Hmmm… I’m not sure whether I like Oracle or not! I’ve spent ages trying to get Oracle CM SDK / Application Server / Database to work together in harmony, and always one bit of the chain doesn’t seem to want to work on various computers! I’m currently installing Oracle database 10g on my machine because…

Well, the menubar on the right hand side is now pretty much working… I think that’s just about everything with the blog, for now! There are some little things (for example, the ‘recent updates’ won’t update itself unless you view the main page), but I don’t think it’s really a big issue. I mean, I…

Firstly, just a quick note about the blog: the blog system itself is virtually finished 🙂 There are still some features that I’d like to add (for example, templates which aren’t coded in PHP), and perhaps some form of administration system (just something to collect all the little bits and pieces together), but apart from…

Well, this site is very nearly past its “test” status… I’ve pretty much finished the blog system for now. It’s got as many features as I want it to have… obviously that’s not a huge number, but still! All I have to do now is the right hand menu bar and the photos section. The…

… takes a long time to install! I’ve been setting up an ‘Oracle CM SDK Domain’ for a while now… I think everything Oracle takes a long time, especially when you’re running on an old Pentium III Xeon (550 MHz). And after this post, things will start becoming archived… Incidentally, if you want a blog…

I’m just adding another blog entry to test the archive functionality. Incidentally, I’ll have to code ‘recent updates’ and ‘archives’ on the right hand side… make them actually work! I don’t know whether I’ll leave these initial posts up here when I actually transfer the blog across… not that it really matters. I just want…

I made a post saying that I’d written an archive system, then I made a post shortly afterwards with the URL… the first post disappeared. That’s strange. I think it’s because the filenames of the XML files I use are based on the time, and the time only has an accuracy down to a minute…

There aren’t any blog archives at the moment, but after a few posts (when there are archives) they’ll be available on this page.

I’ve been working on my new site a bit… I’ve completed the first step of the new blog system: I can now add blog entries and read them on the front page. It looks pretty similar to blogger. Definitely not as many features, but still! I just need to sort out the archiving now (great)……

I’m just testing out a new blog system of mine I’ve written which is based on XML. The only trouble I’ve had with it is, I think Openhosting, my hosts, are using an old version of PHP. This means that I’ve had to change a few things in order for it to work here… it’s…
