Jim's Depository

I’ve added a few features today.

• There is now a ‘recent comments’ link under Contribute. It also has its own RSS feed, so I can watch for comments should the comment spammers get through.
• Articles now have URLs constructed from their titles. I feel I could do better at this. I need to read some papers on automated abbreviators.
• I fixed a nasty little problem where a sqlite3 “insert or replace” was whacking my password. Turns out that deletes the whole row on a replace, so you better be specifying all the field values.

And now 4 days later.

• I now log much of the POST methods into my database. There is a distributed botnet trying to leave a comment on one article in this blog. I’m curious what they wish to say. I’d hate to miss out on a first contact situation.
• Found a couple URLs that were missing their “.php”.  Apache was ok with this, lighttpd is not.
