Social updates, or why this site exists and how it works
This site is dedicated to social-media-style updates. For longer pieces, see my main blog. In this microblog, I am using the Twitter API via a command-line script written in Ruby to feed this site and my Twitter and Mastodon accounts.
No databases were harmed in the making of this web site
You're seeing this blog, powered by Ode, through the magic of the Perl programming language and the Common Gateway Interface. Also involved: the Apache web server and Linux operating system.
Ode does not use a database to store content. Instead, every entry exists on the web server as a "flat" text file.
Counter: Thanks to Rob Reed for the Ode system that runs this blog as well as his help on the Counter addin that provides the post-count feature seen above.
