Finally, after nearly 6 months of trying to decide what to do with my website, I have updated the software again. Not many people will notice or even care, but here's what I did:

• I used the excellent pypress, a pretty solid wordpress clone written in python using the wonderful flask framework.
• I dropped the weird chinese WYSIWYG editor, all the twittery stuff and the ability to upload links. I wrote a new theme, tweaked a couple of the URLs, added a recaptcha to the comments, and generally tweaked the whole thing to my liking. YAY for open source software, especially the stuff written in cool frameworks and fun languages :)
• I may try and set up github to actually fork my changes - maybe somebody else might be interested.
• The look is slightly different from last time, but still grey (what do you expect from a site with silver in its name?)

Have fun, comment and don't spam, please :)

freshen: Behavior Driven Development and testing for python (and django)

Having stumbled upon freshen recently and not finding much about it on the web apart from the (entirely sufficient) documentation, I decided to use my seldom-updated blog to help remedy that situation.

First post!

Finally, after about 10 years, this is the 4th incarnation of my website, and it has a blog now! (It's also editable online, at least for me :). The site is powered by dokuwiki and locked down as mentioned in the CMS pages. I also added the blog plugin and (for prettier syntax) the Creole plugin. Finally, I tweaked the Arctic theme (yay sidebars) to look more silvery and show way less of the wiki behind everything.

Downtime

Leider war meine Webseite schon mehr als einen Monat nicht erreichbar, und dummerweise konnte ich meine Blog-Software auch nicht davon überzeugen, wieder zu funktionieren. Also musste ich mir selber was basteln und habe die alten Daten einfach weiter gerettet. Die Kommentare musste erstmal weglassen, um schnell wieder online zu gehen, der Rest war (dank Python und Flask) nicht so schwer.

Demnächst mach ich die Website nochmal neu, dann vermutlich in node.js... soviel zu hacken, so wenig Zeit :D
