Since moving this blog to SliceHost the page load time has dropped from over a second to 100-200ms. Sweet. I don't even have the cache turned on anymore.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function graceful_fail() in

It was probably funnier when it came up in the page.

The new Wordpress is good. Faster I reckon.

I've installed Wordpress MU on my happy little server. So if any of those footboot.net folks languishing on Movable Type want to move their blogs you should let me know. If you want some theme it's easy to throw it in there too. There are heaps of good themes for Wordpress.

I've found an easier way to rewrite Wordpress URLs than attempt to recreate all of the crazy combinations.

url.rewrite-once = ( "^([^.]+)$" => "index.php$1" )

It basically rewrites anything that doesn't have a full-stop in it. So if you use it, make sure all your images and stylesheets have file extensions.

This is a complete ripoff of tijs's plugin, but I've replaced the CURL library with the fopen URL wrapper. So it should work with pretty much any PHP install. Of course, it is now marginally less good.

Now I'm really going to go study. Or maybe have breakfast. But after that I'll definitely go study.

Update: I installed CURL and now I'm using Tijs's original. fsockopen() and the HTTP wrappers in PHP suck too bad.

Update 2: Now I'm using Yahoo Pipes to get it as plain RSS.
