Incorporated Pierre Gaston’s patch for a MeatBall:EasySubmission implementation into OddMuse ¹ and mentioned it on Meatball ².

It is now 2:53 – I should sleep. Interesting. The new automatic links on the right made me put my late night hacking onto the early morning next day... Which is technically correct, but weird.

Found another bug! The pinging of weblogs.org doesn’t work as expected. I am a lasy bastard, that’s why OddMuse just uses a GET call to the Ping Site Form ³. And in order to give users the illusion that it is fast when in fact it is slow, I redirected visitors after an edit and *then* I called the form... But perhaps the webserver is killing OddMuse while it does the ping once the user has in fact redirected. Argh!

Well, it turns out that weblogs.com doesn’t seem to like my URLs – at least when I submit this page via the form, it complains.

Spent quite some time fixing OddMuse bugs. Sadly, the commenting code had subtle bugs – it would add the default message if somebody just hit “Save”, it would delete all comments if an empty comment was saved, it added a horizontal line even when adding the first comment, etc. But I think I got them all. I was too lazy to write unit tests for this, and I think I’m going to regret this someday.

Spent the afternoon walking through town with Claudia, drinking café macchiato and eating ice cream at the *Cristallo*.

Zoran, my Croatian movie-making friend invited me over for a new screening of his recent movie with a new soundtrack as well as for a showing of one of his top 5 movies from ex-Jugoslavia (can’t remember whether it was Croatian or not). Sadly I had to wait for Claudia, and she was out training for her tribal (oriental) dancing.

OddMuse could qualify as a MeatBall:WikiLog no? – Pierre 2003-06-15 9:43 UTC

A problem when you try to add comments to a new Page I think.

I was unable to add comments before editing the page and saving something in it – Pierre 2003-06-15 9:45 UTC

Yes, I found some bugs, should be better now. – Alex
