OpenNSD

In Bing!

While OpenNSD.org is still not in Google’s index, it is in Bing’s.

What’s up with that??

Still Not in Google’s Index

2009-06-09T12:01:18-04:00

OpenNSD.org remains absent from Google’s index. That’s too bad, as I continue using NSD3 and AOL Server. I’d like to use this as a platform for sharing my ideas about these great software packages, but since Google is the primary information research tool for many people, I’m not sure if its worth it.

Too bad!

My NSD3 Restart Script

2009-06-02T19:43:16-04:00

I’m starting to use this, along with rsync and incrond, to automatically restart nsd3 on replicated name servers:

lockfile="/var/lock/rebuild_nsd.lock"

if [ ! -f $lockfile ]
then
    touch $lockfile
    sleep 30
    cd /etc/nsd3
    cat nsd_top.conf nsd_bottom.conf > nsd.conf
    /usr/sbin/nsdc rebuild
    /etc/init.d/nsd3 restart
    rm $lockfile
    exit 0
fi;

I’m really getting curious as to why this site isn’t getting indexed. The Googlebot has crawled the site, webmaster tools has processed the sitemap, and the pages are indexed in the Yahoo! database, what gives?

I’m going to keep blogging about this until I get to the bottom of it. Thanks for your patience.

Still Nothing - Why the cold shoulder?

2009-05-22T06:30:38-04:00

I wonder why this site just isn’t getting any attention from the Googlebot?

Now I’m really starting to get curious!

No Love from Google

2009-05-20T02:49:54-04:00

I recently noticed that this site does not have any pages listed in Google’s search engine. Boo-hoo!

I requested reconsideration last month, I wonder if they’ll ever respond?

In the meantime, I’m going to add more blog posts here and see how things develop.

NaviServer

I almost forgot about NaviServer too:

NaviServer

It is a fork of AOL Server, and seems like its continued to be maintained.

New NSD

2008-10-29T18:43:17-04:00

There is a new NSD program out there - Name Server Daemon - and like the name suggests, it is a DNS server.

NSD: Name Server Daemon

AOL Server + TCL Rocks!

2008-07-10T19:12:53-04:00

So I’m really pumped about AOL Server and TCL. Its good stuff! Since first trying it out a few weeks ago and weeding through a bunch of docs, I’ve found aolserver4-nsxml.

I’ve tweaked it a little and have been able to conclude that AOL Server is going to work great for this project.

Nice work people!

Rise from your grave…

Open NSD, like a lot of AOL Server / TCL stuff, is way old school, but totally awesome t the same time. From what I’ve gathered, Open NSD was a fork of AOL Server by the ACS folks.

ACS (now OpenACS) is the arsdigita community server, which works hand in AOL Server. It was created by the fine folks at arsdigita in Cambridge, Massachusetts, some of whom were affiliated with MIT, like Philip Greenspun (actually a professor there).

So why revive Open NSD? Well there are a few links out there in the world pointing towards the domain, and I figure if someone clicks on one, they should at least find some information about AOL Server, TCL, and the like. And it just so happens I’m working on a software package having to do with these topics, called RobotizeME.com.

So far I really like AOL Server and TCL, but I am going to have to do some work on nsxml.c.
