| 2007-02-17 | I am also getting more interested in the Atom format and how it can be used for micro-content and other goodies. [dh:2007-02-19 This is important if I want to do content-management using XML fragments and such. Hold that thought Dennis.] | ||
|
in progress 2010-04-09 |
2004-04-17 | Implement "nofollow" in the bottom blocks here and also in the Blog template. Carry this to the other blogs too. | |
|
in progress 2004-10-03 |
2004-09-29 | Cycle the updates to the Orcmid's Lair template back through the other blogs: Professor von Clueless, Numbering Peano, Spanner Wingnut [dh:2005-04-17 I don't know what this is any more, but I better leave it open.][dh:2004-10-03 This becomes part of the great template unification in any case.] | |

2010-04-28 | Orcmid's Lair: Fix the ClustrMap legend on that template too. | |
|
done 2010-04-30 |
2010-04-28 | Fix the broken </div& or whatever on Orcmid's Lair in the template before a </td> [dh:2010-04-30 Apparently this was not a copy over but something done in the nfoWorks or Wingnut template.] | |
| done | 2010-04-09 | Update hosted site to bring the infrastructure current | |
| done | 2010-04-09 | archive/index.htm make sure is fine for now, and reflected in the blog/index.htm along with 2010/ | |
| done | 2010-04-09 | 2010/index.htm update to be fully repaved for now. | |
|
done 2010-04-09 |

2010-04-06 | index.htm correct for what we have so far | |
|
done 2010-04-07 |
2010-04-04 | index.htm account for the archive pages | |
|
done 2010-04-07 |
2010-04-06 | 2010/index.htm create in the repaved style | |
|
done 2010-04-07 |
2010-04-06 | Delete the archive pages from blog/, from OrcmidCompagno VSS, from A2 Hosting Web VSS, from Compagno /publicca, and from the A2 Hosting site. | |
| done | 2010-04-07 | archive/index.htm create in the repaved style | |
|
done 2010-04-06 |
2006-04-23 | Split off the completed items before 2006 into an archive page just to simplify maintenance and review. [dh:2010-04-06 This became unnecessary as the result of reorganization of archive pages into their own subfolder and the cessation of Blogger creation of the archive list in a separate page sometime in 2007.] | |
|
done 2010-04-06 |
2006-04-23 | Set up a lockdown procedure for older sections and look at moving the old archive pages somewhere. Or move the new archive pages and worry about what to do with the old ones. But do something. This is a lot of clutter and bother. [dh:2010-04-06 The move removed the clutter problem and isolated the blogger-developed content. When the FTP service goes away, I will also close the account that I used for that, using a different account for the replacement blogging engine.] | |
|
done 2010-04-06 |
2004-05-11 | Build a new lair-chive index page that has the locked-down portion be permanent and for which Blogger only adds the new still-regeneratable archives. [dh:2010-04-06 Since I am going to retire use of blogger, this never-taken step won't be needed. I have solved the lair-chive index page problem by using a pull-down archive control on the blog sidebar. Meanwhile, lair-chive.asp is dong fine. Blogger stopped using it a while back, and its template is now useless too. So the problem both went away and is being side-stepped. | |
|
done 2010-04-06 |
2010-04-04 | If the now-generated archive-page roll-down links to the archive folder, move the archive materials and see what that breaks. [dh:2010-04-06 I could not just move the files on the development server while they were shared differently on the hosted-site image in VSS also. Once I branched moved, and reshared, it all worked great. The archive pages generally just work and page that catalogs archive links was updated to point to the new locations. Any breakage will be in absolute URLs that refer (in)to the old locations of the archive pages. I'm going to chance it, since posts have had their own locations since some time in 2004. | |
|
done 2010-04-06 |
2004-11-25 | On roll-over to 2005, freeze the archives, capturing them on the archive page and its template. Then start a new archive series in the 2005/ folder instead of the top level. [dh:2010-04-04 This is accomplished by creating an archive/ folder and moving all of the archive there there for continued support by Blogger. This is now separate from when Blogger is shut off and the Blogger-created material locked down.] | |
|
done 2010-04-05 |
2010-04-04 | archive/ establish using Blogger and see what happens with regard to being able to populate archive pages anywhere. Start with getting blogger to start putting archive pages in the folder. Then see what happens for the old archive pages (or not). [dh:2010-04-04 and it worked great. Only the newest archive page was created in the new folder but the archive list pull-down listed them all as if they were there. This gave me the opening I needed for the next step: moving the archive pages at blog/ to blog/archive/ and seeing if they worked from there.] | |
|
done 2010-04-05 |
2010-04-04 | Bring labels section current and backed-up | |

|
done 2010-04-05 |
2010-04-04 | Create and backup 2010 under a repaved structure | |
|
done 2010-04-05 |
2010-04-04 | Bring images section current and backed-up with backup modifed to keep a Zip of the complete images folder with no attempt to check-in the individual image subfolders and their contents. | |
