Bye Bye ASP Nut, Hello ASP Nuke
September 01, 04 by kenrichWell, today finds me in my new role as e-mail blast administrator. This will be my role on every Wednesday from now on. Since a friend of mine just left the company to works somewhere else, the task has fallen upon me now. I can’t say it’s all that difficult. It simply involved cutting and pasting text from a Word file to an HTML and text e-mail and then cleaning up the formatting. I have most of the work done already. Currently, I am delayed because our mail server has gone down and I can’t get the information I need to finish the setup and mail the next person in the chain.
On the personal side, I have switched my attention from ASP Nut
temporarily to ASP Nuke (yeah, funny how my sites have a similar name
huh?) I haven’t made any updates to ASP Nuke (an open-source web portal application) in over a year and there are some major fixed that need to be made. Also, this new version will see the introduction of support for the MySQL database (a free database server for Windows and Linux).
I am going to give ASP Nuke a quick “once-over” and then build a package for Source Forge. It should generate a lot more traffic and attention for my site since the main drawback it currently has is that it only supports Microsoft SQL Server which costs quite a bit of money. Not exactly the type of thing you want to tie a free software project to.
