I am now back in the UK.
It was a rather long drive in a limousine, first time driving an automatic large distance, a left hand drive, and a limousine. But it was a good drive anyway.
The French Pyrenees look nice anyway, below is a video fram the trip out:
Last night I started working on http://www.dotbitsearch.com/.
This website crawls the full list of .bit domains found at http://dot-bit.org/tools/.
More advanced indexing of page content is currently work in progress. Between soon driving to spain, and setting up a call center and wiring I am not sure on the completion of this.
Although i'm sure it will usually be work in progress. Crawls or the entire .bit network are made weekly, while active domains are scanned more often than unused domains....

I kept coming across this error when trying to follow a guide for configuring bind with geodns.
The following from pingbin.com/2011/01/bind-with-geoip-error solved the issue with cc!
The fix for my system was open the following file:
nano /etc/ld.so.conf
Add the following line, which defines where to find "libGeoIP.so*"
/usr/local/geoip/lib/
