Why the new site? Stic go buh-bye
So why did I change my email after almost 9 years? Why did I move my site? Well, it turns out that stic.net got bought by people in one of my least favorite states. [btw- I know it's not fair to make fun of a state I've never been to, but it's fun!] Here's the story (registration req. or use the bugmenot.com link over on the right side of the page). 12 Aug 23:08 | /news | 0 comment(s)
So far I'm not liking Blosxom
So when I moved off of stic net, I thought- hey this'll be a great time to move over to a linux or unix server. There was a lot of stuff I had to rewrite for asp for the old site- yeah, yeah, I hated iis too. Anyway one of the things I tried on one of my shell accounts was pyBlosxom. I tried it mostly because Pridkett uses it, and well I like to copy people. It turns out that this box doesn't have python installed, so I thought- okay, I'll try blsxom out for the blog- since pyBlosxom was based off of it, it should be smooth sailing. Wrong. Right out of the gate I've had a lot of criticism around the structure and the default templates. Even the plugins don't work the way they should. And most importantly- there's no tool like fixfiletime.py. There is a plugin available, but that just keeps a cached list of file comparisons. As the kidz say: omgwtf? (and don't get me started on the fact that pyBlosxom validates out of the box) So to make a long story short- if you can read this, great. If not and you're getting a 404 on worldnet, that means the stupid ass calendar plugin cache broke again- which is great- take a look at the right for a highlighted day and see if it matches this story- chances are it won't. So how am I gonna fix this? I'm not, I'm going to bitch and moan. This is a 'rant' entry. The first one on the new site. Whoopdie Doo! 12 Aug 20:43 | /rants_and_raves | 0 comment(s)
