Hangout for experimental confirmation and demonstration of software, computing, and networking. The exercises don't always work out. The professor is a bumbler and the laboratory assistant is a skanky dufus.

Tweaking, Tweaking, Tweaking, Roll-on ...

This is a brief post to tweak my technorati blog claim.  I made similar adjustments to the companion Orcmid’s Lair and Numbering Peano sites.

The post is to cause the adjusted template to be used in updating of the main page and, from now on, individual-article and archive pages.

Because I don’t republish previous pages except for comments and content updates, there are still many technorati tags that involve the now-unclaimed technorati locations.

It may be that technorati is smart enough to find the right places.  On the other hand, this is an opportunity to do something that I always wanted to try: hook into the FrontPage extensions on my home-office development server and make content changes by search and replace in the blog-directory HTML files.  I don’t know when I will ever get around to that, so there may be considerable but less-than visible breakage around until I do undertake that.

Meanwhile, there is visible breakage on my sites as a result of moving from Windows-based servers to Apache and going from a case-insensitive web host to a case-sensitive one.  I am slowly getting my head around that, and I have no automatic solution because I have many pages that are cross-linked using different capitalizations, and I will have to think much harder about

• not adding to the grief and cleaning up as I update pages in the normal course of events
    
• finding some scheme for a mass review and identification of pages and links to them that require some link straightening and orthodonture.  Hmm, maybe I should look in Dr. Dobbs?
