The reason why its quiet around here...

Posted on Tuesday, January 12, 2010 @ 16:56 CET

I think the main reason this blog has been kept pretty silent, well apart from not really having time to do it, or the skills to put time aside for it is that its a homebrew thing I wrote many moons back.

Back when I thought doing back-end stuff with Perl was cool and fun (well its still cool I suppose but not as much fun) I figured hey I can write a blog engine and came up with this thing. Which is fine, and its worked pretty much flawlessly since 2004 but there are a few features I really want to have like categories that I really can't be bothered to implement.

Feast your eyes on the suck that is the admin interface:

I built the Flash-based admin interface back in Flash 6 with Remoting pulling data using AMF::Perl which never made it out of alpha. The interface is laughably bad but hey, it worked right? And I was the only one using it. But seeing how much Wordpress kicks its ass its time to give up the fight, pack it up and try to merge my database.

So hopefully I'll find an easy way to do that and get Wordpress on here sometime soon :)
