Social updates, or why this site exists and how it works

This site is dedicated to social-media-style updates. For longer pieces, see my main blog. In this microblog, I am using a command-line script written in Ruby to feed this site and my Fediverse account on Mastodon.

No databases were harmed in the making of this web site

You're seeing this blog, powered by Ode, through the magic of the Perl programming language and the Common Gateway Interface. Also involved: the Apache web server and Linux operating system.

The Ode project website has been down for some time, but you can find what's left of the user base at Gitter.

Ode does not use a database to store content. Instead, every entry exists on the web server as a "flat" text file.

Counter: Thanks to Rob Reed for the Ode system that runs this blog as well as his help on the Counter addin that provides the post-count feature seen above.

What happened to the Ode project?

I don't really know.

The Ode project website has been down for some time, but you can find what's left of the user base at Gitter.

I'd be lying if I didn't say I wanted to move this service to a Hugo blog, or just keep it on an Activity Pub site that I run. I'm looking into both of these options.
