Tong Family (richtong.org sync)

PHP Bulletin Boards Now that the blog project is well on its way with the next steps being to get four other sites up and running and to try movabletype on tongfamily.com. The next step is to understand bulletin board software that’s out there and then album and photo archiving.…

InternetSeer Web Site Monitoring Service. This is the number one hit on Google for doing site monitoring. Right now it is hitting the b2 blog mail monitoring url every hour to get email into the blog at Geek Fishing

boardom :: View Forum – Site showcase. OK, now I’m in the middle of posting my brand new b2 hack on the bulletin board. A proud day. I have to figure out how to package it so that you can all download it though.

Then you can use the method Mail::parserecipients(“strong”) to get the list. Wow, amazing how i figured this out just when I went to bed.…

SecuriTeam.com ? (Weak MySQL Default Configuration). Ah one last thing is the security on mysql. By default it has a root login with no password. The e-php changes this, so you have to switch it back by editing the config.inc.php file. See the link above.
