Another Site Finished

Another site that has just been completed is that of http://www.samphire.it. This is a completely custom site designed for a racing tipster. The code is a mixture of PHP, Javascript and HTML with a back-end MySQL database.

The site features full CMS on all pages with automatic updating of results summaries in real time. In addition, it links through to PayPal for handling subscriptions.

Bits and Bobs

A few jobs on today, some not even IT related (although you could argue that wiring a scart lead from a video recorder to a tv is technology).

I set up a blog for a racing tips service at http://www.samphire85.info/ and sorted out a few network niggles for one of my bigger clients, including re-training spamassassin so it didn't mis-identify emails from their domain as spam. sa-learn is a useful tool - I'll have to spend a few hours learning the various command line options for future reference.

A synopsis of the options are below;

--ham Learn messages as ham (non-spam)
--spam Learn messages as spam
--forget Forget a message
--rebuild Rebuild the database if needed
--force-expire Force an expiry run, rebuild every time
-f file, --folders=file Read list of files/directories from file
--dir Learn a directory of RFC 822 files
--file Learn a file in RFC 822 format
--mbox Learn a file in mbox format
--showdots Show progress using dots
--no-rebuild Skip building databases after scan
-L, --local Operate locally, no network accesses
-C file, --config-file=file Path to standard configuration dir
-p prefs, --prefs-file=file Set user preferences file
-D, --debug-level Print debugging messages
-V, --version Print version
-h, --help Print usage message
