web crap
I want to write more on nilretain.org, but I still haven't found a piece of software that does quite what I want. Of course, I'm picky. I refuse to install crappy MySQL; it has to use PostgreSQL or SQLite. I want something with the categorization of Blosxom, and the ease of managment and features of wordpress.
I know there's a wordpress-pg port, but it seems like a hack that hasn't been updated. Why are all web developers idiots that don't understand simple design patterns, like abstracting out your data layer, so it's not tied to one DB? Looks like it's back to that old "goddamn, I'll do it myself" developer mentality. Another project for the pile that'll never get done.
