[OpenGuides-Dev] supersearch.cgi disabled
by Paul Makepeace 11 Nov '04

11 Nov '04

Hi folks, I'm sorry for the short notice but I have intervened and disabled supersearch.cgi as follows, chmod a-x /home/earle/openguides.org/london/supersearch.cgi chmod a-x /home/earle/openguides.org/manchester/supersearch.cgi chmod a-x /home/earle/openguides.org/reading/supersearch.cgi I have never edited permissions on anyone's files on any site without being requested to so this is exceptional. I didn't receive any plans on how to fix this issue since I highlighted it 21 Oct 04 and with about 20 instances of this process driving the load over 25 just now I took action. Feel free to switch it on at your discretion when you feel it's not a liability anymore. Please let me know when you do this. (For those curious about the extent to which a process has to go to to bring this machine down, it's a 1.8GHz P4 512MB RAM and RAID0 7,200rpm disks.)

[OpenGuides-Dev] Fwd: Open Guides

Here's an interesting mail I received. I'm not sure if Mr. Denny thinks there's just one OG for the whole UK, but anyway, what do you all think? I'm a little unsure about the idea of autosubmitting things from a network of search sites, and even less sure about using someone else's business listings database. ----- Forwarded message from Bart Denny ----- Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2004 16:50:54 +0100 From: Bart Denny To: Earle Martin Subject: Open Guides Hi Earle, I wanted to make contact preliminarily with you to discuss using the UK Open Guide content with you. We run "Local Search" or internet yellow pages sites, both for the UK and across Europe. We would like to start augmenting the base directory content (we license BT's directory database), adding in reviews, ratings, etc. Your content will obviously fit well within this, and that is the first reason for contact. At some point, Secondly, we'd like to have it set up so that all reviews submitted through our search sites could make their way back onto the Open Guide sites. Finally, as we have all of the business listings for the UK, including latitude and longitude, it may be easier for people to use our site to search for and submit a review - no need for knowing postcodes, phone numbers, X/Y coordinates. Just pop in the name, and click on the right one. We would put these up on some or all of our white label clients' sites. These include www.118118.com and www.yellownet.co.uk. Please let me know if you would like to have further discussions on this. Best Regards, Bart ------------------------------------------- Bart Denny www.inspireinfrastructure.com Tel. +46-8-30 36 43 Mob. +46-708 747 210 ------------------------------------------- � ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Earle Martin http://downlode.org/ http://purl.oclc.org/net/earlemartin/

[OpenGuides-Dev] Wiki for FAQ?
by Rev Simon Rumble 11 Nov '04

11 Nov '04

Can we have a Wiki for an Openguides FAQ? For example, the inverted index problem I just had would be a good one. Location of the Debian packages could go in there. UseMod is a single-script and requires no database. Would be suitable. -- Rev Simon Rumble <simon(a)rumble.net> www.rumble.net The Tourist Engineer Just because you're on holiday, doesn't mean you're not a geek. http://engineer.openguides.org/ "It's the good girls who keep the diaries, the bad girls never have the time." - Tallulah Bankhead

[OpenGuides-Dev] Search weirdness
by Rev Simon Rumble 10 Nov '04

10 Nov '04

On my Openguide, type "millenium" into the search box: http://engineer.openguides.org/supersearch.cgi You get the two millenium bridges, but not the Millenium Stadium. Type Carfidd, and you get it. What's going on here? -- Rev Simon Rumble <simon(a)rumble.net> www.rumble.net The Tourist Engineer Just because you're on holiday, doesn't mean you're not a geek. http://engineer.openguides.org/ I've found Jesus.
