I was wondering if people had ideas on articles they would like to see.

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 […]

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 […]
