My Diary Explodes With Delight

It is with some hesitation and trepidation that I am pleased to announce that I have moved my diary across to a MySQL back-end.

Yes, until today my diary has been running out of a flat text file. A 500 KB pipe separated text file no less. Oh the shame.

Well, this site has been running on the same code I wrote back in 2000 before I had access to MySQL, and since then it has waited patiently for me to finish my CMS. But that's still months away, so I rewrote it all this evening.

While I was at it, I figured it was about time I had an RSS 1.0 feed, and you can find that at http://radiac.net/diary/rss. This is my first live RSS feed, so although it should be fine, if I've done something wrong do say. It is a partial feed, no HTML, first three sentences only - my thinking is that'll be enough of a taster, but you'll still have to come here to see it. Is that so wrong? Let me know.

I also took the opportunity to add friendly URLs; /diary/archive/YYYY/MM works, but only for browsing months - individual entries are currently at /diary/id/NN, although I might add YYYY/MM/XX support later. There's also a shortcut for the latest comments (/diary/comments).

Now you can't complain! Well, you can, the content's not improved yet :)
