I started this project in April 2021 but didn’t get around to making a website and tracking my progress until much later that same year. Given that 2022 was the first full year of the .P101 network I thought I would look over what I accomplished and declare what I want to work on in …
I spent all of last month scraping Edward Lifegem’s Blogger site from the API. That’s great and all, but what is the point if no one can access the content? My goal for July was to pull content from a database and make it look and behave as closely to the original site as possible. …
Handshake has a great community full of people interested in this experimental DNS protocol. Every single day I can check one of the Discord servers, a weekly mailer, or a Twitter thread and always find new, thought provoking conversation about the strengths and weaknesses of Handshake domains. While there has been some recent development and …
The way the Handshake blockchain works, anyone can own a top level domain (TLD) by winning an auction on any arbitrary string of alphanumeric characters. When I first started learning about the protocol I immediately jumped for .p101, the TLD that is currently hosting this site. But I also debated over whether or not to …
I’m not really a social media person by any standards but on December 26th of last year I created a Twitter account.

Members of the Handshake community are always developing new things to further the ecosystem. One such member created the search engine HNSSearch which indexes websites built on Handshake names. This tool has been around for a few months but it was pretty bare-bones. Some sites were indexed but most had to be individually requested by …
Just a moment ago I finalized loot.p101 and rehosted a mirror that was created with WinHTTrack. Loot.p101 is a perfect example of the typical Pirate101 fansite: ambitious yet short-lived. The author created a website using Webs.com in October 2012 that sought to catalog all of the premium items in the game. The site mentions “pirate101loot.com” …
Until now, all of the proxies I have created centered on independent websites and Blogger sites. These are fairly straight forward to proxy using Apache’s mod_proxy_html package and there are enough (but I won’t say plenty of-) tutorials online to throw something together that works most of the time. With all of the low-hanging fruit …
The past few months I have been working to preserve what is left of the Pirate 101 community and make it more accessible for content viewers and creators alike. I have finally setup the Network Information Center as a central hub for all of the official and fan sites of the community such they can …
