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. I am using the Twitter API via a command-line script written in Ruby to feed both this site and my Twitter account.

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 his help on the Counter addin, which provides the post-count feature seen above.

Who am I

and why am I here?

My name is Steven Rosenberg. Journalist. Programmer. Husband. Father. Fixer of the broken. Currently exploring Ruby, JavaScript, Java, Racket and Clojure (yes, I need to whittle that down). Plus enough Perl to make this site run.
