Currently my preferred way of handing this will be using OpenId, but I have not found any ... http://erlsoft.org/erlang-internet-framework/45/openid-in-erlang/ One of the biggest downsides to using INETS, the built in web server in the Erlang runtime, is that it does not do multi homing straight out of the box. Because of this single migging feature I had though I would either rewrite the web server, or I'd end up ... http://erlsoft.org/erlang-internet-framework/44/multihoming-with-inets/ I got an email this morning that made me realize how long it had been since I had updated this site.

In that time I think I've come up with some solutions to problems that I thought were inconveinces, but not really problems at the time. After looking ... http://erlsoft.org/erlang-internet-framework/37/erlmail-status/ I've been looking at the way the FSM is handling the responses for the IMAP server for quite some time.

As of this morning I have ... http://erlsoft.org/erlmail/35/imap-server-update/ I was working on the IMAP server this morning and I realized that I had an annoying pattern that I needed to generalize. Throughout the code I have been using the state of the FMS to figure out which is the correct store to get information from and then calling ... http://erlsoft.org/erlang-internet-framework/34/imap-server-gen_store-developments/ This afternoon I had a great conversation with a few of my friends that are starting some projects and are interested in using Erlang at the core of them.
