pool.ntp.org

I am giving some of my resources and some of my time to the community. I have setup and I am now managing two times servers for the pool.ntp.org project.

One is located in the San-Francisco Bay Area [us.time.bsdhost.net], and the second one is in Paris France [fr.time.bsdhost.net].

Mail list validator

While working on a web application called CastAFile, which use a list of email addresses as input. I had to write a Validator to format and validate each email address entered. Here is the code and the description of this validator.

This validator checks a comma separated list of email addresses. This class inherit from validator.Email.

BlogMag.net changes

I have just posted some changes to BlogMag.net.

Navigation changes
I have made some changes to the top menu in the web pages. The button Home now always leads to the member's home page. If the member is not logged in, the member will be asked for a login and password.

Bug fix
I have made some changes in the code to work around the bug in TurboGears. There is a problem with Validator defined inside Compound widgets.

I have fixed that bug by explicitly naming the widget in the method parameters. 
def comment_save(self, id, Captcha={}, **data):
def comment_save(self, id, Captcha={}, **data):
If you want more info for that bug you can read this thread in the TurboGears mailing list.
