5th January 2005

New release of txt2html; bug-fixes and changed the installation stuff.

12th January 2005

I've just joined the sentinel_thurs LiveJournal community, and posted my first ficlet there; I have also added a file for such ficlets to my fiction page here.

Da Big Changeover! Though I really should wait until (a) my web-host gives me Apache (b) I have finished polishing the jagged edges, I have been motivated to push this out early because I got a complaint that the site was hard to navigate, especially my fiction page. Since the Big Change to Posy will improve these things, if only by a little, I decided to go ahead.

Unfortunately, the workaround I have to get this working with Zeus means that broken links are much much much harder to detect, since I had to set this up as a 404 processor, which means all but a few links will be logged as not found. (sigh) Yeah, yeah, you don't need to know the techno stuff.

I just hope this does improve things. Otherwise it will be months of effort for nothing.

Teething troubles, I should have expected. Fixed problem with some of the contact emails -- thanks to Ross for telling me about it.

Also wrote a Search plugin (Posy::Plugin::FindGrep) -- it's very simple, and it isn't very fast, but it does the job. No idea if people will like it, but one of the Cardinal Rules is "provide a site search" so there it is.

18th January 2005

New release of txt2html; minor bug fixes.

22nd January 2005

Improvements to Posy; new plugins. Which reflect in this site.

26th January 2005

Tweaking of Posy and settings, to make site better. Also I think I have solved a problem with text-conversion, though more debugging of txt2html is needed.

27th January 2005

Rearranged the Posy plugins setup to include the .tar.gz archive files for those who wish to download them from here rather than CPAN.

Changed the way the Updates page is set up, because, alas, my Web-Host is in a different timezone to me, and therefore, due to technical stuff I won't bother relating, the updates page was showing a different date (sometimes), not the date for me. Which besides being wrong, was confusing -- even if it was only confusing for me.

28th January 2005

New version of Posy (bugfixes) and a few of the plugins. Also tweaked the templates.

29th January 2005

New version of Posy (major bugfix regarding 404 status) and a few of the plugins. Also fixed a number of broken links, now that I was able to check them properly.

Reorganized my fanfic so that all the b7friday drabbles and ficlets are actually separate. This is in anticipation of this year's RemixRedux challenge, where someone might want to expand and remix one of them, since one is allowed to expand drabbles for this challenge; the result has to be at least 500 words, but the original doesn't necessarily have to be. It is more usual that they are, but...

30th January 2005

More tweaks to Posy plugins.
