So, I finally rewrote ~/bin/blog, which all my daniel@triplehelix.org email gets forwarded to, and made it work properly. If the GnuPG signature isn't there, or doesn't verify, it kicks it to the curb, and only works if there's a proper signature (don't laugh - it used to end up creating an empty file). It's also a hell of a lot nicer - I wrote a small GnuPG interface (needed to specify --keyring), as Mail::GnuPG didn't work. It also defangs the MIME nicely (no more errant =3D's), and is generally far better. I'm going to clean it up and post it on my Pyblosxom hacks section later on (which already has my propagation script). It's also about half the size of the old one, in addition to sucking far less, and being more flexible, and not requiring any external scripts, and using less tempfiles. Yay!

Step 1: Get Pyblosxom.
Step 2: Install (this is non-trivial).
Step 3: Grab the files from my site and dump them in your root entries directory. Modify them to taste.

Wham! You now have an outgoing RSS feed (http://yoururl/to/blog?flav=rss), complete with descriptions and dates. What's not to love?

While I was stuffing around with moving to Pyblosxom 0.8.1, I *badly* screwed up the dates on all my entries; half of them were dated in July 2004 and such. I'm going to slowly restore them all from my +sent folder and LJ (which have the dates of propagation), but blah, I can't be stuffed for now. I also need a new site layout. HTML and CSS wizardry (or not) ahoy!
