Spent this past week working on my site, dynamictyping,org. I was planning on storing log entries and related data in flat files but kept putting it off. Earlier this week, the not-so-novel idea of using some service to store posts and comments hit me.
Tumblr and Disqus are now managing my log content. I wrote a little library, cl-tumblr, to pull data via Tumblr’s web API. It’s still missing some features, but will be hacking on it over the next week.
I’ve been tempted to run back to Python and web.py, but after getting accustomed to macros and the excellent development environment provided by SLIME, the safety of the familiar has been eclipsed by the power of something new.
