I treated myself to a Ghillie Kettle (similar to a Kelly Kettle, but with a whistle) for Christmas gone from a group buy on Bushcraft UK. I’ve been meaning to write a post about it since, but Ben has saved me the trouble with his post.
Great pieces of kit.
The title of this post is based on the fact that I managed to dump the whole of the Rage Against The Machine
I thought I’d give a little update on my running progress.
(more…)
Quite a long time ago I took over stewardship of Linkpot from Ben Thorp, with a whole bunch of ideas of stuff I wanted to add to it. Initially though I just got it working again (on Django 1.0) and moved to my hosting.
Today I finally got around to finishing the first batch of changes: namely Django 1.0.2 and moving from using a text file based word list to a database (which was already used for storing the URLs). This improves performance and opens up the possibility for a whole other bunch of enhancements (including using your own words).
At the same time I added some improved error handling & error messages, and the ability to ’shortcut’ previewing a link by suffixing a hyphen (-) to the word e.g. http://linkpot.net/recursive-.
If you use Linkpot, please go kick the tyres and let me know if you find any problems. If you don’t, why don’t you?
