Portland was really good. We picked a good hotel this time (we’ve stayed in some real dives) and the Portland Spirit dinner cruise was fantastic. I’d highly recommend anyone looking for something nice to do in Portland, check this out.
TODO list for chuggnutt.com:
I’m getting my custom blog management software reconfigured, in light of the problems I outlined in the last post. So far, it seems to be working.
Something in the server configuration running this site has changed, causing my PHP script to add blog entries to not work, and I can’t quite figure out why. (Incidentally, this is also why there’s a big gap since the last post.) My script is supposed to send an authentication header to the browser, for simple Apache realm authentication, but the browser (Internet Explorer 6; I haven’t tested with others yet) hangs. Very, very, very frustrating.
As near as I can tell, this became a problem when WebDAV was installed on this server, which must have changed the configuration somewhere to affect this. In the meantime, I’m posting directly via phpMyAdmin, which is a totally killer MySQL GUI-like interface written in PHP.
It may be pretty raw, but here I am posting the first entry to this blog. It’s a homegrown system I hacked out in about 2 days using PHP4 and a MySQL database.
Still a ton of things I’d like to do with this, given the time. I probably need to make it template-based, right now the HTML is hard-coded into the PHP, but that was a quick way for me to hack it out.
So, email me and tell me what you think!
