tomhudson's Journal: You can now download the first part of trolltalk framework

Since I'm doing the rewrite from scratch to avoid even the slightest possibility of a certain jerk trying to make any more bogus copyright claims, the user, discussion, e-commerce, etc., modules will be delayed for a bit - but I figure I should be able to get them all out within the next few weeks.

After all, once you've invented the wheel a few times, re-inventing it isn't that big a deal - it's the adding of improvements since your last iteration that gets "interesting".

So go to trolltalk.com and take a look, and if you want to kick the tires, download the files - you get a mirror of what you see in just over 100k.

Remember, the previous iteration has been used to build ecommerce and other sites, so this isn't a "blue sky" project, just a rewrite with a slew of mprovements.

All you need is a server that can serve up php files. database support has been remarked out in the config file, but if you want to enable it, just add your account info, and unremark the line that loads the db.1 module, and remark out the one after it, that DOESN'T load the db.1 module.

I just finished benchmarking it serving up content from my laptop - just over 300 pages per second (100 concurrent requests, 10,000 requests total). Not too shabby, but if you need to do slightly better, remark out snippet('foot.1'); it doesn't do anything since there's no post-html data or stuff to send ...

The next step is to re-write the user stuff, so you should have all that by next weekend.

GPLv3?

Suggestion: GPLv3 to prevent douchebags like your former boss from using it, but offer alternative licensing deals as well for the non-douchebags.

Thank you. Do I dare say "You betcha!" ? It's AGPL 3.0 or better (in other words, the GPL, version 3, along with some enhancements).

About -> License [trolltalk.com], plus at the top of most of the files. Scroll down to view the source to core/gpcs.php [trolltalk.com] as one example.

I copied the license page verbatim from the source, gnu.org [gnu.org], so anyone downloading the current tarball gets it.

You can mix-n-match GPL 3 and AGPL 3 code according to both licenses, so I think/guess/hope it's good ... and yes, on the About page I mentio

Not me, shit-for-brains. I've been waaaaay to busy to troll anyone lately.

Re:

The AGPL license [gnu.org] is SUPPOSED to be copied verbatim from the source. Moron. Like I said elsewhere, you need to take a remedial English course. If this is an example of how you research anything, no wonder nobody takes you seriously. Go back to McDonalds.

pah... coward. for starters. but more importantly: you said she "stole code" -- from where or what, exactly? who gives a flying fuck about ntfs in that context haha? stop distracting..

Re:

[tomhudson]

Thank you. You bring up a good point. How could I steal my code from myself? Especially since I had GPL'ed it before I ever went to work for the wannabe thief?

That's one reason why the new release is AGPL 3.0 or better; if you're writing code for a living, you don't want someone else trying to misappropriate code you wrote, or blocking your future contributions. "If you want to use this, it's Gnu AGPL. You can't 'own' it."
