Other features will come in the future. In addition, the users that registered before 2008-09-01 and never logged in have been removed, those are in most cases linked to incorrect e-mail addresses and never received their password.<br /><br />An interesting detail regarding email addresses... about 34% of users never logged in (out of which 70% generated an email bounce: unknown email address, inexistent domain or mailbox full).<br /><br />Have fun!drakewlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18360005981679574092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320833207309298706.post-52395669073984253722007-10-16T18:25:00.000+00:002007-10-16T19:02:18.093+00:00Database is downThe database server has been victim of a violent outage in the datacenter where monkeys like to switch off the power on the main switch.<br /><br />It's currently being checked and restored, which will take about 12 hours.<br /><br />To avoid problems with the running database, I stopped the Web service on the web server.<br /><br />SaveSpell.com will be back on Wednesday, October 17.<br /><br />Sorry for any inconvenience.drakewlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18360005981679574092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320833207309298706.post-19617098152213796362007-04-18T12:16:00.000+00:002007-04-18T12:18:21.181+00:00My mistakeHello,<br /><br />I made a maintenance where I had to stop new domains' import.

Also, from now, in case of load or network errors while daemon in charge of checking the domain names is running, it will just sleep for 5 minutes and retry its task.<br /><br />In addition, some basic documentation has been written.<br /><br />Feel free to propose your links!drakewlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18360005981679574092noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320833207309298706.post-10271955956232428772006-10-08T03:53:00.000+00:002006-10-08T04:09:19.894+00:00Search and new layoutHey there,<br /><br />At least, the search functionality is here<br />In addition, a new XHTML/CSS/<a href="http://script.aculo.us/">AJAX </a>design is now live.<br /><br />Do not expect new updates next week as my work schedule is going to be busy.<br /><br />Have fun!<br /><br />Tristandrakewlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18360005981679574092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320833207309298706.post-50456058120286476982006-10-05T15:37:00.000+00:002006-10-05T15:40:19.241+00:00New summary pageThe <a href="http://www.savespell.com/summary">new summary page</a> is now live.<br /><br />It contains statistics informations about the number of available, expiring and taken domains according to each extension and word lists.<br /><br />This page is updated daily.drakewlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18360005981679574092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320833207309298706.post-90045942363684252912006-10-02T22:10:00.000+00:002006-10-02T22:58:43.377+00:00Beta phase 2From now on, Beta phase 2 is live:<br /><br />Here's a summary of the changes:<br />- New domain names and status changes are almost continiously, so feel free to visit the same as often as you like.<br />- The <a href="http://www.savespell.com/browse/recent"><span style="font-style: italic;">Recent changes</span></a> page now displays latest changes.<br />- Alexa rank is being checked on newly added domain names, effective date: October 3rd.<br />- Goggle PageRank can be checked on demand.<br />- New option that tags a domain name for recheck in the information page. When clicked, the domain name will be added on the check queue and status updated within the next minutes/hours, depending on the queue size. This tag is set to allow report of incorrect entries. Unfortunately, it doesn't apply to expiring domains before the expiration date (plus 48 hours due to the world's timezones). Also, a s a security measure, a maximum of 10 checks is allowed every 5 minutes.<br />- Google PageRank and tagging a domain for recheck both need cookies enbaled. The cookie contains some information generated in the Information page.<br />- Page title and meta tags are generated according to the page content.<br />- All dates and times on the content pages are GMT based.<br />- Content pages are cached, so you don't have to worry about "heavy" browse.<br />- Domain names that seem to be expired and not checked on whois database are now in the category <span style="font-style: italic;">Most likely free</span>. The displayed icon of such domains is <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.savespell.com/images/status/5.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 80px; height: 15px;" src="http://www.savespell.com/images/status/5.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />But, some bugs need to be fixed:<br />- Nameservers are not removed from the domain's information if it becomes available.<br /><br />Any other bug report or feedback is welcome.<br /><br />Thanks for your interest ;-)drakewlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18360005981679574092noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320833207309298706.post-36690271724651023352006-09-28T23:44:00.000+00:002006-09-28T23:46:13.679+00:00WelcomeWelcome to <a href="http://www.savespell.com/">SaveSpell.com</a>'s blog where announces will be posted and feedback collected.<br /><br />Actually, it already started!drakewlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18360005981679574092noreply@blogger.com0
