To-do list

UPDATE 2023-03-27: This page is obsolete, as it refers to a prior version of this blog. However, it may be of historical interest. As many people can attest, sometimes you spend more time (and have more fun) tinkering with the underpinnings of a web site instead of actually writing new content to be posted on it.

Copyright and license

UPDATE 2023-03-27: This page is obsolete, as it refers to a prior version of this blog. However, it may be of historical interest. I’ve done a lot of work related to software licensing as part of the Mozilla relicensing project and when I worked at CollabNet.

Colophon

UPDATE 2023-03-27: This page is obsolete, as it refers to a prior version of this blog. However, it may be of historical interest. This site is a mixture of static content and dynamic content served through the Blosxom blogging system. I use various URI rewriting rules and a number of Blosxom plugins (some slightly hacked) in order to implement the site according to my personal design philosophy.
