Ecto In The House

So I finally -finally- have ecto up and running on a few sites. At issue were loads of missing Perl modules on the server. Now I’m installing ecto for Jon E. for his sites. I think he’ll have loads of material he’ll be getting online now. He’s a prolific writer and just needs the correct tools.

Many thanks to Allen Hutchison for pointing me in the right direction and for creating BXR which is the whole reason I could even get ecto working. I’m quite excited to be posting this first article with the new software. My only concern now is the nameing convention, which I’ll have to work on since ecto (and, apparently, BXR) use the title of the article for the name of the file. Bummer.

I think this will prove really useful when I start up my new topical blog I’m working on…

    File Name
    The filename is purely a BXR thing. The blogging standards don’t have a concept of filename because they were written with the idea of putting entries into a database. BXR 1.9 (i.e. not the immenent release) will include a user-configurable template for the filename.

    Ok guys :0
    Come on! I am still peeing the whiskey from the gaijin hangover from New Years’! Give me a day to hack that new ecto! I think because my kitty is dirty now, I might do the Satan.but I dont know. Should I go over there and destroy my soul and the job? The Suntory say, “Do it, Aki, do it!!”, but I dont know. :)
