Found a hoard of anglo-saxon gold. Will never blog again.


As an exercise to learn Scala I've started writing a blog engine. It's RDF-backed, using Jena & Jetty libs. It's running at dannyayers.com.

this page now reverse-chrono - in lieu of blog :)

added a feed (RSS 1.0), spent ages trying to get existing-file passthrough working with Apache - got close via .htaccess. various minor fixes. Broke posting.

Got index page (most recent 10 items) working, and made it live!

Lots of tidying up needed, not to mention the numerous features...

Next step I guess is to make something to post to it - I'm thinking maybe a simple HTML form with Digest auth for starters.

Discovered lots of the content:encoded chunks wouldn't unescape to valid XML (which I wanted for Scala XML templating) so wrote a cleaner using JTidy. Clean versions going back in as planet:content (a la Planet RDF). This couldn't fix about 10 chunks, so I fixed those manually. Unfortunately JTidy has completely wiped at least one comment...

So far I've only been looking at putting archived entries of dannyayers.com back online. They're contained in an 37MB RDF/XML file, so I'm using Jena (ARQ for SPARQL) behind a Jetty-based Web server.

- this first bit now working! (though needs tidying before deploying)
