C000000: Orcmid's Lair /BlunderDome/wingnut Diary

Status	Date	Description



	2004-08-29	Retrofit the solution from Clueless, when it is there, to here also. The refinements and refactoring of solutions will have gone full circle.
	2004-08-27	Create sources for the "Danger" and the "All Clear" that only need to be pasted into a feed and then updated to make a current element. (It would be better to update them and then paste them, so the last-used numbers would always be known.)
	2004-08-27	SMOP Project: A great thing to make a matter of routine is the synchronizing and backup of the hosted-site pages and the development site and its FrontPage materials. This also makes sense for comments and wikis too, so this is a worthwhile personal project.
	2004-08-27	SMOP Project: It would be really great to have one of those cool calendar blocks that points to archives by date and so on.
	2004-08-27	SMOP Project: Make the cloning of new subdirectories and such a computer-assisted process without the manual effort, though it is pretty easy.
	2004-08-27	There needs to be an archive list here and it needs to be linked from the default page and its template.
done	2004-08-27	Correct links to self on the 2004/06/index.htm page before cloning it further. Remember to clone by copying so that the links should not update. Because relative-up-the-tree links don't change, but some of the titles do, this makes cloning the page easy. [dh:2004-08-27 Yup, if I do a copy and paste, nothing gets fixed-up and the page works as-is except for the descriptive test.
done	2004-08-27	Clean-up the new post subdirectories by including index.htm pages: 2004/07 and 2004/08
done 2004-08-27	2004-08-26	For a successful post, update directories for the postings and backup the new site material.
done	2004-08-26	Reattempt a wingnut post, seeing what the impact is.
not needed	2004-08-26	Authorize blogger.com to post to wingnut directories.
done	2004-08-26	Attempt a wingnut posting to see what happens when FTP transfer fails (if it does). [dh:2004-08-26 It worked. I must not have locked Blogger out of Wingnut. OK, we'll try that on one of the other Blogs as we turn them on one-by-one.]
done	2004-08-26	Do a firedrill with the three substitute pages. See what timestamps and web caching do to us.
done	2004-08-26	Make default.asp firedrill, quarantine, and standby pages for use in restoration of this blog.
	2004-07-10	Version this page so that completed items can be archived
done 2004-07-15	2004-07-10	In addition to the current incident process, add a lab note that reflects the current status of the blogs and links to any incidents being worked on.
done	2004-07-10	Review the construction zone materials here and make sure they are ready for company.
	2004-07-10	The color scheme doesn't work with the notice in the default page banner. It looks like this blog should be reverted to Rounders 2 as well, and then we can work on other cleanups. Also, blog about slip-streaming and what that cost when I did it.
done	2004-07-10	Clean up the index page to be more clear where the blog is and have the notice reflect that it is on the index page, not the blog
done	2004-07-10	Capture items from the pending "Troubles in FTP City" posting to here as well, since the posting may fail.
done 2004-08-26	2004-07-02	Set up Muddleware "Restore Point" for quickly removing any corrupted result and performing a roll-back.
done 2004-07-03	2004-07-02	Lock out blogger access from the "production" blogs and do screen captures demonstrating how I did that.
done 2004-07-15	2004-07-02	Create a manual modification to a restored atom feed that provides notification of the lockdown and links to wherever resolution is developed
done 2004-07-08	2004-07-02	Mention that the atom feed is impacted by the corruption
done 2004-07-08	2004-07-02	Have strong warnings about the feed here and other instabilities while I work on the problem.
done 2004-07-08	2004-07-02	Announce the suspension of all blogs but this one.
done 2004-07-15	2004-07-02	Create a place where I document the FTP problem and progress outside of the blog, and can refer to that from the lock-down pages and blog postings.
done 2004-06-21	2004-06-18	Create the 2004/06 posts subtree and synchronize with the site.
done	2004-06-18	Change the title to "Spanner Wingnut's Muddleware Labs"
done	2004-06-17	Capture creation of a hosted (FTP site) blog
done 2004-06-18	2004-06-17	Consider Web Cellar (or maybe Root Cellar) and remember to work Steve Ciarcia into it. And also Don Tarbell's Incredible Secret Money Machine. Well, that is [Incredible] Secret Cellar, then.
	2004-06-17	Spanner Wingnut needs own image in the title blocks, and likewise for Prof.Clueless.
done	2004-06-17	Update BlunderDome entrance to reflect what we have here
done	2004-06-17	Mirror the site content into the site image and share that into the development site.
	2004-06-17	Take the archive list and the Recent Posts lists from the Wingnut template and put them onto Numbering Peano.
	2004-06-17	Can cross-link between Professor Clueless and Wingnut.
	2004-06-17	For allied sites, list Professor Clueless in Orcmid's Lair and Numbering Peano. Do not list Wingnut there.
done 2004-06-26	2004-06-17	Get Atom feed working and replicate to Professor Clueless
	2004-06-17	See how to avoid the double title business and treat it as a clueless situation.
done 2004-06-18	2004-06-17	Have the inaugural entry provide an "explanation" for how this Blog is named and how it will be used. [dh:2004-06-18 I delayed this to a second entry, and then did it along with a name change.]
done	2004-06-17	Use the settings for Professor von Clueless to make the initial Spanner Wingnut site having the same settings.
done	2004-06-17	Use the bCentral administration interface to grant user "blogger" write privileges to wingnut.
done	2004-06-17	Publish this update to nfoCentrale.net/orcmid and confirm that it is established.
done	2004-06-17	Create this minimal Construction Zone for BlunderDome/wingnut by cloning from /clueless.
