Via Bill de hora:

I [Bill de hora] am moving off Movable Type. In favor of my own codebase. I've decided weblogs are to this decade as editors were to the 1970s. You have to write your own. It's a pretty thin rationale - the 1970s more or less sucked as I recall.

South Sea Republic has done the same. I have moved it from scoop to a homebrew.

It is pretty basic at the moment, and I will start adding more features once it gets established and running in a stable configuration. All the users, articles and comments have been moved over to the new schema; (apart from Damien sorry) and excepting the passwords. I have to confirm a few things in the production environment first and then I will start contacting people to reset their passwords. I didn't 'unhash' them from scoop. Currently they are garblish in the new schema and unusable. I also have registration turned off for now.

Again I will start turning these things on once I become confident of the hosting, setup and installation.

Update: Parts of the site like ass in IE. I will fix those over time, but they aren't a priority.

Update II: The index.rdf file name still works for backward compatibility, though the /rss/ is the official one. It is rss2.0, if anyone begs I can add an atom feed.

  • I've decided weblogs are to this decade as editors were to the 1970s.
    I've tried both and I agree. Weblog engines and editors are both relatively simple to get something barebones and unusable going; and then a labourious death march to get to a point where they are useful and pleasant to work with.

      Both have well defined problem domains, so not much new comes out of solving the requirements. There is also consensus amongst developers and users what they should be like. Yet ...
