Been a while since I coded anything on my own free time.

Well, today I did something: A small CGI script called "Package Office".

This just because I-Drive, like many other online file storage services, decided to shut down the free service and concentrate on corporate data housing.

Now, I'm not whining - maintaining a huge datacenter needs money, yeah - but AFAIK there aren't too many "network drive" providers here that I would pay for. Foreign payments are co$tly for those without credit cards.

My ISP and the university gives nice slice of webspace for me to use, and I can put temporary stuff on some directory and people can read it there. But one problem: People can't upload their files to me.

The script solved that part.

I'm not releasing the script yet. I must implement the "quota" thing (to keep the upload directory reasonably sized) and take all security viewpoints into account.

Hmphf. What a way to spend the midsummers... Well, at least I'm having fun in my own way =)
