Mailserver Problem

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

This morning we had a problem with our antivirus mail scanner, this had the effect that received emails stayed in the mail queue instead of being delivered to your inbox.

We now have temporarily  disabled antivirus checking for all mail accounts until the issue is resolved.
There was no loss of data and emails should be delivered to your inbox again.

Update: Problem solved, the antivirus is active again.

Mobile Teaser

Monday, December 10th, 2007

Here is a little teaser of an experimental mobile version of our website. The clever ones will figure out the URLs in no time, but be aware that those interfaces are not polished nor anywhere near feature completeness.

Rails 2.0(.1)

Friday, December 7th, 2007

Rails is the web framework Netmonic is using for developing our public portal and internal management sites. Today the Rails community released Rails 2.0 (and 2.0.1 a bugfix release).

It’s not announced on the internet yet, but you can find the 2.0.1 release tag right here: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/tags/rel_2-0-1/.

Our production website was already running a Rails trunk version during the last few weeks, so switching to Rails 2.0 was a matter of minutes and worked flawlessly.

A big thank you to the Rails community for their great work. Rails 2.0 really brings some nice changes for developer enjoyment :-) . You can read more about them in the original Rails 2.0 Preview announcement: http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2007/9/30/rails-2-0-0-preview-release. And even more on Ryan’s blog: http://ryandaigle.com/articles/2007/12/7/rails-2-0-final-released-summary-of-features.

PS: In the future, posts in the Development category will be posted in English, other categories posts in both, English and German.
