Plugins for Blosxom

This page holds plugins that I've written for Blosxom, the software that generates this site.

CoolURI

>

This plugin uses various nasty tricks to get Blosxom to recognise the kind of URIs described in Cool URIs don't change, by Tim Berners-Lee, plus a couple of similar formats. The idea is that these make more permanent permalinks than category-based URIs (which might change if you alter the category scheme). Unfortunately, it only works in dynamic mode at the moment; I have plans for static mode for the next version.

  • Blog Like A Pirate

    >

    Daft plugin I made for International Talk Like A Pirate Day; sprinkles all of your blog stories with Avasts and Shiver-me-timbers and the like. The substitution dictionary is customisable, so you could use it for any stereotypical accent, or as a slightly more interesting expletive censor. It'll also work as a standard Unix filter, so you can integrate it with things other than Blosxom.

    CoolURI 0.2

    >

    I've added a requested feature to the CoolURI Blosxom plugin; it'll now provide default flavours for URIs of the form blosxom.cgi/path/to/entry, where "entry" is an entry as opposed to a category.

    I be due for a keel-hauling

    In honour of International Talk-Like-A-Pirate day, I've knocked together another Blosxom plugin - Blog-Like-A-Pirate. It also works from the command line, in case you're not a Blosxom user. Now there's no excuse for sounding like a scurvy landlubber.

    Cool URIs

    As of this morning, I've officially released my first Blosxom plugin - CoolURI. It allows the use of extension-free, date-based permalinks, like the ones described in "Cool URIs don't change". It's pretty simple, but does the job well enough for now, and means that when something better comes along I won't need to change the URLs again. Which is the entire point.
