Some changes made

As you can see, the design has changed.

You might also have noticed that pages are served somewhat more slowly than before, which is due to this weblog not being statically served anymore. Starting today, it’s powered by a server-side script (written in Python; I still call this weblog “Burger powered”).

The reason I’m switching to a server-powered weblog is that I want to have comments. I don’t know when I’ll have time to implement it, though, but I’m working on it. There are also other things I want to be able to do, dynamically.

I’m running the script locally on my PowerBook as well, which means I can reload as I type, to see what the text looks like before updating the server. That’s something I have missed.

My two RSS feeds are replaced with a 2.0 feed, available via the URL http://tesugen.com/feed. The RDF feed I had was insanely overweight, so I have wasted a lot of bandwidth. Sorry for that.

I’ve changed the URI scheme according to the ideas of Matthew Thomas—that is, they are free from cruft (such as ”.html”) and I no longer use in-page anchors. For instance, the permalink for this post is …/2003/08/07/siteupdate; all posts from today are available via …/2003/08/07; this month’s posts via …/2003/08—and you can even get a page with all this year’s posts via …/2003, if you’d want that.

I would appreciate any feedback you might have. And I’m sorry if you experienced troubles today when I migrated to the new system.
