No News For Saint Patty's

I looked over my normal news sources, but nothing grabbed me and said, "Post me!"

Spending lots of time reading the Programming Ruby, even bought the second edition as a PDF.

Also working on my S3 code. Should manage to get some image files up today to test whether they still work correctly without Apache-provided MIME types. Probably will. Then I just need to walk my 911 Timeline page and upload it to S3.

Puppy Linux continues to satisfy. Installed GNU Privacy Assistant (gpa) today. It's a GUI frontend for gnupg, the freeware implementation of Pretty Good Privacy (PGP). It is unfortunately missing the nice clipboard interface of PGP. It only interacts with files.

911 Timeline Partly Up on S3

Submitted by Bill St. Clair on Fri, 17 Mar 2006 16:16:27 GMT

Well, I wrote code to upload the HTML for a web page and to upload a directory. I put up the index page, and the three main timeline pages, plus all the images that they access. The rest probably won't take very long, though I think I'll have to write some link walking code in order to get all the web pages (they use server-side includes, so I can't just upload the files).

If you're interested, browse on over to s3.amazonaws.com/911timeline/index.html (no link because I don't want the search engines to index it until it's all there). The only links that work at present are Parts 1 & 2, the Day of 9/11, and the Abridged Timeline. There's no default page for a "directory" in S3, so you have to include "index.html".
