"We come to an impasse"
6/04/2002

Well now, good news and bad news, least for me.

Good news, I have the other journal software working.
Bad news, the greymatter program that would have imported this journal to that one isn't working.

So, I come to a crossroad. Keep using greymatter, use the other one and try to keep it linked to this one, or ditch this one altogether.

The problem with greymatter, or any perl-based journal software, is that it creates static files. For very small journals, this is fine. But if you post one or more times a day, those files can, and will, add up. And in the case of greymatter, it generates two files, one for the program to read, the other being the html file itself. And it does this for every single entry, even oens that have only one line in it.

Not sure. I see headaches in my future if I try to link the old and new journals correctly, but I don't really want to ditch this one altogether. As much as I'd love to continue using greymatter, there is the space limitation to consider, and I believe my journal is already over a meg and approaching two.

I guess all I can do is try to link to the archives. I'll finish working on the template, skins, and layout in the other first. I still have to redesign the entry pages one last time, then just keep the old archive in a separate folder...

I'm getting a headache just thinking about it.

BTW, does anyone cook? Do they try new recipes? I have so many recipes just floating around that could be useful, but I don't know people who cook... ah well.



 Comments: 1 sigh



I cook! I cook and I bake. A lot.

My family loves getting hooked on new dishes, and I really enjoy experimenting and branching out and trying new recipes.
