Kwiki::Purple on CPAN

I've finally put Kwiki::Purple on CPAN, along with a few other new or refreshed Kwiki Plugins.    (PF0)

Kwiki-Purple is not yet done, but is far enough along where other people could play with it. If you want to give it a go have a look at    (PF1)

  http://www.burningchrome.com/pwiki/index.cgi?KwikiPurpleInstall    (PF2)

To help with Kwiki-Purple development, I put together a Kwiki-Test module. Traditionally Kwiki Plugins are rather lacking in tests, I hope Kwiki-Test helps change that. tdd++    (PF3)

My stuff at CPAN    (PF4)

Make Me This

Does this exist? Seems like it ought, or at least somebody is thinking about it or working on it.    (PEQ)

I've replaced my laptop, as it was stolen, with a 12" powerbook and a 20" screen. I decided to sacrifice a little speed for more screen and portability. So far it seems like a fair trade. It has, though, exposed a bit a of a hole in the mac market that I think my good friends at apple have the guns to fill.    (PER)

Somewhere in the middlin' days of laptops/notebooks/portables, docks and port replicators were a popular thing. I had one for a while that would sit down on top of a cd drive and some cables. That's all well and good but these days doesn't amount to much. My external hard drive plugs in my screen today.    (PES)

What I want is a dock that actually does something for me. When I drop my powerbook into it, the dock should automatically wake up and some bios like functionality should notify the powerbook to begin a raid rebuild/synch with the dock's one or more drives. At the same time the kernel should be made aware of the additional one to many cpus and gpus contained in the dock.    (PET)

That would be okay, I reckon.    (PEU)

    Dave posts about the ten most important ideas in politics and society for 2004. I want to give this a solid read when I have a moment.

At Least Two Pieces of Good News about Views: Mountains and Purple

Two nice things have happened today:    (PEG)

On the walk back from the grocery I found a good place from which to get my eyes on Mt. Rainier. This has been a long running problem for me. First the weather is usually cloudy, so none of the mountains (Cascades or Olympics) are in view. Second, in the neighborhood, views to the east are fairly plentiful, but narrow. Rainier is to the Southeast, usually outside the angle of view while tromping around the streets.    (PEH)

Today things are different. Very clear day. And I found a good spot for a view. Somewhere I walk past often, but usually with my back facing the view. At the northwest corner of a nearby playfield if I site across the center line of the soccer field and look a bit right there's the mountain. And when I say there, I mean THERE. On a day like today it is stunningly huge. Nails me to the spot in some kind of religious ecstasy.    (PEI)

Meanwhile, back inside, where my view is the brick wall of next door, I've finally cut a usable version of Kwiki::Purple with support for good linking and internal to the wiki TransClusion. See it: http://www.burningchrome.com/pwiki/    (PEJ)

This is the culmination of a huge amount of work and experimentation, and I'm sure there will be much more to come. Thanks again to Brian Ingerson, Matthew O'Connor and Eugene Eric Kim.    (PEK)

I hope to get it to CPAN asap.    (PEL)
