Software Repository Up

I finally got a decent set of software pages up at this site. There are still a number of things that I need to do, such as play with the style sheets a little more so it doesn't look so much like Russ's site, possibly flatten the directory structure of the software archives, and set up a subversion repository with everything in it. But at least I've started.

I also started redirecting various things at wipt.org here or back to ACM. I intend to put up a page here at some point simply to document what's there and to state that the project is pretty much dead.

I also need to start thinking about what to do about this blog. I would very much like to purge PHP from my life, but that's easier said than done. Since Dreamhost has FastCGI support, I have been looking at perhaps moving to a Python blog system. I found a list on the Python wiki. Of those, I think that PyBlosxom looks the most promising. It uses flat files for storage, so it would be analogous to the spin software I'm using to build the software repository. My big hurdle would be importing all of my existing posts. I have managed to preserve through two moves all of the blog entries I have ever made, and I don't want to lose that. At the very least, though, I'm going to work harder at organizing the posts on this blog into categories.
