This site now has trackback implemented via a mysql
database keeping state on whether trackback ping was successful and a
background process performing pings. It is used here both as a way of
citing references and hooking into prominent discussion. The
actual site postings are not submitted via a web interface, but rather
imported from text files which are edited with a user-friendly text
editor — the best way I like to edit text. Also, the article URLs
are textual not numerical and have no date component to them. There
is no idea of a separate “permalink” or “/archive” URL for a posting.
This naming convention appears cleaner to me.
I beg that this is not reinvention for the arrogance of ‘not
invented here’, but rather as a learning experience.
