RasterWeb!I heard that Drupal is on the verge of getting clean urls, so you’ll be able to use /2002/01/06 instead of /node.php?id=183 or some such other non-human friendly url…
Obviously every publishing system should support clean urls. I can’t wait!
I spent 5+ hours on Saturday outside on our driveway repairing our van. Actually I assisted in the repairs, a friend of ours did the hard work. And hard work it was. We replaced the fuel pump. This involves removing the gas tank, which happened to be full of gas, and then removing the old pump, insering the new pump, and putting the gas tank back in place. I, like most people, complan about the cost of auto repairs (actually, I complain about the cost of just about anything…) but the guys who work on cars and know what they’re doing get a tip of the hat from me.
I still hate cars though…
Things to do, things to do! This is what I recommend doing, as this is what I will be doing.
Make backups of your data from 2002. I mean, backups are a good idea, but since it’s a whole new year, it’s the perfect time. I plan on making backups of my digital photos and email from 2002. With Mac OS X, Mail.app, and iPhoto this is pretty easy, it’s mainly just a matter of copying the right directories to the right place, and then burning them to CD-ROM‘s. Of course you’ll want to remember to make two copies of each disc, and store one set of copies offsite. As for what ‘offsite’ means to you, you’ll have to decide that on your own.
Ok people, I’m outta here. You might not hear from me again until next year. Or you might hear from me tomorrow, I’m not sure yet.
These are some of the projects I plan to work on in the next two weeks:
Have a nice holiday, or whatever it is you might have in the next two weeks…
Today we used Net::IMAP::Simple to make perl talk to an Exchange server. We normally make Mozilla do most of the talking to the Exchange server, but today someone wanted perl to talk to it. Net::IMAP::Simple is pretty similar to Net::POP3, which we’ve used before.
I’m tempted to really wire up perl to do some crazy IMAP related stuff to see how much I can confuse the IT guys with what’s possible.
