What a pile of poo
January 6th, 2005
I’ve fondly grown a distinct hatred (contradiction intended) for WordPress (the blog script I am using). It is utterly crap. I am using it following the famous philosophy “to not re-invent the wheel”, but the fact is, this wheel is more of a square than a circle and thus, I shall be starting my “blog v0id”, shortly.
Those of you interested, I’m considering making it mostly static but I’m also considering using the xml+xslt->html combo although, what is really entertaining at present is the idea of keeping the dynamics to an overall low, since the content after written generally stays put and there is no point in dragging it in and out of the database everytime someone wishes to pass the page over, the positive upshot of doing this would render faster page loading times, less server load and also the idea of transportability from server… meaning you can almost have the blog on any type of machine running… granted you’d have to remake the dynamic bit of the blog (which should be little), but the rest stays in tact and easily transportable.
I think the idea of returning to static is sort of a cliche of my recent ideals of regression. We generally run past that which is good, oblivious to it until it is too late, and being stubborn we try and find some other place that will out do it. I’m trying to abandon progression, without shutting it out, I just don’t want to spoil a good thing with too much “progress”.
Anyhow, someone other than Galit (although, Galit can have a go should she want to); suggest better names than “blog v0id”. How about “a-bl0g” hehehe… go on… comment you brilliant ideas and you’ll be credited for it, should it be used.
