Moving News

Whew! I completed a major redesign of haxton.org today - in preparation to mving the blog over there. Figured I'd take the opportunity to get rid of some of the darkness hanging around - lightened the backgrounds, redid the menus, added all my stories from here to there.

I also made it back thru November putting titles on these posts to make indexing in Blosxom easier. What a royal pain! The only time Radio uses titles is in the RSS feed - otherwise they're ignored. Blosxom depends on titles to build it's indices - hence the problem.

The export tool by Andy Fragen is quite useful - not perfect, but very, very appreciated!

I also managed to get AmphetaDesk running on the Big Mac as a daemon (of sorts). Hacked a little Perl - I'm no Perl God, but I am getting fairly proficient at hacking on Perl sources. Now I gotta do a bit of hacking to get a "post" button for the blasted thing operating, and a bit more to get an automatic "upstreaming" function for my new setup.

Lot's to do, but it's gonna be fun.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
