Whew! Back up...

Well, blogging is about to resume on something resembling a normal schedule. We had a server crash (at home) on the 14th, and it's just way too much trouble to rebuild it and set up another box. I did a bit of searching to see if I wanted to move to a different blogging platform, but I really like Blosxom, and just couldn't find anything else out there that can do exactly what I want it to do. So I've moved my entire setup onto the webserver, including some XML-RPC stuff for posting, and will be moving my aggregator up as well sometime in the next week. The only concern I have now is maintaining a reliable local backup, but I can just setup rsync to do that once a day from one of the Mac's we have running at home. Not impossible, just annoying and time consuming. But I've really missed blogging - and I have quite a backlog of posts. So stay tuned ... I'll get it all squared away eventually.

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.
