This blog, perl, German magazines, updates...

Cool about your design Mark :) Seems German computer magazines are pretty cool like that, I had Blind Fury in a German magazine years ago - Although that must've been a bit of a shitty magazine, considering... hehe

I agree with your comment on comments, James... It's not that big a deal to read comments seperately, but it would be nice if it just displayed them underneath the post in this case - What I was thinking is if we used Blogger's sftp upload feature to upload the blog to my web-space, I can wrap all this up in some Perl scripts so we can format it how we like (you could design the CSS and template, I can get Perl to put things in the right place) - That way, we could have comments underneath posts, or even folding lists of comments using CSS or something like that (that'd be neat!) - Could even have new-comment notifications along with bookmark links at the top of the page... You'd still update using the Blogger interface, but you'd view it from whatver domain (I could set it up so my main site points to it, or a subdomain). What do you think Mark? If you do a page design, I'll do the scripts.

Just did my scripting techniques exam - Think I did quite well there, hopefully heading for a first in that module :) One of the questions was a real bitch though, shame I didn't learn any .Net, could've done an easier question :p

Anyway, your thoughts, guys?
