Better Living Through the Internet

In Site, Weblogging on 18 April 2007

I heart the Internet. What did we ever do without it? I know I managed, but it’s hard to remember how. Even though it’s been around for years, and gets handier, if spammier, all the time, sometimes I just have to stop and think “Wow, I’m glad I have this.”

Livejournal User plugin

In Internet, Technology, Weblogging on 8 May 2003

I wanted to make a macro that would detect ljuser:foo and change it into the pretty little thing that Livejournal does that gives you a link to the user’s userinfo page and journal. Unfortunately, I’m clueless about regular expressions, so instead, I copied the asin plugin and hacked it into a plugin that does what […]

Wishing there was a better way to post to Blosxom

In Internet, Technology, Weblogging on 17 April 2003

I really like Blosxom. I like the software. I like the community. I like the plethora of plugins and how everyone is so helpful. I have some issues with it,but I am confident that they will be fixed sooner or later.

There’s just one thing. I wish there were other ways to post to Blosxom. An […]

Darn you, multiblosxom!

In Internet, Technology, Weblogging on 10 April 2003

I’m so unbelievably frustrated that I can’t get multiblosxom to work. It would make thinks a little simpler for me, with regard to upgrading Blosxom. For that matter, I’m unbelievably frustrated about the way Blosxom config info is in the CGI file. It drives me crazy to have to copy and paste all those settings […]

Buy Buy Buy!

Somebody bought me! Er, shares of my blog, that is. I feel loved! Thanks, William!

Blosxom-y Goodness

In Internet, Technology, Weblogging on 9 March 2003

I really love the Blosxom community. I asked if anyone would make a plugin to do Dean Allen’s Textile plain text markup and, not only had someone already been working on it, but he finished it tonight! So this is my first post with it and using the meta plugin that Rael wrote for the […]

Adventures in Blosxom Time Stamps

In Internet, Technology, Weblogging on 7 March 2003

I decided that the entries_index plugin that Rael wrote wasn't really working for me. It's a good start, but it doesn't deal well with moving files, and it doesn't change the mtime, so when I had to delete the index file, I would lose my saved times. So, I decided to go for a simpler approach and used a simple […]

The times, they are a changin’

In Internet, Technology, Weblogging on 6 March 2003

I bit the bullet and moved to Blosxom to power my weblog. I have conquered Apache mod_rewrite so that requests to my main domain name are forwarded to /blog and to disguise Blosxom’s cgi script so that it looks prettier.

I have set up Blagg to run every hour in cron and push any new posts […]

Blosxom Thoughts

In Internet, Technology, Weblogging on 5 March 2003

Well, I’ve been playing with Blosxom for the past day or so and it’s pretty cool. The new version is much advanced from the earlier version I tried, due to the addition of plugins. This enables people to change the way Blosxom works. Well, it enables other people to do so, since I haven’t learned Perl […]
