MSPT and stuff

Song of the post: Depeche Mode - Violator - Halo

I haven't posted here in a long time. So I will attempt to fill the world in on my wonderful, fun-filled life and what has been going on in it.

First and foremost, as many of you know, I have started a service called MSPT, which is a MySpace Profile Tracker. Read the page if you want general info.

Basically, it's written in PHP and uses MySQL. I might release it under the BSD license if someone asks for it. Who knows.

Currently, it has 106 users and growing (about 1 or 2 users per hour or so.) It really probably isn't the best of trackers, but I think they way it works is quite novel, and I wrote it so it must be good. People seem to like it. I plan on adding new features as they are asked for.

Secondly, I did indeed get my X5, and I love it. It has also gotten me many glances and "that's weird"s from people I know, as well as people I don't know. I think it's much cooler than an iPod, at any rate.

Thirdly, I recently helped Matt reinstall and get gorman (animenuke download server) up and running. I tried to secure this system as much as I could, though I have reason to believe that the most recent attacker got in through either Matt's rather poorly-written PHP code, the fact that he was using a horrendously outdated version of PHP, or a combination of both.

Lastly, I have lots of final projects. This is going to be fun. But there's only less than 20 days of hell left! Yay!

Dan out. Have fun.
