Check out the web's most powerful whois/dns lookup (and reverse lookup)
tool:
http://www.stellimare.com/whois/
It is the most powerful freely available tool on the Internet at this time,
and automates many command line searches done when conducting
research.
The layout on that page is a bit different than the rest of the site. It is the template we will probably move over to later (minus the ads, except on high traffic informational pages). Now off to redesigning the rest of the site.
In case you're wondering about the captcha, each picture is unique, unlike many other systems which use a stored database of images. The captcha is there to prevent abuse by automated programs which use whois information for spamming network and site owners— some network owners get thousands of spam emails per hour (thank goodness for Thunderbird email filters!).
4/21/09 Windows 7 Beta Download has ended
The download period for Windows 7, the successor to Vista, had ended.
This typically means the OS will be ready for release sometime next year.
2/24/2009 (corrections 4/11/09) Windows 7 Available for free Beta download -- Microsoft Vista has gone the way of Windows Me of years past. Due to extreme resistance (for good cause) to adopt the system by businesses (6% use vista) and government institutions, Microsoft has begun development on Windows 7. A beta public beta is available for download. For more information visit http://badvista.fsf.org/. The public beta of Windows 7 can be found at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/beta-download.aspx
This site will be redesigned in the coming months, but, like all good hackers, we spend more time coding than working on our websites ;). We're also taking our business into a new direction, and so our site will need to reflect this new focus.
As such, please ignore any prices you see on this site. They are no longer valid. contact us for pricing and custom system requests.
This redesign will be completed after development of our non-SQL based CMS system is developed. We're currently using a bit of thrown together one using Bourne shell scripts and a wacky file structure that relies heavily on the file system. But we can do better... and this system is getting a bit annoying as the site grows.
We also like the idea of having static pages, a simple HTML/CSS template system, and being able to backup the entire site using scp/rsync, so Wordpress and others are out of the question (Wordpress also lacks true HTML input, which is extremely annoying adding line breaks without them being explicitly specified by the page writer). We plan to make the software available here as well as on sourceforge when completed.
It'll be designed for php rather than the originally planned Perl, since some Linux hosting companies (i.e. GoDaddy's) insist on not allowing for Perl scripts without paying extra. So, to make our CMS work for the vast majority of our clients, it'll be developed for PHP. PHP scripts also will work on WAMP (windows) servers. So PHP it is...
