Welcome to the Calindora home page. Some of you are no doubt wondering just what Calindora is. In essence, it's the amalgamation of my various web sites into one, slightly more coherent, entity. Of course, as a result, a number of the less important web pages I previously had online no longer exist. C'est la vie, ma chère. Of course, any number of them may return in time. In any case, there are still a couple of points of interest available here for your perusal:
Shared Web Hosting
As part of growing my interweb presence, I began to have more space and bandwidth than I knew what to do with. As a result, I began to provide some of my friends with relatively low-cost shared web hosting. At some point, I extended this service to the general public. Choose from my wide selection of two plans:
| Basic Hosting | Standard Hosting | |
|---|---|---|
| Disk Space | 250MB | 1000MB |
| Data Transfer | 10000MB | 40000MB |
| Free Domain | No | Yes |
| Monthly Cost | US$2.50 | US$9.00 |
| Order | Order |
The limits aren't necessarily set in stone, but are rather what I consider reasonable defaults. If you have genuine need for additional space or data transfer, I'm sure we can work something out. Don't hesitate to send me an e-mail with any questions or requests. Otherwise, place your order via the links above.
On the other hand, if your site has grown too large for shared web hosting (a goal we all strive for), I wholeheartedly recommend a VPS from either Linode or Slicehost. Both are excellent services, though at this point, I think Linode has the slightly better offering.
Custom Title MOD for phpBB
Back in 2002, I wrote a modification for phpBB 2 called the Custom Title MOD, which allowed users (or administrators) to set their own custom rank. This MOD proved to be wildly popular, and when phpBB 3 was released a few years later, I completely rewrote the MOD for that version. However, I've long since personally lost interest in this MOD, so support and development were accordingly neglected. Indeed, within a few phpBB versions, I expect that new features in phpBB itself will make this modifcation largely obsolete.
Until then, however, people will continue to want this feature en masse. To this end, someone kindly offered to take it off my hands, and it is now currently being supported (and sort of developed) in a new thread. He's made some questionable decisions (such as inflating the version number to 3.0.0 despite no significant changes being made and removing all references to me in the download), but that's the way things go.
Nonetheless, I continue to offer my latest beta (2.0b2) for download, as I consider it stable. I haven't personally tested it since phpBB 3.0.3 or 3.0.4, so I can't vouch for its compatibility. That said, there are very few changes that would break it, so chances are good it works with 3.0.5 (and the upcoming 3.0.6). There are no known bugs in this version, despite what you might read. Every case I have personally investigated has turned out to be a misinstallation or incompabitility with another MOD. If you believe you have found a genuine bug, send me an e-mail and I'll happily try to confirm it.
