Oh Looky, Clean URLs

20th February 2009, 05:44

So clean URLs are now working great in muffins, as you can see. This, like the RSS and Atom feeds, was very little work making me wonder why I didn't do all this earlier. Probably because I procrastinate far too much.

Continuing from my previous point about working on this in pseudo-realtime, I've found that it actually makes me more productive as anticipated. It's more motivational to be able to see what you write as you write it rather than just working on something locally.

Anyhow, feed generator has been updated to reflect the changes to the URL format, so the next time the feed updates -- which should be a few milliseconds after I press the "Post" button -- it'll have altered existing items in the feed.

Also on the topic of URLs, I managed to write a very nifty, easy to use link obfuscator/redirector/whatnot on the 45-minute train journey home from work out of boredom. I rather enjoy using it, as I designed it to be controlled entirely from the URL; you don't need to visit the page and fill out a form in order for it to add, remove or modify existing aliases. Might post more on that later.
