Updates…
Hi all, yes I’m still alive
just haven’t really gotten around to updating this stupid blog all month
. Well I guess not too much has happened this month, except for the fact that I’ve had to leave town just about every other week…hopefully that will quiet down. I think the last thing on the list this summer is the camping trip next weekend with my church. Let’s hope.
This past month I’ve been working on a lot of updates for Midget. Mainly a “wiki mode” feature that turns Midget into a compact version of MediaWiki. Once again it’s 100% original code – believe me, when I took a look at MediaWiki’s formatting parser I almost fainted. As far as I can tell it doesn’t use preg_replace even once. So using regular expressions (think /^(.+)\n([A-z0-9]*)/si) I did in 20 lines what it took the MW team to do in 50 or 60 lines. Anyways Midget now officially supports wiki mode and the basics of wiki formatting, page history, et cetera. Todo: file uploads, better page author tracking, and of course security fixes.
I suppose that I should mention my anti-Vista activist site: http://whynotvista.midget.no-ip.org/. I plan to change the hostname to whynotvista.no-ip.org soon, so be prepared. Sometime I’ll post something here about Treacherous Computing, whenever I get around to it. Actually it’s 2 AM right now
I couldn’t sleep, something woke me up and I can’t figure out what the heck it was. I’m starting to get sleepy again so I’ll head back to bed.
