It’s 2 in the morning! Agh! I’m still up at two aye-em! I’ve got to get up at, um, well, ten o’clock, so it’s not actually that bad; I can still get in something like eight hours of sleep.

I’ve been doing codey things. I’ve written a perl script that’ll run through all the old entries in my weblog, which is currently set up as one big folder containing one text file for each day, each file containing multiple entries, and turn it into one folder for each year, with one sub-folder for each month, each containing one file for each entry. This should enable me to do a few useful things:

• Make my permalinks shorter. (I’ll be able to make the old permalink URLs still work, but my solution is a tad kludgey.)
• Let me publish an RSS feed. (Oh, that reminds me, I’ll have to run through changing all the <br> tags to proper XML <br />. Not a problem; BBEdit can handle that easily.)

This journal is already available as an RSS feed, as are all LiveJournals. Just add /rss to the end of the URL for the journal, like so:

http://www.livejournal.com/users/agrumer/rss

I’ve already written a perl script to aggregate my LiveJournal and display the last ten entries as linked titles in the sidebar of my blog, but actually using it will have to wait till I move to Blogomania, since I don’t have cron access at Panix, and what’s the point if the thing isn’t going to be running automatically?
