WorldIP Free Geolocation Tools and Firefox Plugin

Until now, I didn't find the time to write, because I was working on my project. Yesterday, it was finally started!

Our project WIPmania provides a number of free products and services based on WorldIP geolocation database: so there are database itself, API for developers and Firefox plugin that displays up-to-date information about geographic location of a Web server you are currently visiting.

I didn't like other databases of IP addresses because of quality and price, so I have decided to create my own.
Price. I know two free databases, but they both provide whois data, that means not real location of the network itself, but the location of the network owner. WIPmania's main feature is just the emphasis on the real geographic location of network, this information is much more accurate.
As far as quality is concerned, even the industry giants use the whois data, without paying attention to their correctness (or, more precisely, its absence).

StaticGenerator Pro

Posted by Alrond | Tags: Django : framework : nginx : StaticGenerator :

Jared Kuolt has developed a StaticGenerator for Django - Cache Script. It is helpful, original and easy to use. But the script and nginx-configuration shown by Jared have some drawbacks:
1) actual only for web sites without authorization;
2) working with only simple links;
3) cache creating only by change/add content and/or comments.

I have corrected the StaticGenerator and added something interesting to the script and get StaticGenerator Pro.
