  • Webpage Contact Form using SMTP in django?

    I have created a website with a simple contact form, which users can use to contact me. I am using a godaddy email account that has a 20 SMTP limit per rolling 24hrs.

    The limit is not a problem as I only have 5 or so people that will be using the site and I can upgrade my account to higher limit, but  I am concerned that some malicious person may use the contact form and use up my limit continuously. 

    I thought about using somekind of captcha to prevent this, but I noticed several sites on the internet dont have captcha on their contact forms. 

    Is there an industry workaround to this problem ? Surely Im not the first to run into this.

  • Nodejs question?

    Ok, im trying to do something really simple and its just not working. 

    I have a plain text file that has 3 ip address

    ips.txt

    10.0.0.1

    10.0.0.2

    10.0.0.3

    all i want to do is read the text file into an array and make it display a full webaddress, for example

    http://10.0.0.1/somepage.html

    Here is my code. 

    var fs = require("fs");

    var text = fs.readFileSync("ips.txt").toString('utf-8');

    var textByLine = text.split("\n")

    console.log("http://"/ + textByLine[0] + "/page.html")

    All the logic looks good but when i run it it displays this:

    "/page.html1.1.171"

    Its like it write the 1st string, then the 2nd and the the 3string writes over the 1st string. This makes no sence to, ive never encountered a programing language that behave like this. 

    If anyone can help me I would really really appreciate

  • SharePoint 2013 help !!! Trouble with "Upload Document" Content type?

    I created a new content type using an InfoPath form and was able to link it to my webpage. Now when a user chooses "New Document" they are automatically taken to the InfoPath form and everyone is happy.

    However, if they choose "Upload Document" they are not taken to the content type I created. Instead they can upload any file. WTF Microsoft.

    Very annoying, does anyone know how to fix this ? I want the Upload Document button to do the same as the "New Document" button

  • Why does Ubuntu 10.4 remember computer name I put in windows ?

    I am running Ubuntu live cd from a usb and I noticed something odd. When I open a terminal and lookup my computer hostname I "Ubuntu" which is what I expect.

    However, when I run the Netstat command, it will display my Windows Vista computer name as a local address?

    Why and how is it reading that information from the windows OS ?

    By the way my Windows OS is on the hard drive which is encrypted, so I really have no idea how this happened ?

  • cant afford my insurance, any tips?

    I purchased a new vehicle about 2 years ago and still have another 3 years left. I can afford the car payments but the insurance sky rocketed after a minor fender bender.

    I like my car and dont know what to do. The primary reason besides the accident Ive been told is because im still under 25. I have about another year before I turn 25 but simply cant afford a whole year of paying this rate.

    My dad suggested I sell the car and use my old car which he has kept, but that would be a big investment loss for me.

    Can we simply borrow each others car and put the insurance on our names? I would take the old paid off car, for 1 year, and get liability insurance and my dad would get my car with full insurance under his name, much cheaper?

    Is this legal, can it be done? I really want to keep my car :(

  • mitsubishi eclipse 95 manual transmission problem?

    i recently started having problems with my car

    about 2 weeks ago i noticed the car vibrated when accelerating from a stop to first gear but only for about 2 seconds as i realeased the clutch

    but now the problem is much worst

    it now also makes a loud rattling noise when i press the clutch down no matter what gear im in even neutral

    i check the hydralic fluid and it was a bit low so i topped it off

    still that didnt do anything

    the car runs fine and it doesnt slip, surprisingly, but still the noise is like if someone stuck a spoon down the sinks garbage disposal.

    and this only happends when the clutch is pressed down

    im planning on pulling the tranny off tommorow but im not sure what i should be looking for in particular,

    should i replace the clutch, throwout bearings, or do you think it could be the transmissinon itself, although i doubt since problem only happends when clutch is pressed

    any advise is welcomed thanks !
