I just bought a new domain today raising the owned domain count to 22.
I just wonder when I'll have the time to set them all up

There were some problems with my internet connection yesterday, so my ISP mae some changes (modem+cable) and such I got a new IP. And of course it took some time until the new IP wondered around the planet through the DNS servers.

sorry for the inconvenience.

Datorita faptului ca UPC-ul de o vreme se trezeste sa imi limiteze banda la aproximativ 10 KB, am hotarat sa tot opresc serverul dc pret de cateva ore (sa imi fac treaba) sau chiar zile, daca cumva uit sa il mai pornesc

aruncati cu rosii in UPC :evil:

due to some problems with my ISP, I will be stopping the server for hours, even days, depending on how much time my bandwith is stretched (to about 10KB)

sorry for the inconvenience.

There was this bid the other day in which the bidder was asking for small project that will create a tray icon which will have an icon based on the results from a webpage. anyway, it was easy. So at the time I viewed the bid, there were already arund 14 bids made. So I started and made the project, thought to win this one by low bid and ready-made application.
The bidder was asking for maximum $100, so I bidded $13 and attached my project (which worked quite well and it took me around 1 hour to make). At that time my bid was the 25th or 26th, somewere around that number. By the end of bidding, there were 55 bids and the bidder choosed a $50 bid :lol:
guess that bidding too low doesn't always do the trick. :?

forgot to cancel this. for quite some time there is no more need for editors. I decided to maintain the directory myself, alone.

and another modification on registration page. should stop some of the spam registrations for a while: added another required field

Today I've deleted yet another round of users. I've send out an email asking them to confirm their accounts, and nobody (!!) did.
So, exept 2 users that posted something (non-spam), another 2 which I personally know, and of course myself, I've deleted them all.

no point in having 80 users registered and none of them having any activity.

- users that place an unallowed site in their "web site" profile field and have no activity will be considered users made for "silent/passive" adertising and will be deleted without notice.
- uncofirmed users will be deleted after 72 hours

Today I have deleted most of the users from this forum. Why? Well, most of them were users used for spamming the forum (at the time of when this happened, I just disabled them) and some of them might not have been confirmed.

life goes on

I modified the forum yet again: when admin logged in, on memberlist page, the user link (profile) will now go to edit the profile instead of displaying it.

Due to a lot of spam (both posting and profile info), I decided to take some actions:

Profile information rules:
- only personal sites are allowed in the "web site" field. any other type of sites (bussiness, porn, otehr illegal sites, etc, will be removed without notice)

Posting rules:
- no spam of any kind
- don't post site urls unless really needed

(will be updated)

I am working on a rather big project, and of course there are a lot of custom components and packages in it, one of which packages is called "paginated" (It contains a component which enables pagination on listviews). Now, I wrote this package and component a few months ago (2 maybe?) and everything was working just fine. Today, however, I was working on something else, when I needed to close some units from the editor and then I got this nice AV error:

This one is from the "nice" messages bucket

good old times (delphi 3)
