Subject: [stella] TheDig relaunch From: Glenn Saunders <mos6507@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 1 Aug 2005 04:53:27 -0400 |
I'm officially relaunching my version of TheDig. http://thedig.dyndns.org I know that the Biglist archive works, but at the very least I do prefer the page navigation scheme on TheDig where you can page back through the months instead of moving up and down levels. I will be adding more filter and ordering features soon. It's running on BlueDragon with a MySQL backend. I think it runs a lot faster now, partly beause it has my whole box instead of sharing a virtual host. I'm doing keyword search through MySQL instead of ColdFusion verity so that seems to work a lot better. I also wired up an RSS feed: http://thedig.dyndns.org/rss_feed.cfm I'm running the biglist screenscraper every hour now so the RSS feed will update multiple times during the day if people post. I'm thinking that the most useful application of the RSS feed would be as a read-only alternative to subscribing. I'm sending the entire message body in the RSS feed so it prety much works like a mailing list to anyone who subscribes to the feed. It's probably not a good idea to send the entire body with no restrictions but it's an experiment. As I said in the other message, attachments are getting sent to subscribers but not getting put into the archive. It looks like this has been happening since January. What I'm going to try doing is manually archive these where they exist on TheDig but not on Biglist's archive, by plucking these out of my mail client. I don't know how much work that's going to be. Hopefully that will be useful for some people. I was originally going to put in a feature where people could send emails to list members. It wasn't going to be a mailto, but a webform. Is this something that people are comfortable with? I have all the real email addresses unencrypted and stored in my database but I don't display them on the web. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