| done | 2010-04-04 | c000000 Clean up for the repaved structure and start tracking the repaving of this section | |
| done | 2010-04-04 | construction.htm Update to the repaved structure | |
|
done 2010-04-04 |
2004-09-02 | Update the Construction Zone page to provide a narrative of what is where and what its function is, in terms of the directory tree. | |
| done | 2010-04-04 | index.htm Repave for Construction Structure propagation throughout the blog section. Provide top level placeholders for links to subordinate material. | |
| done | 2007-02-19 | Add index pages for the new folders created as part of the last backup: 2006/11, 2006/12, 2007, 2007/01, 2007/02 and anticipate 2007/03. | |
| done | 2007-02-17 | Figure out why BlogJet can't get through and see what I need to do about that. Maybe buy a new copy. I also want to try LiveWriter at some point. [dh:2007-02-19 I did update to BlogJet 2.0 and it now works properly in IE 7.0 so that's nice. I also found out that the correct URL for the API to "new Blogger" is http://www2.blogger.com/api and not the old one.] | |
| done | 2007-02-17 | Replace the template again to use the exact 150 by 91 dimensions of OrcmidsLair-thumb.gif and avoid resampling there too (once I figured out why the latest blog page doesn't look as good as these web pages). | |
| done | 2007-02-17 | Instead of having the browser resample the OrcmidsLair-logo.gif versions to the 172 by 107 that is displayed, make new versions of the logo.gif file that have exactly those dimensions. | |
| done | 2007-02-16 | Make duplicate versions of the logo from the same original as the current OrcmidsLair-thumb.gif (as on this page) for reference from old blog pages that have a logo: OrcmidsLair-logo.gif and orcmidslair-logo.gif | |
| done | 2007-02-16 | Change to "New Blogger" and see that all posts are preserved all right | |
| done | 2007-02-16 | Make a version of the template that uses the new OrcmidsLair-thumb.gif for the logo on blog pages. | |
| done | 2006-04-23 | Create folders through 2006-05 and then backup what is new for all recent posts. | |
| done | 2006-04-23 | Customize the index pages from 2006-02 back through 2005-10 to be correct. | |
| done | 2004-10-06 | Alter the shading behind the logo block to see if I can make sharper. Try column color and then try white. [white works, and we raised the links on the right side to the middle of the title bar] | |
|
done 2004-10-02 |
2004-09-29 | Add privacy and status links to the template. [dh:2004-10-02 Posted "Space-Age Meter Reader" to verify the update.] | |
| done | 2004-09-29 | Post "Hugging the Monorail" to try out the updated template. | |
| done | 2004-09-29 | Bring the bottom block in from the edges so it isn't quite so startling and lines up with the body more nicely. | |
| done | 2004-09-29 | Correct the history block on the template to identify the template being what the history is about. | |
|
done 2004-09-04 |
2004-09-02 | Prepare the 2004/09 postings folder and prepare to back up the site. | |
| done | 2004-09-02 | Bring features of the von Clueless template over here to the Orcmid's Lair template. I'm thinking of the table properties, the recent articles in the sidebar, and the bottom-strip with the construction history and Hard Hat logo. | |
|
done 2004-09-02 |
2004-08-28 | With a default.asp page in operation, I need to look at how the index.htm page works as a default when the default.asp page is momentarily absent (as when doing a lock-down). [dh:2004-08-30 The index.htm is out-of-date and it is referenced by the Hard Hat logo of the current template, so there is something to do about this. Make it a priority to turn this page into a complete blue flush.] | |
|
done 2004-09-02 |
2004-06-01 | Propogate the simpler heading format, using <p>, through the rest of /blog. (See 2004-05-11 item on this topic.) | |
|
moved 2004-09-02 |
2004-05-16 | Use the catalog [2004-08-28 up in orcmid/BlunderDome now, but it could be on the site too] to create thematic indexes and linkings into archive material for future reference, repurposing, etc. | |
|
abandoned 2004-09-02 |
2004-05-11 | Find out how to lock down or remove from Blogger control all pages and weekly archives prior to 2004-05-02. [dh:2004-05-16 There does not seem to be any way to do that on bCentral. I can't find a way to do file-level permissions. I have backed up all of the pages to Compagno. In addition, Blogger Reloaded does not provide for suspension of any archive. Note: on the individual post items, starting with 2004-05, I can shut off Blogger updating of those subdirectories whenever I want.][dh:2004-09-02 There is no effective way to split the rights of older ones versus newer ones in the same directory, and they can't be moved because we don't know what external links there might be. | |
|
done 2004-08-30 |
2004-08-28 | Retrieve the template for Orcmid's Lair Blog and make sure that it doesn't have any direct links to lair.asp. | |
|
done 2004-08-30 |
2004-08-28 | Make the lair.template a name that FrontPage won't mess with, and then edit it in jEdit or something where it can be kept clean and also validated. [dh:2004-08-28 See the 06-01 note on this topic too.] | |
|
done 2004-08-30 |
