(not going to finish) Production web serving with Cygwin - PHP, Ruby on Rails & ColdFusion

Submitted by Damien on Tue, 10/16/2007 - 5:28pm

SPF the easy way

Submitted by Damien on Tue, 07/17/2007 - 3:45pm

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is an open standard that aims to help prevent spam, and stop legitimate email from being tagged as such.

Catfish fun with script.aculo.us

Submitted by Damien on Thu, 12/21/2006 - 11:32pm

Script.aculo.us is a wonderful library of Javascript functions for doing lots of buzzword-friendly snazzy effects. A recent schmancy JS trick is the catfish - a small, unintrusive advertisement that pops up at the bottom of the web page and can be closed without affecting the web page. Looking around I didn't see any existing code to do catfish effects with Script.aculo.us so I decided I'd have to fill the gap.
