Back to work on Slash

alessio — 2002-02-14T17:04:08+00:00

It's been a while since I've been working on Slash: a couple of projects that I had in mind didn't go out the design board, so I've been quiet for a while. Now a friend of mine wants to run his site into a Slash site, so I am going back to work on the Slash-Italian stuff and on Slash in general. Like I had too much free time...

Slash-Italian almost done!

There may still be some bugs, but the Slash-Italian translation is ready! You can check at the project site, or at the newly installed (and rather empty) RadioBox site.

RadioBox will be a Slash-based weblog in Italian devoted to Formula 1 discussions.

The heated MySql-PostgreSQL discussions...

Added a comment about Slash in the Slashdot thread of MySql vs. PostgreSQL.

Translation half-done...

Hopefully tomorrow the rest!

Let's start again...

New version of Slash (Fry beta) and it's time to have my couple of pet projects taking shape: Slash-Italian, which provides the slashcode-italian theme, should be updated soon, and then we will fix other plugins and documentation to have a fully functional Italian release. I like the new plugin Messages, it was nearly impossible to translate stuff locked inside the code of dailyStuff!

For the PostgreSQL port, it's gonna take a little more since I have to carefully study some areas of the code. Hopefully, I will have more luck this time.

What about a site running Slash in Italian on PostgreSQL?! Mmmhhh...

Finally...

I've managed to run Slash 2.X on my Digital Unix machine: a bug in the weird @ISAMySql hack (one of the ugliest ever seen), plus a conflict between a running Slash 1 and Slash 2 on the same machine. Now it's time to do something real...

Back to work...

Finally, I manage to come back to work on Slash. I have a number of things to do, trying to put off a better release of Slash in Italian, which includes writing some documentation, the thing I hate most. :-(

But most important, I need to port my site from Slash 1 to Slash 2 and from MySql to PostgreSQL: I believe I will revert my line of work, instead of first struggling with the PostgreSQL port I will wait a little (will things change after Fry?) and first doing the 1->2 modifications on the existing MySql database.

Slash-Italian

We are going live.

Slash in Italian, PostgreSQL

alessio — 2001-06-11T08:56:12+00:00

Back to work on Slash almost full time... First, I want to complete the Slash in Italian stuff, at least the base theme since plugins have some issues. Then I will try again to complete the port to PostgreSQL.

Improvements for PostgreSQL

alessio — 2001-05-07T06:12:24+00:00

I have made some progress on the PostgreSQL port... But still there are a few bugs to be fixed!

Finally, Bender running...

alessio — 2001-05-05T13:50:56+00:00

Finally, a installation of Bender is running at TopTop5. It's Slash 2.0pre3, Red Hat 6.2, Apache and mod_perl compiled from scratch. It's running on MySql, now I am working on the PostgreSQL port...

First entry: I am disappointed

alessio — 2001-04-18T08:55:13+00:00

I have so many eggs in my basket (maybe because it's Easter - bad bad joke) that I am really not finding any time to work on Slash.
I need time to look at the PostgreSQL port and Italian translation...
