I’m trying out “Kung-Log“, a Macintosh program that lets you codify things like

At My Most Beautiful (Live On Radio 1) from the album “Monitor This! (Fall 1999)” by R.E.M.

It uses XML::RPC to communicate with Movable Type.

So, this is sort of a test…

Looked again in the usual places–jobs.triangle.com, SAS, everybody–for jobs, but there wasn’t anything new (that didn’t require 5 years of experience).

It typically takes me about an hour to check all the sites.

Here’s a hack:

#!perl -n
if ( /title="(.*?)" .* htmlUrl="(.*?)"/ ) {
  print qq{<a href="$2">$1</a><br />n};
}

This takes my NetNewsWire exported RSS list and converts it into an anchor list.

Limitations: you’ll get some weird results if your title or URL has a quote in it.

Although robot ladybug has a blogging system, I now realize how totally inadequate it is–thanks to the people who’ve spent time making a commercial program like the one I’m using now: Movable Type. Maybe there’s a reason it’s always top blog in blogshares.

I’m running it on top of HTML::Mason, which I’m not happy about, but I don’t know how to modify Apache’s

<LocationMatch ".html$">
  ...
</LocationMatch>

so that it doesn’t get the stuff in /blog/ .

Now, on to writing…
