Month: <span>March 2000</span>

Before bed: I started a Manila site to keep track of ToDo’s for myself. I’m populating the homepage with things that I want to bring up at the Userland offsite tomorrow. I bet Brent‘s list is bigger.;): Smile!

I just finished a cool hack! I’ve got Pike uploading folders of images to a Manila site, automatically creating shortcuts and links in my outline as it goes. It’s not the fastest thing in the world because it has to make four RPC calls for each image, but it works. If I had access to the server side of the RPC interface on EditThisPage, then I could get it down to one call. There’s also only minimal error handling- whatever. It’s a hack afterall. It only took me 3.5 hrs! That says something about either my skill and knowledge;): Smile! or about how slick XML-RPC and Manila really are.

I’m editing this page in Pike. I had a problem though: I set up Jeremy Bowers’ Manila Express for Netscape on IE5 for my Mac. I used it to create the link below about theft of Gates’ identity. But when I hit the Pike button later on, that text wasn’t in the page. I have no idea why. The same thing happens when I edit in the browser first. Hmmm.

Pike is going to be great for maintaining Jahoo!. The template on that site is way too big and complex to edit in a browser. Maybe I’ll start doing updates again.;): Smile!

Yesterday was Manila Palooza!

My DSL line is happy again. It started working again sometime late this afternoon, and it’s been up since. Yay!;): Smile!

I’m way psyched about tomorrow! It’s going to be fun! Not to mention that I’ll get to meet Brent and for the first time.

I completed the docs for Mac Publishing’s Frontier-based online production system last night. Guess what- it’s a Manila website running on their intranet! They’re going to buy TeamSite from Interwoven, primarily because I’m leaving for Userland. Aah the irony!

My PacBell DSL was up for a few hours this morning, but it’s down again. I’m writing this from my desk at work on my last day of employment at Mac Publishing. Tasks for the day include cleaning personal stuff of my hard disk, moving some work I’ve been doing onto a server that others can access (though they probably won’t), and packing personal items into a box. Guess that means I have to find a box.

We’re about to go out for a goodbye lunch for Jason Warner and myself. He’s an online production guy whose last day is also today. Steaks- yum!

I forgot my camera at home. Damn!
