Am I clever or stupid?
I came up with something at work yesterday that I can’t tell if it’s extremely clever, or way too complicated.

Not the most productive weekend I’ve ever had, but a nice balance of doing and not doing.

Some random thoughts about the blog
Last night, lying in bed trying to get to sleep, I had a few random thoughts about my blog.
- If I were to just put the already generated pages of Maddy’s blog and the memorial blog, and not allow new entries or comments, then it doesn’t need a blog engine behind it, and so therefore I could upgrade *this* blog to the newest version of MovableType or TextPattern. I can’t currently upgrade MovableType because the current version’s free license only allows one author.
- I should make a new category for a pain diary, but not put it on the main page. Sort of like how on Maddy’s blog only her entries go on the main index, but other stuff posted about her by others goes in the category index on the side.
- I should put all the updates I’m doing to the navaid.com site into a blog, either this one or another one. I should also transition the copilot-announce mailing list to Gradwell.
MovableType bug or feature?
This entry is posted at 8:20 local (12:20 GMT), but the the index.rdf entry will show the date as
<dc:date>2004-09-29T08:20:00-05:00</dc:date>
That seems to imply that the GMT offset is 5 hours, when (thanks to daylight savings time) it’s really 4 hours. So should MovableType put the current offset in there, or should anybody attempting to parse that file have to know about DST?
