John's Blog

I'm John O'Fallon, founder of Maxum and lead developer of Rumpus. Since 1997, I've also been the person responsible for helping people when they have problems or otherwise have questions about Rumpus. Welcome to my blog, where you'll find articles that go into a little extra detail about how a Rumpus server works, describe cool new Rumpus features, and discuss general issues related to running an Internet file server. Anything Rumpus is fair game...
