Well ISFree is really close to working at 0.1. I'll
probably release as of March 1st. Now that I have it at
minimal functionality to actualy be useable I can go back
and rip out and reword all the really crappy code I did
while learning C all over again. :)
The nice thing is I think I have the answer to securing the
DB connect information and securing ISFree from the system
users. This way you don't have to have a dedicated server
for your billing. You can just use nighttime spare cycles
to do the billing runs localy. MUCH faster this way.
Definitly faster than perl will ever be.
I'm still searching for some good ideas on how to handle
one time billings, like an hour of admin work, or the sale
of a software package, etc. Can it be done or is this goign
to end up being a kludge thats necessary to make ISFree a
complete package instead of just another castrated
recurring services only package?
An extra feature I implemented by necesity... custom
monthly billing. :) I should probably go back in and setup
custom setup fees as well as the recurring feee. *sigh*
well, heres to what will hopefully be a package for
the acountants and admins that they will both like and
doesn't suck from overcomprimising! CHEERS!
Well, i forgot my password again so I couldn't post in a
while.
ISFree Is
starting to take shape. I'm about 80% done with 0.1. It's a
revised list of features due to me needing to get it up
fast. Ill list them later. Lets just say at this point you
can add customers, add packages, create invoices, and email
the invoices.
oh yeah. my car got flooded with water in flash flooding. *sigh* damn rust holes.
Well it was a busy month for me. Lost the day job and
decided to go solo for a while. Hopefully TerraBox.com can support
me Real Soon Now(tm) 8-P.
got a few things done today...
ack. don't hit the escape key while filling this in. 8-( I
had it most of they fille dnad now i forget what I was
typing oh well.
time to go home and feed my Diablo II addiction. Thank
you Blizzard. ;)
Well, so much for a restfull weekend. I ended up
attempting
to code some on Saturday for my office. Got about 10 lines
of code out in 3 hours. bleah. So much for a productive
environment.
On a good side though Saturday night was spent
playing starcraft for about 6 hours until 5am. :) Needless
to say I got stomped since i haven't played in over a year.
Odd note, sleep deprevatioin, good music,
chineese
food, and wine atmy apatment in the middle of a friend
watching TV and my roommate playing starcraft (yet again)
in the other room loudly, DID contribute to me doing 500
lines of code in about 4 hours rather bug free in 2 hour
segements at 8pm, and 1am. Strange how that works isn't it?
oh yeah, managed to get debian woodys xf 4.0.1
to
play nice with nvidias detonator 3 drivers. glx
screensavers simply rock. Especialy the cube from
Hellraiser. WOOOO!
note: do NOT try to run startx as a user, just use xdm like
a good little user will you? *DUCK*
Well soo much for a fun night. The "software problem"
with the tulip card thats a clone of a clone turned out to
be a hardware issue after all. Fun part is that it would
reset eth0 and all the even numbered eth0:0 virtual
interfaces but not the odd ones (how odd).
Now for 48 hours of intensive coding for my day job. Genesta
oh yeah. cute quote for what support really means....
Fatz:#openprojects - support is then the developer comes to your house to check things out and brings along three blond babes for pleaser

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
