Ok, switching over to my CMS now. Watch for breakage 
Ok, it works! You'll notice my nifty new URLs: http://www.keithdevens.com/weblog/3586
But a lot of little things are broken.
- I don't have links to my RSS feed anymore. The RSS feed is still there, (both the old location, /weblog/?rss, and the new location, /weblog/rss), but I just don't have a link to it yet.
- I have no easy way to edit posts anymore!
- I didn't program my /weblog/?archive page (the yearly archive, etc.) within my CMS yet, so that doesn't work yet.
- On individual category pages, there's no heading that says "Category: Programming" etc. So that has to be fixed.
- Searching my weblog doesn't work (that's kind of a big deal)
Anyway, now that I've finally switched to my new cms code, I can start to throw out all my old code, which will make it much easier for me to work on this stuff. I'm about to go out for the evening, so it won't be fixed tonight, but everything basically works.
I'm looking forward to seeing how Syndirella reacts to the change in my URLs.
Testing, for when my cms goes live today.
Grrr... my good friend invited me to play basketball... so I don't get to work on this for a little while. Darn real life... RSS works, I just have to nicen up my comment posting (so that you get a pretty message saying "successfully posted comment"), and then I can make the switch.
Somewhere in one of my RSS feeds I came across Martin Fowler's Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture (also at Amazon). Before I can check it out in bookstore, the best I can do to find out what's in it is to check out the list of patterns the book covers.
Playing Old Maid
Sometimes in negotiations when you try to issue a conditional threat, of the form "If you do this I'll do that", the other guy may not believe you. You're trying to dissuade him from what he says he'll do by your thread of negative consequences, but if he proceeds anyway, then about all you can do is to try to make your threat even more emphatic. So the UK and US wanted to have another vote, and the French expressed opposition. What the French wanted was for us to give up, not bring the resolution to a vote, and to act without doing so. Then the French could blame us for "acting unilaterally". What we wanted was to bring it to a vote and have the French veto it (or wimp out), because then it would be clear that the UN was a joke. So the purpose of French threats in the last week has been to convince us to not call for a vote.
And in the face of that threat, we continued to say we would ask for one even if we didn't think it would pass. Thus the French went from "We oppose this strongly and will probably vote to oppose" to, ultimately, Chirac himself saying in a TV interview that France would unconditionally veto any resolution which contained any ultimatum or actual deadline. That was a blunder, as will become evident.
Hey, and from his follow-up article, I enjoyed this little tidbit:
Tomahawks don't have to fly a direct route; they're designed to be able to follow quite circuitous routes.
because I just watched Under Siege, and I'd actually wondered about the Tomahawks snaking around the coast of Hawii.
Wow, there's going to be an Under Siege 3? The tagline is "terror flies high", so it looks like they're hitting all three of "land, sea, and air", just not in that order.
My site will be CMS-driven this weekend. It rocks. Only one little thing left to do (get posting comments on my weblog working). There'll be a post on my weblog when it goes live.
Soon I'll actually be able to add fun new features to my site when I want rather than dealing with my old code.
