Hi All,

In this week I have mostly done some 1) content analysis websites on
hidden services, 2) updated Django from the version 1.4 to the version
1.6 and 3) fixed database issues.

Fabio Pietrosanti (naif) suggested that 'Ahmia could also "transform"
itself, also thanks to the Tor2web integration, in a sort of Tor
Hidden Service Observatory.'.

It is interesting idea. Related to that, I have been emailing with
Carola Frediani who asked if I could analyze the content of the hidden
services. I coded a script that tries to fill every field in
https://ahmia.fi/address/ just parsing every site's HTML. I gathered
all the data and made a simple visualization
https://ahmia.fi/static/visuals/content.png. Hopefully this is useful
for Carola. Still, it is the best raw estimate of the type of contents
that are published on the hidden services.

I try to make more data and visualizations available by June 11th when
Carola is going to give a speech about the deep (www.sotn.it).

Still fixing PostgreSQL spesific database issues. I tried to use
SQlite too, but it does not support all the features of Django ORM.
Hopefully, I can use the new features of Django 1.6 to handle
PostgreSQL middleware issues.

I installed PgBouncer, started using 'StreamingHttpResponse' to stream
some of the responses and made new Apache WSGI setup.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Greetings,
- -Juha
