Yeah, yeah, yeah Merry Christmas; now where’s my present?
I hate unneccicarilly long URIs. Almost every site I visit has some sort of extra paths or uses filename extensions. I even hate having the date in my permalinks, but I need them in order to get archive browsing to work with WordPress.
I’m starting to regret switching to a PHP & SQL CMS. I yearn for the good ol’ days – with CGI scripts and plain text data files. Things were just so much more hackable back then. Or maybe it’s just that I hate both C and SQL and would prefer living in a Ruby or even Smalltalk world. Now all my entries are locked up in some nasty SQL database that’s almost impossible to backup properly or restore if needed.
Merry Christmas!
