We currently have 3 cache servers. We could always use more. If you think you can help out, please contact me. Thanks.

Enjoy the service! :)

OLD NEWS

well, it appears all our hosts are blocked. we are working to rectify the problem.

In the meantime, we need some caching servers..

hey, we need some caching servers.. what that means is that your server will request and store stats. Our main servers will randomly choose from a list of cache servers to request the stats and generate the images.

It's easy, all you have to do is put this 'cache' script on your host and PM me, so I can add you to the list.

OLD NEWS

currently we have 8 unique styles to choose from.. more to come!

Usage: http://uptime.enetuk.com/<style #>/<uptime id>.png

That script doesn't (and shouldn't) work if you have register_globals off, I believe. Unless I'm missing where you get the $id at the beginning of the script...

well, our main script will call it with a $id parameter..

for example,

http://bxboy.com/up/cache.php?id=12409

[Adrian]

Above where it says

$config[tmp] = $id . ".dat";

may be yo should add

$id = $_GET['id'];

ok

your very welcome, glad you like and use the service.. we're working on a way to display more than one stat on a single image, that way it would look nicer for people w/ 2 or more machines.

btw, 2 new styles to choose from:

Aim 2004

eMule

[Nic.]

Awesome!

Thanks for all the work, and the hosting of the images too .....

Umm, I'd just like to ask how I make my own custom images. Also, if anyone needs graphics done for them, or hosting, I can help with that.

easy, just make the skin and submit it HERE.

It will be worked on thereafter. As for hosting, you can host a simple cache script.
