Petr Cimprich : XML::Directory.pm 0.95

I mention this because I chipped in and submitted the order_by method which allows you specify the order in which the contents of a directory are returned. Previously, it would always return directories first, then files. Now you can order results by file-directory or alphabetically. The package has also been back-ported to 5.005_03 so you won't need to be running 5.6 to make use of the SAX2 widgets. In other news, I've written a SAX2 filter for pruning the results returned by the parse_dir method which I will try and upload to the CPAN today or tomorrow.

Movable Crankypants : The Unbearbable Decentralization of Donuts

It's been a very long time since I've lifted the hood in Movable Type so I'm not quite sure where this would need to go. But, if you're running OS X, or NT, you can run Apache/MT off of localhost and modify the publish widget to execute the following system command : rsync -v -v -a -r -e -p -g --delete -e ssh $cfg->{mt_home} $cfg->{remote_login}:$cfg->{remote_path} While not exactly "upstreaming", the effect is the same and has the added advantage of not sending your password in cleartext. In fairness, this scenario breaks if you don't have a shell login. I thought that there were hooks for doing uploads via Net::(FTP|SCP) but apparently not. Okay, so instead of executing rsync, the next best thing would be modify the publish hooks to publish to a copy of MT running on the remote server via the XML-RPC interface. An interesting project for the stack. An off-shoot of that would be to set up an interface to automagically slurp any changes from the remote server when you log in from your home/private machine. Which would allow you to continue to update your weblog from the laundromat; you know, if you're into that kind of thing. Meanwhile, MT 2.1 has been released and supports the metaWeblog API. I will update Blogger.pm accordingly. Here's me, digressing...

I was telling Michael the other night that I was pretty sure a Toronto-Ottawa series

would be more interesting, but that it put me in the uncomfortable position of having the root for the Loafs. (I turned the TV off and decided to let the Universe choose it's course without my help.) Really, it's just because I enjoy watching the squabbling that ensues every year when both teams face each other in the playoffs.
