Site Update

I added a calendar feature to PageCat, as you can see if you look in the rightmost column of the home page.  It allows you to display a calendar and highlight days on which you have written articles.  There are many different ways to configure it, although I'm sure I'll find some way to improve it in the near future.

I think I need to work some more on the image selection feature so that it's easier to get images online.  In my next weblog entry I will knock all of my pictures off the home page.

Ok, Here's Weird...

I have this routine written in PHP for PageCat that basically looks through a directory for a filenames that match a certain regular expression, then includes them, like this:

So this usually works.  But for some reason, every so often, it just stops working.  I mean, it's going along fine for a few days, and then all of a sudden BLAM!  And then it doesn't work any more at all.

Content Bone

I read an article from Wired News this morning about a guy who posts information about case law online.  He basically found an error in a court document, and after the judge on the case read about the error in this guy's weblog, he fixed it and credited this man for finding the error.

Anyway, the author of the article (maybe in quoting the weblog author) goes on about how people that have weblogs tend to have introspective postings, and frown upon those who have real-world content.  I would rather have content for my blog than introspective rants about this and that.  But hey, what else would I have to write about in outside life if not for my daily rantings, right?
