[15:57] the calendar plugin
I got the calendar plugin working once I got access to the error logs! It seems that it likes to create a file called $plugin_state_dir/.calendar.cache and as I (an ordinary user) own that directory, the web services (running as the ordinary web services user) can't write to the directory. So, if you're gettint a 500 Internal Server Error just by having the calendar plugin in the $plugin_dir, that's why!
[15:28] File formats and so called "standards"
Last week I kicked back into "Job Huntin Mode" so I've been sprinkling resumes around like confetti. For various reasons my distributable resume is in PDF format.
By way of response I've had several requests for my resume to be re-sent in "standard Word Format". There are a myriad of reasons why I'd prefer not to do that and the majority of them are covered in a very nice rant/article entilted MS Word is {Not} a document exchange format.
Basically I have two options:
CCNA CCIE MCP MCSA A+ LCP RHCE CCSE CCEA Network+ Security+ CUE CISA CCP CLP MCSE CNE ...Should get me to the shortlist for pretty much EVERY job! I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet.
[03:00] I've turned the lights out...
...but I'll leave a candle on the windowsill.
I didn't feel like sleeping last night so I stayed up and got the new blog off the ground. It's butt-ugly at the moment (lets face it, so is this one) but functional (enough) so all new posts will be over there from now on. I've downloaded an XML feed of everything from this blog and it will magically reappear as soon as I write a script to blosxomify it.
Pertinent details: The new blog is back at the old address: blog.kynan.org, assuming I manage to avoid bollocksing it up somehow - I'm still covered in tomato from my last little adventure (although Andrew assures me it was all self-inflicted pain and, on further investigation, I think he's right).
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the Modblog team for providing me with a more than adequate service considering I paid £0 for it (that's approximately $A14.27). I'm leaving because I prefer the level of control one has hosting ones-self and the little quirks associated with being hosted here (the odd RSS feed, the dissapearing 's, the intermittent blackouts) can be more than a little annoying at times :)
I AM going to miss the ability to post via the web but I've started working on a python based cgi system for adding/modifying blog posts via HTTP - if it works I'll post it somewhere. I'm sure someones done this already but it wasn't the top hit when I very briefly looked last night so I've started and damned if I'm stopping now!
...and like that he was gone....
