Referer System

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 12:35 PM

Yesterday was one of those days. I spent most of the day answering phones (I think I was in phone central) so inbetween, rather than start some important project I'd keep getting interrupted on, I decided to write a JavaScript referer system like I has said I would do over on Michael's site. After I started I noticed someone posted a URL to an existing replacement script, but I was undeterred — instead of stopping I just added more functionality to my script. :-)

For the moment I'm setting it up so that you can use it just by inserting a little JavaScript (like the old system). I'm also contemplating releasing the backendcode under the GPL for anyone who might want to install the entire system on their own server (as opposed to using JavaScript), but I'll worry about that later on.

I'll post more information about it soon for anyone interested.

RE: Referer System

realises Oh, that kind of script. You really should change the link colour on your journal to be a bit more visible - I completely missed it when I first saw the entry.

RE: Referer System

So that’s why my emails go unanswered… Just kidding, Tim. I sent one a couple of days ago, as much to test our new mail server (and my account on it) as anything else.

BTW, Tim, what are we doing to celebrate Software Freedom Day, 28 August 2004 at Ofb.biz?

RE: Referer System

Hmm… one other than the one about adjusting your e-mail account forwarder? I hope I’m not missing something.

I’m not sure to answer your second question — perhaps we should do some brainstorming. I guess at the rate I’m getting this server migration done perhaps that could be the OfB relaunch day (don’t worry, I’m aiming for a lot sooner than that). ;-)
