We have started to deploy a new beta pro service for our site www.mailbigfile.com under the domain max.mailbigfile.com
This service is open to all current pro account holders - its a substantial change in hardware which we hope will give better performance to all our customers. A highlight for the users is the speed improvements to uploading/downloading , 50 downloads per file and they stay around longer as well.
Please send any feedback on this service to: webmaster@mailbigfile.com - with either pro beta or max in the subject line.

This week we have launched a newly designed subcategory page for Natural Home Products, on online retailer specialising in organic mattresses, beds and home furniture. The new page contains a cut-down interface with more user-friendly navigation with a new inline help section. The feedback we’ve received from the client has been really enthusiastic and the improvements seem to have an instant effect, with an increase in orders right off the bat.

We have recently redesigned the DocMonster website: docmonster.co.uk
DocMonster is a product we developed to allow people to Share, Store and Manage Documents and Files Online.
The site is built to W3C standards as you can expect from all new Dessol projects.
One new technology we have experimented with is sIFR (or Scalable Inman Flash Replacement) which enables non-standard web fonts to be used, whilst remaining semantic and search engine visible.
With the marketing site complete, we plan an overhaul of the system proper.

We are running a MySQL replication setup, and find that the binary logs get very large, very quickly. Since MySQL didn’t come with a log rotation script, we rolled our own. Usage is simple:
At the top of the script are some definitions that you need to change for your setup:
- MYSQL_USER MYSQL_PASS - You will need to create a user in MySQL that has the RELOAD and SUPER privileges
- MYSQL_HOST - Where your MySQL server is located
- MYSQL_LOG_PATH MYSQL_LOG_NAME - where your binary logs are kept, and what they are called
- MYSQL_SLOW_LOG_NAME - the name of your slow log file
- MAX_LOG_DAYS - the number of days worth of old logs that you want to keep
Once you’ve configured these values, whack the script into cron and run it daily.
Download the script (1.6Kb)
A vulnerability has been found in the way QuickTime handles Real Time Streaming Protocol URL’s. Until Apple release a Software Update for this, it is recommended that users disable QuickTime support in their browsers. This is simple to do:
- Navigate to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
- Drag the QuickTime Plugin.plugin and QuickTime Plugin.webplugin files to a temporary location, perhaps into your Documents folder
- Restart any open browsers, i.e. Safari, Firefox, Opera etc.
