superduper.net : Sam's blog

I just wrote a little plugin for pyblosxom called permadate. Its based on a plugin I found called rememberdate that didn't work at all and was very broken. All this plugin does is maintain a single file which caches the timestamps of all blog entries. Once a blog entry is in the cache you can update the files timestamp without it being reflected in your blog. The method I use one accessed the file once at startup and occasionally (when it sees a new blog entry) once at shutdown.

Next I'm planning a serious plugin to display photo galleries, based on my existing gallery but in the style of pyblosxom. I'm going to make it very simple for users to add entire tree's of images to their gallery just by putting them in the gallery folder. The same way pyblosxom works for blog entries. Comments and hitcounts will be maintained in a separate but parallel tree do the users images need to be apache-writable.
