Another weekend of Brosella, starting today. Facebook and Last.fm page are up.

Be sure to check out my free FON WiFi coverage and drop some feedback. ;)

Open in new window.

Following stations are giving a problem:

• Aalst,
• Asse,
• Brugge,
• Mechelen

Trying to find a fix.

Issue: All those stations give an additional intermediate page with the question to confirm your station choice.

Old solution: could be by-passed by adding “[B]” to the end of every station name but this has recently changed and is no longer working.

Current solution: none yet. Working with cURL to check the POST data.

Report additional broken stations to bugs@irail.be please.

After careful consideration with my lawyer Ywein Van den Brande, I have decided to put iRail back online.

The copy of the letter to the NMBS/SNCB can be viewed here.

Minor modifications have been made to make it work correctly again with the new route planner of the NMBS/SNCB (changelog); and I’ll keep working on it to optimise it (next on the todo list is a better results page). Also, feedback is always welcome… But mail me; not the NMBS/SNCB. ;)

Been slacking a bit lately, but here they are:

• /etc/nginx/nginx.conf // general nginx config
• /etc/nginx/sites-available/blog // my current (as of posting this) rproxy settings for this blog
• /etc/nginx/conf.d/proxy.conf // reverse proxy related config

Only because stats are pretty awesome. The effects of my media attention a few days ago. I’ll give some more info than what can be seen here.

And pretty happy I set up my nginx caching up a few weeks ago.

MRTG traffic stats on vm1, my nginx caching server, of the first 2 days (only major traffic source is this blog):

As I have no choice.

Geachte,

NMBS heeft onlangs vernomen dat u de uitbater bent van de website www.irail.be.

Uw website is, zoals u het zelf vermeldt, een route planner waarbij alle gegevens en informatie van NMBS website komt (“all data and info is retrieved from the B-Rail website”).

uw website maakt hergebruik van de data van NMBS. Hierdoor schendt u haar intellectuele rechten, zoals haar auteursrecht en databankrecht. Tevens maakt u zich daardoor schuldig aan het strafrechtelijk misdrijf van namaak.

Last exam… Ever?!
