Adventures as Me

After a long hiatis, a cross-country move and many other events, I decided two things:

• I could no longer be involved in a group development environment, as my schedule is to sporadic; this means I no longer am one of bBlog's developers
• To keep my PHP skills honed, I'm developing a 'private' version of bBlog, which I call PowerBlog (because my last name is Power).

  What have I accomplished so far? Well, only 2 hours of work :) seriously, the following changes:

  Archive Admin The Interface for Archive administration is a bit more powerful. Each article in the list is a two-line entry, rather than the one line in current bBlog (0.7.6). The second line contains admin functionality for the article. Currently you can toggle the Comments allow/disallow for an article.

  Comments Admin The number of select lists needed to filter comments are reduced to two: amount and specific articles.

  Future

  For the future, my plans are:

[list]
• Make it easy to place the application data outside the document root
• Migrate to ADODB for the DB layer
• Simplify the bBlog class
• Reduce/remove redundancy
• Strengthen comment/trackback handling
• ..whatever else comes to mind
