PookMail becomes Opensource

Yes! We decided to release the PookMail.com source code under the GPL 2.0 Lincese to the Community.

This is our way to give thanks for all of you who all these years have used PookMail, sent to us your comments and suggestions ... and blames :)

If you want to have your own PookMail.com running on your machine, go ahead and download it. We hope you enjoy!

who wants to live forever?

Theres no time for us
Theres no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away
From us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever....?

Theres no chance for us
Its all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?

Who dares to love forever?
When love must die

But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today

Who waits forever anyway?

Esto pareció lo que fué: dos amigos. Una ADSL de Telefónica (Monopolio ladrón según mi opinión) y un Debian. Costes que no me permiten esto. Y un amigo llamado Alex.

Service Available

Hi All,

Just to say that PookMail is up and running.

Updating Database Model

Hi Folks!

Sorry for the incovenience,

Alex

New changes

Since last friday, we were finally able to put the new code in production. We hope this new change (followed with others) will help to keep PookMail running with a decent time response.

We know that a lot of users blamed us. Please accept our apologies but unfortunatelly we can not provide a better support .. we are not a Internet Big Company nor a little startup, notice we have our own jobs in other company.

We did PookMail just for fun and we will continue playing with it as we did for 4 years, but unfortunatelly we don't have 48h per day in our lives :)

We are online again

Our connectivity trouble with our ISP have ended. Thank you for waiting.

ISP Connectivity problems

During all the day you probably couldn't access to PookMail. Finally we got news from our ISP who just told yo us that the connectivity should be restored after 19.00h GMT+1.

Sorry for the incovenience.

Goodbye Ruby ... Welcome Perl!

Since last week Crysys and I we were analyzing all the problems reported by you.

This analysis showed that the new server we bought couple of weeks ago just put more problems over the table. In short, the backend scripts cannot support the ammount of traffic sent by the new server.

With the current backend hardware the only solution that we have is to port the current scripts from Ruby to Perl and try also to simplify them. During last weekend i made this job and my first goal was to have them working at least 24 hours without problems.

Today we reach 34 hours working without problems! But before commit the new scripts scripts into our mercurial repository i rather make some cosmetic changes and add some traces.

I would like to let you know that we will keep PookMail under stronger surveillance the next incoming weeks in order to be sure that the service is stable.

Finally, I would like to give thanks to everybody who spent their time just sending their suggestions, comments and errors reports. That was very appreciated by us.

New Server Installed

Thanks for the ads support we were able to buy a new server to PookMail!

At 14.30 (GMT+1) the new server was installed and configured successfully. With this new one all the problems reported by you during the last weeks were finally solved.

We are very happy to be up and running again and giving the best service that we can to you.
