The Internet Topic Exchange
Regardless of their actual intent, it sounds enough like this to warm my heart and I've already sent the developer a note about details for writing a Net::ITE Perl module. Meanwhile, speaking of categories, I accidentally lay waste to the entire Aaronland categorization system the other day which is why they've suddenly vanished. I have a backup so they'll be back when I finish rewriting the current codebase to use Class::DBI and start writing everything as static files again. Ultimately, the plan is to effectively blur the lines between data-store of my weblog(s), addressbook, email archive and if I'm ever brave enough to tackle recurring dates a calendar. The relationships are easy enough but the permissions stuff (do any RDBMS have row level grant permissions?) still has me scratching my head. So, I guess I'll just clean up what I've got now and slowly build on that with an eye towards the warm fuzziness.This is the first public implementation of the Ridiculously Easy Group Forming concept. It's a central server to host TrackBack-powered channels. It's designed to let anyone effortlessly create a channel to archive pointers to information on a given topic.
