Decklin’s excuse for some blogging software. Est. 2006.

New blog

Okay, I’m putting this blog on Planet Debian... now. The old one is not gone yet, because I’m tired and I don’t think I’ll do it until tomorrow.

In a fit of hubris, I wrote some software to run this blog (which is just a bunch of generated static files), called Mnemosyne. I was bored of PyBlosxom and it was slow. I believe Erinn said something like, now it’s only a matter of time until I write my own RCS... If I get to that point I will really start worrying. If anyone is looking for something along these lines, please tell me what sucks and/or what is broken.

Anyway, rather than categorizing things (ugh), I’m just putting anything tagged “planet” in the feed that goes here. I think this will work better.

Oh, and I almost forgot: my blog now has automatic flooding-prevention. Nothing older than a day gets in this feed. I don’t know why feeds in general don’t have some sort of time limit.

Mission statement

I suppose now that this is reasonably dogfoodable I should think about what I want to do here. Okay. It’s pretty simple actually.

  • Post more often
  • Post less me
  • Post more web

In a sort of tumblelog fashion (inspiration from Projectionist.) I tend to take these sort of things and put them in my away message and then when they’re gone, they’re gone.

More importantly I’ve got my LiveJournal again so all the diarying stuff can go there.

I’m posting from Mutt, and I spent a few hours making a hacky Vim plugin for ReST that makes entering links super easy. Notice all the links in that sentence? So. Who knows where this will go.

First test entry

What a fabulous new weblog system.
