I’d been thinking of using cvs to help manage offline file-based blogging with Blosxom, but I recently read a couple of posts by Marc Nozell and Rael (to whom the title of this post is attributed) describing how they use rsync. It’s a nicer idea than using cvs, so I’ve gone for it. [...]
To complement the script that allows me to share my feed list with others, including Radio Userland users (with the coffee mug link), I’ve now written a simple pair of scripts which do the equivalent of the 5335 script mentioned earlier.
The point of the 5335 link is that the target is 127.0.0.1, that [...]
In the same vein as the experiment with Peerkat, I’ve now exposed the feeds data for Blagg (which is the RSS aggregator mechanism I’m using with Blosxom) as a list on the right hand side of the weblog here.
It’s very simple; Blagg uses a text file, rss.dat, to keep a list of RSS feeds [...]
Well, I got everything back in order relating to the old experimental weblog, and I’m running an instance of Peerkat to expose the blog data. It’s back at the same address (http://www.pipetree.com:8080) but is just for reference. I’m pressing forward with this new Blosxom-based weblog.
There seems to be a wonderful, um, blossoming of scripts, tools, and ideas arould Rael’s [hmm, note to self - I need to write some vim macros so I get nice <a href=... tags for various commonly used terms, like here: 'Rael'] Blosxom and the new Blagg mechanisms. How about a Blogger [...]
The essence of Blosxom, using basic tools and OS-level building blocks, inspires one to keep things simple, and celebrate the humble file as the lowest common denominator for data interchange. Now that I’ve got the possibility of including lists of things on this page (or on other blog pages, for that matter), I’ve managed [...]
The move from Peerkat to Blosxom coincided with open disk surgery on our colo box that hosts this website. I’ve got this weblog up and running but need to install Python so I can boot my Peerkat-based experiments previously at http://www.pipetree.com:8080.
I’m really taken with the simplicity of Blosxom. As the weblog entries are simply textfiles, [...]
My interview on jabber.org has been posted. Yikes!
I visited Matt’s blog today after finding his Google script that I’ve adopted, and followed an interesting link to an article, “Search the web via IM”, in which Matt is interviewed regarding Googlematic. It’s interesting that the ideas expressed at the start of the article:
Do you use your IM client so much [...]
Well, after having a look at Peerkat, from the pen of that maven Rael Dornfest, I turned my attention to his Blosxom project, a beautifully simple weblog mechanism that celebrates the power of the *nix shell, tools, and simple files. It’s just up my street, and I’m a definite convert. Nice one, [...]
