Hello world!

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

It’s been awhile, hasn’t it?

There’s a lot of ground to cover, but for now, the most important thing to know is that I’m trying out WordPress for the blog. Observations on multi-blog setup for Debian Etch are in the works. For now, know that getting individual themes for blogs is a bit of pain in the butt, unless you’re willing to symlink your personal themes to the system WordPress directory. That will be fixed.

Keep an eye out.

PHP and MySQL officially do not suck.

As of this update, this page is backed by a MySQL database, accessed through PHP. I haven’t noticed much of a slowdown yet, but we’ll see what happens when I start adding miscellaneous cruft to the database.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that I’ve made an authoring tool for this page yet. In fact, I’m typing all this in on the MySQL monitor. You wouldn’t believe how much of a pain it is to have to escape every single-quote!

More details to come, assuming the load doesn’t kill the server.
