Das eez kaput! Sometime around 2002 I spaced the entire database table that mapped individual entries to categories. Such is life. What follows is a random sampling of entries that were associated with the category. Over time, the entries will be updated and then it will be even more confusing. Wander around, though, it's still a fun way to find stuff.
A "trailing slash" redirect is issued when the server receives a request for a URL http://servername/foo/dirname where dirname is a directory. Directories require a trailing slash, so mod_dir issues a redirect to http://servername/foo/dirname/.
Dude, where's my cookie?style messages. Unfortunately, the only thing anyone seems to be saying in response is :
Dude, just delete your cookies!Sure, thanks Wonder Bread. Anyway, eventually it dawned on me to actually look at the cookie and I discovered that the
Path
field contains a fully formed URI. Which explains why the cookies are failing but not why they're being set incorrectly. Line 374 of MT::App.pm reads :
if ($path =~ m!^https?://[^/]+(/.*)$!i) {where $1 (the first set of matching brackets : that would be everything after the first forward slash following the standard URI
[insert protocol here]://
stuff) is assigned as your cookie's
Path
. Which means that unless your Movable Type
CGIPath
config variable contains a trailing slash, the program will seriously bork your cookies. DWIM-ing and user-centric idiot-proofing aside, I am inclined to think that this is a documentation bug rather than a problem with the code. Apache happens to do
"trailing slash" redirectsout of the box which is nice but probably not reason enough to expect every other web programmer to do the same thing. Now you know.

...or just that there are separate hosts for the posting interface and the static files. I'm not sure how they'll cope with the volume if they have to start a copy of the Perl interpreter every single time some one wants to post something, never mind stuff like uploading and scaling images.
permalink? No one remembers the creation of the permalink because it's so shockingly obvious. Not in a "change the world" kind of way but rather in a "why are we having this conversation?" kind of way. The only thing that distinguishes a permalink from our old friend the HTML anchor (aside from the fact that the latter has been deprecated) is that often the software powering the former allows a single item to be rendered independent of it's surrounding posts. What with support for bells and whistles like XInclude, XPath and XSLT being included in client-side browsers even the rule that it's a (blog) tool-thing no longer holds. Meanwhile, this is the part where the Semantic Web freaks start getting excited so I will, posthaste, take my leave...

After starting the implementation I was pointed to an already existing implementation, but this was basically a wrapper to the dict client program and didn't have all the features I wanted and have now been implemented in this dictionary client.

[W]ho in the hell does the word of the day??? agitprop??? gah!And while I confess to not being entirely sure what she's talking about it did remind me that I had written a whole whack of code for munging the data files at pseudodictionary.com . Since then, however, they've rejigged their back-end but with a little help from the mighty mighty HTML::Parser I was able to whip up a package that exports a single class method named
random
which returns a hash reference :

Text::Outline
module so you can feed any old outline document and have exciting, foofy renderings complete with breadcrumbs and unique web "pages" for each node. The example linked to here was created with a very simple Perl script (included with the package) that slurps a variety of RSS feeds and generates an XBEL document. It would be trivial to turn the script into a mod_perl handler itself and have it
filter
the results to Apache::XBEL and, lo, YA-aggregator is born! Or you could just use your
