It's actually kinda fun going through old entries and figuring out how they should be tagged. The "life" tag is now gone as all I write is about life in all its different parts and all its glory, and that allowed for the rest of the tags to get better representation in the tag cloud I use.

I'm pretty much done with it, but I can't say it's wnritely done, as there may be some entries that aren't entirely correctly tagged. It will happen as I discover them, no need to stress it...

... to move to new software. New habits an' all, so you'll have to forgive the little glitches such as a sudden [[meta title="..."]] for a moment or that kind of stuff, at least for a little bit...

Since I moved to PyBlosxom, I've realised that it wasn't good enough for me. I used it in conjunction with monotone, but it was a pain, mostly PyBlosxom doesn't have an easy way to pick out the creation time of the entries.

So, in the mean time, I've discovered , which comes with a monotone interface that does exactly what I want!

Now, I'll have to see how smoothly I can integrate a photo gallery as well, and this blog will be a dream to work with... but that's still just a dream. Still, what I have now is still damn good.

As part of this move, I'm tossing the subcategory structure I had and am using tags instead, including a "state of the art" tag cloud.

Just like my friend, I couldn't resist this one...

It's interesting how the net changes to become more centered around humans as time goes. I just found out about XFN through my good friend elmindreda, and got immediately hooked, and basically converted all links to people I've cared to mention so far.

The only question that remains is if I should add my journal to the relationship spider. It is scary to expose oneself to that degree, and I'm uncertain what my motives would be if I did.

I'm getting into philosophy, much of which is my own, but with a bit of influence from the Jungian camp...

I'm drafting something up on love and what it means to me, which I will release much later.

OK, I've long looked for a better way to write my journal, and specifically for something that included some kind of RSS/ATOM feed. I finally settled for PyBlosxom, which is a a Python reimplementation of blosxom.

My plan is to integrate this smoothly with a photo gallery I'm working on.

I'm currently storing all data in a monotone repository, and generating the pages statically on my laptop to save on processing time.

I'm writing far too little in this journal. I'll see what I can do about that...

One year ago, one of my disks (my user disk, no less!) crashed. It crashed so hard it was impossible to save anything (trust me, I went to professionals Ibas, and they basically found a large amount of magnetic dust. Not good!

Unfortunately, my web log indexer went along with that disk, and having a new son ([[!Jacob ]]) grabbed my attention, so making a new web log indexer was out of the question.

So, next thing was to find some weblog software that could do the stuff I wanted, and that I could somehow port to VMS. Basically, something in Perl that could produce pages that looked close enough to my original diary. You can see for yourself what I finally found :-).

Now, with my attention grabbed by my marvelous son, a VMS port never happened, even though it probably would have been really easy. However, a couple of weeks ago I found a really cheap PC (see image below) on which I installed Debian GNU/Linux. It's mainly meant as a CVS server and a backup name server, but I thought it could be a good idea to have it serve journals as well, so here goes.
