CobDDNS released


I have been using my own Dynamic DNS updater client for a while now to update the domain names cobiansoft.com and cobian.se with ZoneEdit. It has been working fine for months and I think it's time for it to see the light.

The binaries and source code are now available from the "Other software" page.

New web-site ready

It was about time. The old site needed a good re-design, so I selected this minimalistic css based layout. I took one of the free templates available on the web, and modified it slightly.

I am now on the process of rewriting the address book. A new C# code is on it's way. I'll be using the ASP.NET 3.5 platform for the Address book.
