Domain payed for 2007/2008

Just payed the domain tinymailto.com for another year!
Also, the first aniversary of tinymailto.com is comming next 6/8/7 (06-aug-2007)

Captcha tunning

The captcha used in tinymailto.com is kcaptcha, I changed some parameters and upgraded the version to the latest, version 1.2.4
Now it uses only 4 letters/numbers and the background color is the same as the page

Nedstats/Motigo deprecated!

I delete the counter of motigo(formelly nedstat) because now they show ads without your permission!!!

"With the use of motigo products and services on the site it is accepted that WMS has the right to place advertisements on the site in any format or through any channel, including but not limited to e-mail, layer ads, pops, banners and other usual formats without any forewarning and it is furthermore accepted that WMS takes no responsibility for the advertising content and that WMS shall not be liable for any losses incurred regarding this advertising."

Motigo sucks :(

Web uptime monitoring

Just added a web server uptime monitoring in tinymailto.com

The service is provided for free by http://host-tracker.com/
Is really an usefull site, so I recommend it. It has monitoring rate up to 1 minute, and reports from dially to anual basis.

A few days ago it seems that all Internet in my country went down, I have another server on another ISP and suffered the same downtime in the same timeframe.


Hope it helps

Nov-2006 Stats

Hi all,
the tinymailto stats posts are a little out of date. Here are some numbers:

• tinymailto URLs created: 226
• pageviews: 7,279 (google analitics)
• average visits per day: 15 visits

The page views stats are normalized in previous months, and the visits per day are low but constant.

October 2006 news

Hi all, this post is part of the monthly tinymailto newsletter.
tinymailto keep going fine, we have 209 URL created so far!

The site is much faster without google adsense, also looks a little better. No news yet about the ajax idea, I hope to get some time soon.

Greetings from a friday-13th night ... :)

Adsense no more + ajax popup

I'm planning deprecating the Adsense for tinymailto.com, so it will load a little bit faster.
The Firefox button should stay.

More ideas - ajax popup
I'm planning learning about AJAX in the near future, I'm choosing a book right now. My idea is to put tinymailto.com in your page.
A click on you tinymailto.com URL will popup a litle window pointing to tinymail.com, you will only have to enter the captcha and there you go, your email is clickable.
If the user closes the popup, he must do all over again.
The popup will not be a window, but a html element, something like: amazon wish list popup, google calendar dialog popup for: adding a calendar, "do you want to delete your calendar", etc
That's all the brainstorming for now ...

Traffic is stabilizing after the masive visitors from stumbleupon.com, for example, until today we have 192 URLs created.

We have now like 60-70 visits por week.

Developer diaries #1

This post is just for giving a little information about the site programming decisions.

BD: for the database I used Mysql 4 with InnoDB. No triggers were necessary.
Security: I use the PHP safe_mode and open_basedir options. Also, I parse all input, especially the page names.

... more to come

I have to say that 67% of the traffic comes from stumbleupon.com, thats why I added the stumbleupon button in the site. I didn't knew stumbleupon.com until I looked at the stats and I never posted anything in stumbleupon.com, so a big thanks goes for the stumbleupon.com site and users ;)

little spellcheks update

Just updated the about, help and start page with some spellcheck corrections.
Also added a new item in the FAQ, which is the same as the line added in the start page. In the about page added links to all online services used in the site.

I'm planning to post another report this sunday, that is, in the 2nd week since tinymailto launch date.

Thanks to Ale and Migs for the english corrections. Thanks to these feedbacks, I noted that nvu misses some words while doing the spellcheck. I had to manually select all the text and then click on the spellcheck button.

P.D.: I'm just loving the new Blogger beta!

Blog updated with labels

I just upgraded to blogger beta, and edited all posts to have Labels now.
Also, the blog have an updated layout, I used the updated layout of blogger beta and changed a little bit the colors.

tinymailto fever

The site is starting to have more and more traffic, I keep watching the webserver access log like crazy. This is nice, but I can't concentrate much in my actual job :)

So, I will try not to look at the web server access log or the google analitics web stats for a few days. That means, I need to "Ctrl+C" that "tail -f access_log" process.

See you again in a couple of days ...

stumbleupon.com

I noted that too much hits come from www.stumbleupon.com, so I added a StumbleUpon banner on the tinymailto.com web site. I got the buttom from the button page at stumbleupon.
I'm downloading the stumbleupon firefox extension as I write ;)

Another blackout

Once again, today we had a electricity blackout, from 1140 to 1755 EST (GMT-4) :(
Sorry for the website downtime. This kind of extended blackout are not normal, it seems that the electricity company had a problem with the new installation of new wires last thursday.
