Bring on the spam! Let it rain down on the newly spam protected Twisted Pair WD dot com... I have been noticing an increasing number of fake accounts being created on this site... So I decided to check out mollom.com's services.

I am not new to spam protection technologies and have been very pleased with other captcha and math based solutions through Drupal modules. I just thought I would check out Dries's approach, I'm a big fan of Acquia and such... so we will see how it goes.

Cheers,

So things have been rather busy since deciding to migrate all of our clients to a new hosting platform. I am happy to announce that the migration is finally complete. That is, it is finished for the paying customers. As for the IS students at UNLV, I will be contacting you about the process that you will need to follow to migrate your free hosting account to the new host as well. I feel kinda bad about not being able to move all of you myself, but then again, it is a free service and this will give you great experience of how to move your website to a new server, databases and all. It will be fun, and of coarse i will be here for support if you need help.

Thanks for all of your patience during the migration and I hope you enjoy the upgraded server.

I have just been notified of a great local event in Vegas next week that I think i will try to attend. My professor recommended me this meeting.

I believe it is the Las Vegas Flex group and they will be covering a bit of drupal.

Being that I am currently in a Flex class to learn and brush up on my object oriented programming skills, I am very interested in learning how action script can interact with drupal and what can be done using these two technologies. My goal is to learn how to develop rich internet applications that can use drupal as their back end for supporting user and content administration.

I hope I can attend this meeting and learn a trick or two about flex and drupal. I will report my findings.

As our quest for world domination continues, we have teamed up with some professors from UNLV's Management in Information Systems department by allowing their students free access to hosting on Twisted Pair's platform.

My latest connection yielded a request for MSQL server space. I would love to donate this service as well, but the company we buy bandwidth and server space from, mosso.com, charges extra for hosting an MSQL server. Is this a normal practice among reseller hosting services?

Here is a screenshot of the client setup process with mosso:

I have a tough time believing that this service constitutes an extra 5 to 10 bucs a month, when we are paying much more than that for their service.

We are thinking about changing to another VPS host that offers reselling accounts. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you.
