Below are some files that offer a peek inside Blackstone's administration system. They are static pages saved in an early November visit to the server. Files have been given descriptive names and renamed from .php to .htm. Aside from this, the saved pages have not been modified unless otherwise noted.
NB: Since these are saved, renamed pages, none of the links or images will work. Use your "Back" button to get back out of each page.
Admin
The main administration
page. This provides links to the main areas of the OASIS ad system.

File
This shows what the nuts-n-bolts
of the software have been up to. (Not very interesting.)

(or in Blackstone's case, any old boob) to change the maximum allowed filesize
for each (width/height) size of banner graphic.

and change information about each advertiser.

Campaign
Insertion
Inserting the new campaign
into an extensive list of contextual advertising categories. A larg portion
of the list has been excised to make it smaller. The original file was
well over a megabyte, consisting mainly of HTML tables--these took over
a minute to render on my machine (800 MHz Athlon, 256MB memory) when viewing
the page locally.
Sections
A list of contextual sections
(keywords, etc.) to advertise on. Warning: This file is about half a megabyte.

Selecting reports on ad
performance by campaign, date, section...
Reports
Viewing reports by a specific
campaign (Deluxe Casino).

Viewing reports by section.

invoices.

This invoice is for $0, probably explaining why it is unpaid.

A page explaining testing
procedures for the Blackstone Data Transponder, which gives away the (obsolete,
now) default password to their server. This was taken from a former
host of Blackstone Data Transponder.
