Site move almost done

Spent a bit playing with pyblosxom and such. It's crazy easy to setup. It meets my requirements in that it lets me post things, has useful plugins I want to use, and doesn't require a massive database system.

There's still lots to do:

  • Write a new script to let me post things with my own metadata
  • Integrate CVS/SVN repo information?
  • Add projects and articles sections
  • integrate project and article pages somehow into the blog.

Site move soon, perhaps.

I'll be moving this site to my new domain as soon as I get things setup there. I won't bother disclosing the name at this point, seeing as how there's nothing there.

As a hint, however, I will say I came up with the name using this perl one-liner:

perl -Mre=eval -ne 'print if m/^s(.)(??{"[^$1]+$1"}){2}$/' words
(are your eyes bleeding, yet?)

That regex will find all valid sed substitution expressions in the file 'words' (freebsd's dictionary file). So, anything printed by that perl code will be valid as a sed command. ie: "streetlet" is valid as

% echo "ree" | sed -e "streetlet"
le
I learned a new word in the process of running this script. syzygy

Nothing quite like using perl to choose a domain name for you. Yeah, I'm a dork.
