I updated my tacky blogging tool today. The only real feature change is the ability to open your old blog posts to edit them. I just realized that the mtime of your blog entry will change, so the feature isn’t ultra-useful since that’ll make your entry pop back up as the newest entry.
I used zrusin’s delayed initialization technique to achieve a pretty respectable startup speedup. Almost a year after he mentioned that it would be a good idea to add that article to the KDE common mistakes page, I finally went and did so.
I also converted tacky to use bksys to build instead of my custom Makefile. Hopefully we’ll see greater uptake in the use of non-autotools-based KDE projects. It would be nice if the KDE build infrastructure were a part of KDE instead of having to be distributed with every program, but until then I’m using mini-build-systems =D.
