Older blog entries for hereticmessiah (starting at number 20)

Well, I've recertified everybody who I'd given certification to in the past, but, of course, the old certifications I got still aren't showing up. Thanks to gilbou and salmoni for certifying me as Journeyer.

Something very, very odd's after happening.

Very odd. Worrying, even.

My Advogato account disappeared.

Not completely, mind you.

FusionWiki was still listed with me as lead developer. Quite odd.

So I created a new account under the same name, and lo and behold, all my diary entries were still there.

But all the certification was gone. Disappeared. Kaput.

Any of the certification I'd given to others was gone, and all the certification I'd got was gone.

And all this happened without any notice.

So, did mod_virgule cough up a furball, or did I say something?

Hrumph!

I really need to get my shit together and just do stuff rather than procrastinating all the time. Come to think of it, what am I doing here? I'm supposed to be hacking some webservices together. :-(

Preemptive new year's resolution: cut back on the number of feeds and mailing lists I'm on until I feel I'm productive again. Less bloody browsing! And worship Merlin Mann as the god he surely is. And read Gaping Void a bit more

I've thrown up FusionWiki, my quick hack of a ColdFusion wiki, up on sourceforge. The code is currently crap, but bear in mind that it was originally written in a couple of hours just because I needed a ColdFusion wiki that generated decent markup.

The current codebase is now happily sitting in its CVS repository, and I hope to start doing more work on it soon.

Did I mention that I started working again about a month and a half ago? Probably not. Well, I have.

I. Have. A. Gmail. Account!

As part of Job Search 2004, I’m resubscribing to the Open lists (you’ll know them if you’re an Irish developer) to see what jobs are about. Here goes nothing!

Woohoo! I’ve got the lads at Digital Crew to set up a datasource for me, so now I can work on getting my linklog up and running. About time too!

I’ve decided I’m going to write that Advogato Poster myself. I found XMLRPC-C back last in June 2003, and I’ve been hacking with wxWidgets recently. The basic app shouldn’t be all that difficult to knock together, I think, but I just need a box to build it all on. Seeing as my project box in college hasn’t been wiped by the admins yet, I think I might do it there.

And meanwhile, having finished my degree, jobsearching in Cork...

Saw Shrek II: Excellent. Wait till after the the credits, seriously. :-)

Until I finish my new blogging engine (file-based: we don’ need no steeking RDBMSs) and throws it up on talideon.com, I’m thinking of posting up my blog here for a while.

Question though: is there anything Win32 frontends out there for posting via the XML-RPC interface?
