Greetings flashfreaks!
It's me, back on the attack after a bit of a hiatus borne of way too much work. I got Sasha's okay to drop a little morsel of news regarding my LED website.
The news is that OddOne's White LED Information has been HEAVILY upgraded. (URL's in my sigline.)
The site was until today using PHPnuke (a popular open-source CMS), but I was having really bad problems with adbots and skript kiddies running roughshod over my site by way of security vulnerabilities and exploits in PHPnuke. So, I replaced PHPnuke with GSE, a website engine I've been working on for my software company. GSE's much more security-centric (it'll tell me WHAT security breach was tried, who tried it, how many times they tried it, and autobans after X number of attempts to break in) than PHPnuke was, and that let me turn stuff back on that I had to turn off before. It's funny how many adbots I've been watching bounce off the site since the engine change!
I've copied over all of the articles from the old OWLI, but user accounts don't translate so it's a clean slate there. So, folks that had accounts might want to drop by and cook up a new one real quick. Folks that have contributed content might also want to let me know what their old username was, or use the same user and E-mail address as their old, so that I can grant authoring access.
Also, I'm restating my open invite for CPFers to contribute writeups for OWLI. As long as it relates to LED tech in some manner it's probably apropos to OWLI. And, I can extend authoring capacity to folks that want to do regular or semi-regular article submissions - the site's administration backend uses the Xstandard WYSIWYG editor plugin, so making page content's rather easy and the resulting page is standards-compliant so non-browser apps and equipment (WAP-capable cellphones, Braille terminals and page readers for the blind, etc.) can access/display the content.
That's all for now... We now return you to the previous program, already in progress...
