w3m, PhpWiki

I’d love to say I’ve done something of note to write about here… but I really haven’t.

I compiled w3m 0.3.2.2 and emacs-w3m 1.3.3 and packaged them in RPMs. I’ve got them for PPC. Let me know if you need them. There is a small problem when going to an SSL-secured site with an invalid certificate and HTTP basic authentication when using emacs-w3m; I had to comment out a line in the source. E-mail me if you’re interested in any of that.

Also installed PhpWiki from CVS. Pretty stable, can’t say I see much of anything wrong except for its determination of DATA_PATH. I had to do:

if (!defined('DATA_PATH')) define ('DATA_PATH', '');

In my index.php. Without this it was producing relative links that looked like //foo/bar, which both Mozilla and IE seemed unable to deal with. Note that my phpwiki directory is DocumentRoot. I’ll also note that I didn’t discover this myself, because Mozilla wasn’t indicating that there were broken images on the page, instead rendering just the content of the ALT attribute for the images. IE actually put the little empty frames with broken image icons around the missing images (IE 5.5).

PhpWiki was quite easy to set up. It seems sort of fast. Its markup has so far been adequate. I’m a bit concerned about its tables support, particularly since the general-use (not definition) stuff looks like it’s been deprecated somewhat? So far pleased, though. Especially when editing from emacs-w3m.

I’ve got something like 18 tickets open in our new ticketing system so far. How exciting. I’ve been closing out stuff as quick as possible, and at this point I’ve got several sitting open or “stalled” because I’m waiting on other people.

No problems with the new array so far. I’ve downloaded a few things on it with no problems. Copying files to /nfs/* on my Linux box then opening them up with my Windows box is also very convenient. I should start work on my Donnie Darko soundtrack again, I guess, and start throwing other files onto the new drive. euphorik is still concerned about its usability I think, but I feel bad letting it languish unused. Haven’t moved any computers but my two over to using the new systems.
