Trackbacks enabled for blojsom 1.6

Well, time to put the money where the mouth is and enable trackbacks on this blog.

You'll notice a trackback link shows up on the entry listing page which will take you to the page that lists the trackbacks for that entry. It also gives the trackback URL that you'll need to use if you want to trackback to that entry. As the Movable Type Trackback specification dictates, "url" is the only required parameter and that's the same with the blojsom implementation of trackbacks.

Enjoy! /images/emoticons/mozilla_laughing.gif

Oh, and blojsom 1.6 will be available shortly. I really just need to finish up documentation, but any code changes are finished.

Well actually, the Simpsons did it first

Googling for "blojsom" brought up this item from the folks over at SnipSnap.
    "After the blojsom guys did it, I took a look at their code (struct) and now SnipSnap supports posting via MetaWeblog API (tested with NetNewsWire)."
Hey, it's open source. Enjoy!

A little bit of blojsom happy this AM!

Well, it's always nice to get compliments on your work, so I was particularly happy to get a note (snippet below) this AM regarding blojsom.
    "Just a quick ping to say "great work!" on blojsom. I downloaded it and had it running (under Jetty/JBoss) in a matter of minutes. And I'm really impressed with how simple it is to use and configure. Working off the file system is extremely straight-forward."
Oh, and thinblog works like a champ with blojsom. If you're looking for a barebones way to edit your blog (and no, it need not be blojsom /images/emoticons/mozilla_wink.gif), then thinblog may be for you.

blojsom trackback support

As with a lot of the things I think will take a long time to develop, trackback support for blojsom is almost finished. For now, it's time for bed. Tomorrow, it gets wired in and I'll test it out.

Update: And so, trackback support has been committed to CVS. Yet, it's off to bed again and I'll update the site at some point to enable trackback support.

blojsom RSS feeds on SourceForge

Apparently, SourceForge has started providing RSS feeds for project information. Maybe this is old news, maybe this is new news, but I just saw the link for blojsom project RSS feeds this morning.

Look to the CLASSPATH!

From a post on a Java forum:
    i have a jdbc-driver jar-file that is used to connect to a database. the file is not into the classpath, i load(new Instance()) the main class of the driver with the classLoader from the jar-file. the driver use resourceBundle-files for the strings. but he cannot find the .properties files where the strings are saved:

But ... does your blog software have an emoticons plugin?

Thanks to the wonderful folks over at Jive Software and their emoticons image pack, with a little programming I whipped up an emoticons plugin for blojsom. And here we have it. Gotta love it. Although, I seriously doubt that I'll be able to remember anything but the "standard" emoticons, but here they all are.

blojsom 1.5 released

And so, another day and another release of blojsom. Late last night I made the blojsom 1.5 (Codename: Hangar One) release available on SourceForge. This time around the two biggest features are:
  • Support for comments
  • XML-RPC support for the MetaWeblog API
And yes, we're already thinking and working on blojsom 1.6 (Codename: Stoli). Trackbacks, LiveJournal API support, Blogger 2.0 API support are likely candidates for inclusion in the codebase. I'm sure there will be a new plugin or two.

blojsom, blog software, and database-backed web applications

There are many reasons why blojsom will never ever be backed by a database. I list a few of those reasons here because in the past few days and just reading through different blogs, it seems that performance and stability of databased-backed web applications (namely blog software) had come under some scrutiny.
  • blojsom takes a different architectural approach in that it uses the filesystem as its content database. This was part of the original zen and philosophy of blosxom on which blojsom is based.
  • A blog entry from Russell where he says, "Anyone who's seen the MiniBlog code knows that it's a mess - a zillion MySQL queries, no connection pooling etc. This actually, hasn't been a problem. Until now."
  • A recent entry from JavaBlogs, Who ate the threads? where I picked up on two different quotes ... "I tried the kill -QUIT trick on FreeRoller this afternoon after it locked up. Looking at the stack traces for Tomcat's 75 threads, I found that most were either waiting for database connections or involved reading cache entries from the disk." ... more entry ... "Those changes kept FreeRoller up for a much longer period of time, but did not fix the problem."
  • There would not be enough hours in the day to justify why I chose Hibernate over Castor JDO or why I didn't just use Prevalayer
Again, for me personally, I have a different opinion, architecturally speaking, of how and where blojsom is going to get its content. It just seems that in the database-backed cases, a key piece of the architecture on which the software runs, has not been given the TLC it so rightly deserves.

blojsom now supporting a subset of the metaWeblog API

Well, Mark informs me that he's checked metaWeblog API support into CVS. This is "a good thing". That brings us to Blogger and metaWeblog support for blojsom. Later this week we'll make the blojsom 1.5 release official.

Aurora #802, Java 1.4.1 (DP10), OSX

It seems that the latest EAP from IntelliJ "plays well with others". Namely, it works in my environment: Java 1.4.1 /images/emoticons/mozilla_laughing.gifP10) and OSX. DP10 is the patched version to enable the code completion, but things seem to be happy happy, joy joy.

blojsom now supports enabling and disabling comments on individual entries

Simply put, if comments are enabled on your blojsom blog and you don't want people to be able to comment on an entry, make it read-only. Bickety bam! No comments /images/emoticons/mozilla_laughing.gif

You'll also notice that the comments form requires you to enter an author name and a comment.

Comments now operable in blojsom (and on this site)

I've updated the site with the blojsom 1.5 dev release. As you'll notice, comments are now enabled and working. God help me now that people can chime in on my rants /images/emoticons/mozilla_laughing.gif

Back to my iPod and back to your regularly scheduled blogging.
