New Gawker stuff
01 February 2005
Gawker launches new things with ersatz titles formed by ramming one noun into another: the bandwagon-hopping Lifehacker and the frankly dull Gridskipper. The methodology becomes more obvious every time: find a bandwagon to jump on, grab a sponsor, make a blog, profit! Lifehacker could turn out interesting, but the Gawker style (which is more appropriate for uploading press releases, as Gizmodo shows) really doesn’t suit it. In short: “meh”.

Has useful stuff on configuring CPAN, too.

Really, really good online tutorial of SQL queries. Need to go over this again

Problems with del.icio.us
26 January 2005
Oh dear. I’ve been having problems with del.icio.us. Not the bookmark manager itself, though; just its daily export to Movable Type.
It exports to the XML-RPC interface built into Movable Type. Which is fine. It finds it, logs in, posts the entry, and logs off. The only problem is I’ve set it up to post to a specific category_id, so del.icio.us posts can appear in their own category… and it refuses to put them into any category. As a result, they appear in the MT system, but not on the site.
Not this site, obviously. Another site.
Anyhow. I’m using MovableType 2.661, with BerkelyDB, and it could be that del.icio.us only interfaces with the XML-RPC interface inMT3+. Or it could be something broken over here. Any ideas? Anyone read this?
