7:54 AM EST 		Using the filesystem as a filesystem, rather than running an RDBS to be treated as one, makes a lot of sense to me, which is why I use UseMod wiki on the LAN machines here. (Watching MediaWiki slow to a crawl on a P133 running Slackware trying to deliver up a page was an instructive experience.) With the rising interest in using plug-style and other low-power Linux computers for server-level jobs on the homefront to save space and power, this is even timely.

Thanks for the pointer, Steven.

Since I spend half my day typing in HTML, I don't mind so much. The simplicity of the whole FlatPress setup remains intriguing (to me anyway).

9:05 AM EST 		FYI The current uploader does not deal well with multiple dots in filenames. no-19mar07.tar.gz became no-19mar07tar.gz by the time it was stored in attachs/. Hand-revised to restore the missing dot, however, it was successfully linked to in a post and fetched from that link.