2004-08-28 | 15. The titles of entries need to be repaired here, just as they need to be repaired for Numbering Piano. | |
|
done 2004-08-30 |
2004-08-28 | 14. Make new blog/2004/ post message directories and put index.htm pages in them. | |
|
done 2004-08-30 |
2004-06-27 | I know how the blog entry titles got lost when I was mucking around in the template. I should document that and then put the title back in. | |
|
done 2004-08-30 |
2004-06-27 | The Blogger template needs to be backed up, with an accurate backup procedure. [dh:2004-08-28 This needs to be handled all the way around. As we start making modifications to templates, the idea will be to bring a template back from Blogger.com, tuck it away with a file extension that FrontPage won't mess with (but that jEdit will handle), then go from there. I will do that as part of some refreshing here. See 06-01 below] | |
|
done 2004-08-30 |
2004-06-01 | Add something to templates about not editing them in FrontPage, because it loses the Blogger <$ ... $> elements, replacing the brackets by character entities. This is an important matter for templating. | |
|
done 2004-08-29 |
2004-08-28 | Resume posting as appropriate. It will be useful to have Clueless running first, because there are some cross-connects to be engaged. | |
|
done 2004-08-29 |
2004-08-28 | Check off our having cloned the technique from Numbering Peano in miser/astraendo/C000000. | |
|
done 2004-08-29 |
2004-08-28 | 13. Do a backup of the hosted site to the development site on compagno | |
|
done 2004-08-29 |
2004-08-28 | 12. Update the Site Status page to reflect that Orcmid's Lair is operating (or not) and the Live Test is completed. | |
|
done 2004-08-29 |
2004-08-28 | 11. Send the test posting and confirm that everything is working. | |
|
done 2004-08-29 |
2004-08-28 | 10. Generate a test posting. It should be a new all-clear message, just in case earlier ones weren't seen! | |
|
done 2004-08-29 |
2004-08-28 | 9. Enable blogger.com posting to Orcmid's Lair by setting user permissions at nfoCentrale. | |
|
done 2004-08-29 |
2004-08-28 |
8. After the standby message has been fed, update the feed to
include the "all clear" message and update the site so that the standby
message is replaced. a. Update the standby master to the next number (#2) b. Update the all-clear to the next number (#1) c. Post the all-clear to the atom feed. |
|
|
done 2004-08-29 |
2004-08-28 | 7. When the caution message has been there for about 30 minutes, do the slamdown and confirm that it is detected. | |
|
done 2004-08-29 |
2004-08-28 | 6. When we're ready to test the slamdown within an hour of the message, insert the "caution" message into the feed and make corrections needed until it takes. | |
|
done 2004-08-29 |
2004-08-28 | 5.5 Start by confirming that the "all clear" 0 message works, and put out a surprise all-clear feed. This way, we know the ending process works (it just happens that there was no preceding caution message, but now we can always make an all-clear). | |
|
done 2004-08-29 |
2004-08-28 | 5. Create a source for the "all clear" message that can be used in the lair-atom feed. | |
|
done 2004-08-29 |
2004-08-28 | 4. Create a source for the "caution" message that can be used in the lair-atom feed. | |
|
done 2004-08-29 |
2004-08-28 | 3. Create a lair-atom.standby.xml message that can be used to indicate when an incident has been detected and we are in early incident-response state. | |
|
done 2004-08-29 |
2004-08-28 | 2. Test standby, quarantine, and firedrill slamdown and confirm. Leave the firedrill announcement there. It will be removed by successful posting of a new default page from Blogger. | |
|
done 2004-08-29 |
2004-08-28 | 1.3 Make C000011 as holder for the feed testing and slamdown materials | |
|
done 2004-08-29 |
2004-08-28 | Tell Blogger.com to use default.asp page from now on too, with blog URL that goes to the directory. This means the first new posting after we unlock the site will appear on the default page and obliterate any test message, lock-down notice, etc. Dandy. | |
| done | 2004-08-28 | 1.1 Make C000010 as holder for the blog and site slamdown templates. | |
| done | 2004-08-28 | 1. Make default.firedrill.asp, default.quarantine.asp, and default.standby.asp pages for Orcmid's Lair. | |
| done | 2004-08-28 | After the clonings are complete, borrow the check-list from miser/astraendo for turning on Numbering Peano and customize it for operation here. [dh:2004-08-28 See 15 to 1 above.] | |
| done | 2004-08-28 |
Then clone C000010 and C000011 from the construction section
of The Miser Project and customize them in the orcmid/construction
section here. C000010 applies to any pages here, and C000011
applies to orcmid/blog. 1. Share C00010-C00011 files from miser/construction to orcmid/construction. 2. Then branch the top levels but not the images. C000010C1.gif through C000010C4.jpg can stay shared in VSS. 3. Then share all of the C0010-C0011 files from miser/construction on compagno to the image of miser/construction for bCentral. 4. Do a FrontPage Recalculate Hyperlinks in the Compagno development site and work through the checklist to make everything ship-shape (above) to make everything ship-shape. |
|
| done | 2004-08-28 |
Create default.asp for the Orcmid's Lair Blog. Do the
usual way - push-pull, click-click, branching lair.asp to default.asp.
