All-Seeing Eye Country Hack

[R1CH]

I got annoyed by the current version of All-Seeing Eye and its inability to properly resolve countries. So I fixed it. Hopefully someone else finds this useful .

Thanks R1CH

i would like to point out that the ASE is dead  but making hacks is useless
as there is still an active alternative called qtracker www.qtracker.com

Thanks for the extra effort getting ase working properly again R1ch. It's greatly appreciated.

Note, V2 is now out, download link updated in the first post. This uses the MaxMind GeoLite database from http://www.maxmind.com/app/geoip_country which appears to be more accurate. If you prefer the old database, just delete the GeoIPCountryWhois.csv file and it will automatically fall back to IpToCountry.csv.

[Xtife]

nobody listen to what xtife has to say, hes full of crap

qtracker is bloated with eyecandy and XP theming! I like my pure Win32 code and native widgets thank you very much .

[Lemonzest]

i hate qtracker, where possible i like my apps to take the xp theme not provide its own (shakes his fist at WLM also) and it don't list the same amount of servers ASE has about 600 servers, qcraper has about 350-400

I like the fix. Works great.

A pity about ASE but like all orphan products it sits neglected, suffering from NIH (Not Invented Here) syndrome as no one at Yahoo understands the code or they can't put significant time into it. Yahoo management has their own set of problems right now, like how to make more money and compete with Google, how big their stock options will be, when they can sell out and retire... important things like that. Actually developing a product that people will use or have been using for years, no, we can't worry about that stuff. I hope the team that owned ASE and sold it to Yahoo got their money out of it and are retired and fat and happy now.

Lean code; functional, bug free code; these are not what make successful companies. Hype, buzz, glitz and bloat; these are the hallmark of really successful executive enrichment.
