All I think about at work is disk I/O. That’s an overstatement but the point is to motivate my late night and early morning batch of small changes to Bashpress.
First up, I made the homepage a 302 redirect to the most recent month’s posts. It has long bothered me that blogs are singluarly obsessed with permalinks and yet will place rotating content on the homepage without a second thought.
Second and equally inconsequential is that I added a flag to Bashpress to globally enable or disable comments, which I’ve disabled. Al3x’s reasoning sits well with me but for someone without his noteriety, I need a crutch. delicious.js pulls in every save and note from del.icio.us for the post, at least giving folks willing to dive deeper a map of sorts. It isn’t perfect but hopefully I can work out trackbacks or something to complete the puzzle.
Small pieces loosely joined, etc.
