It's DNS.BE's turn for V2
By Arti on Thursday 30 November 2006, 18:10 - Internet
The .be registry has just informed us that they will be shutting down their machines during a brief transition to the V2 of their technical platform tonite at midnight, and this - for un unknown length of time.
During this time, which may last at best several hours, or worse, a very long time or even worse than that (Murphy's law), all operations concerning .be domains will be suspended (if they depend on passing on a request to the registry of course).
We will let you know as soon as our Belgian friends plug it back in!

Addition of visitor statistics to GandiBlog
By Ryan on Friday 24 November 2006, 08:52 - GandiBlog
To view your blog's stats, click on the "Statistics" link that now appears in the left-hand column in your blog's administration interface. You will then see a page that displays your statistics for the current month (stats for previous months will be saved, and all stats begin on November 2006), along with the usual information (visitors per day, breakdown of visitors, browser information, etc.).
Something somewhat unique: you may see what keywords were used in Google to find your blog, as well as the most recent links to your blog's address.
Statistics are updated each day before midnight via the application, Visitors.
Statistics may vary somewhat from the results you get from other tools you may have added. This is to be expected, though please contact us if you see a difference that seems abnormally wide.
More good news: we will soon be giving you easy access to your blogs' raw logs so that you can use your favorite log analyzer
PS. Please remember that we are still in the Beta version of GandiBlog...at least for a couple more days

GandiBlog Update, Part IV
By Ryan on Tuesday 7 November 2006, 11:06 - GandiBlog
Dotclear released version 2 beta 3 yesterday, and the update of GandiBlog followed today (not without some minor disturbances that hopefully you have not noticed).
You can already see the improvement made to this new version of GandiBlog (which has been updated several times already), in that it now has a plug-in for pings.
You may therefore notify the services of Ping-o-Matic! and Google Blogsearch. Ping-o-Matic allows you to notify many different services. If you want us to add others, just ask!
You may have also remarked that on the bottom of the page of your blog you will see a link to the following page: GandiBlog. This is the page where you can see a list of all the most recently-updated blogs (a RSS feed will soon be available).
Statistics will be available in the coming days.

Multiple writers for GandiBlog!
By Ryan on Monday 16 October 2006, 09:45 - GandiBlog
Due to a technical problem, this will take longer than anticipated...just kidding! Everything is ready, there is no need to click on "Totally delete" right away
The principle is simple, you can invite whoever you want (enter their Gandi handle) to write entries in your blog, and assign them administrative rights.
GandiBlog Update, Part III
By Ryan on Monday 16 October 2006, 09:20 - GandiBlog
We updated GandiBlog yesterday, and several improvements have been made:
- Addition of Wiki syntax help (click on the question mark next to "Text formatting" to access it).
- Possibility of entering your Gandi handle in both uppercase and lowercase letters during login.
- Possibilitiy of choosing how to sort the tags in the tags widget.
- Correction of a problem with the HTTP proxy (for your weather or RSS feeds).
Consequently, the "Latest News" has reappeared in the Dashbord.
Please note: major changes have been made to the XML/RPC interface. In order to avoid sending your Gandi passwords out in the open, the XML/RPC interface has been moved. Information necessary for accessing it is available in the settings of your blof. The XML/RPC interface must first be activated before it will work, and before you can obtain the information that you need for your client.
The mandated user (aditional administrators of your blog) option will soon be up and running. The good news is that all is ready, there just remains one more thing to do...
The forum is also ready to go, and since this no longer depends on me, please give your encouragement to Tuf, who has taken the relay

.EU at half-mast
By Arti on Tuesday 5 September 2006, 15:12 - Internet
You may have noticed that the .EU is experiencing some problems today. The EURID Registery is out-of-service and the information we received from them is brief.

Thus, we are waiting and will keep you informed as soon as we have more news.
***EDIT***
5:00 PM, the .EU is back and ready to roll

AllPeers for Firefox
By Ryan on Thursday 31 August 2006, 16:20
A plug-in has just been released in a beta version today; an idea that is very interesting (P2P plug-in for Firefox for file sharing), but less convincing in reality...
Our customers are great!
By Ryan on Thursday 31 August 2006, 16:03
For some time now, we have been mulling over the idea of writing a couple of short tutorials to help make using our services (and domain names in general) more accessible to internet users.
Well...one of our customers has beat us to it
Wednesday 30 August 2006

By Ryan on Wednesday 30 August 2006, 17:18
As a response to repeated requests on the blog or by mail, we are making available a banner that has been made by one of our customers.
Change in the domain name market
By Ryan on Wednesday 30 August 2006, 17:07
A wide subject, which is not being debated by the public-at-large, simply because it has been deliberately positioned as technical (though for selling them, a certain company placed an add during the Superbowl with big boobs being used as a sales argument).
It is true that it would be too complicated to explain to the general public that they will once again be cheated into paying too much, that a few companies will continue to make millions off them, with a resource that should be a commodity, that-is-to-say, accessible to all for very little.