Then set lair.asp to redirect to the directory itself: 1. Branch compagno orcmid/blog/lair.asp in VSS. 2. Rename compagno orcmid/blog/lair.asp to default.asp in FrontPage. 3. Share bCentral orcmid/blog/lair.asp back to compagno orcmid/blog/ in VSS. 4. Edit that compagno orcmid/blog/lair.asp to do a redirect to the root of the blog folder. 5. See how it works. |

2004-05-16 | Correct the Blog job jar to use left justification in the descriptions [dh:2004-08-28 I can't figure out what page is being referred to. This one does not have that problem. Oh, it is the part of B021001 that I moved, maybe? Yup.] | |
| done | 2004-07-15 | Add a lock-down message to the atom feed in the same manner done for the others while the FTP-update troubleshooting problem is being researched. | |
| done | 2004-06-27 | On the compagno/orcmid development site, delete the B000000 and B000001 tombstone pages here. They are in VSS and can be re-shared from the published-site image if needed. Removing them here eliminates a distraction and may have me think they need to be maintained here instead of over in BlunderDome. | |
| done | 2004-06-27 | I have updated the template in Blogger to link to Clueless Castle and also to locate the atom button with an absolute URL. | |
|
done 2004-06-27 |
2004-06-01 | Update the lair.template to carry the links that I added from the pn.template (and adjusted). | |
| done | 2004-06-02 | Correct index grounding link on 2004/05 | |
| done | 2004-06-02 | Come up with a provenance for the image I am including in the article I'm working on. | |

|
done 2004-06-02 |
2004-06-01 | It's a new month. Roll-up my archive backups to allow for 2004-06 having started. | |
|
moved 2004-06-02 |
2004-06-01 | Elevate the propagation of new headings to /construction and from there to the other sections of Orcmid's Liar and ultimately all of nfoCentrale. At some point, we may meet CSS in all of this too. Maybe in nfoWare when we learn to programmatically manipulate and transform material of the blog. That would be the cool way to do it.. | |
| done | 2004-06-01 | The heading style that is more like <h2> than <h1> in the big parts is less jarring. Change it here. | |
| done | 2004-05-16 | Introduce a blogger catalog and job jar, and see how to handle the difference between the blog and the blogWare. | |
| done | 2004-05-11 | Confirm that no comments have been recorded and synchronize the hosted site to Compagno | |
| done | 2004-05-11 | Checkout the files that I don't want locked down: The May 2004 weekly indexes, lair.asp, lair-atom.xml, lair-chive.asp, and all of the 2004/05 pages so far (except that index.htm) | |
| done | 2004-05-11 | Share all new files and republish to the nfoCentrale/orcmid/blog site image on Compagno | |
| done | 2004-05-11 | Add minimal construction structure to the 2004 and 2004/05 subfolders that now hold content. | |
| done | 2004-05-11 | Backup the new template and archive templates that I developed as part of adjustment to the revised Blogger organization. Put the checked-in templates with updated construction history back into Blogger too. | |
|
done 2004-09-02 |
2004-05-11 | Make the title blocks of all other construction-zone and content pages use the same style - propogate this up to the orcmid/construction section and from there to all other sections. Done: C000000.htm, index.htm, construction.htm. | |
| done | 2004-05-11 | Repair the title blocks of the construction-zone pages here to have a smaller font, without italic, on the top line | |
| done | 2004-04-17 | Backup this blog, creating the necessary monthly sections. Then update the status page. Go on to create updates for the other sections. Be sure to go get Numbering Peano also. | |
