hack it up

So, it finally got myself a blog.

I was updating Power Tools on a new box that I'm slowly setting up, and I noticed that the guys from Ensim Corp had added a this blogware, b2, into their easy click-n-install interface. After playing around with the stuff for a while I found myself laughing. As usual they had been smoking crack while selecting products. Not only is an old version of phpList which have a widely spread security hole, b2 isn't even developed anymore.

Anyways, I found b2 to be rather nice: it's not bloated with functions that I don't need and that will cause problems in the future, the template system is built with raw php files and it should be quite easy to add whatever functionality i desire. So I'm keeping it.

Some php hacking, CSS tweaking and mod_rewrite rules later this is it: a
somewhat ugly but cute blog that got the functions and basic looks that I want.

Now lets see if google will pick it up, I'm not going to announce this
installation in any way :)
