Anything, Nothing, and Somebody
Oct. 31st, 2014 01:09 pmSo I've been let go from my job at MTA, due to a buerocratic screw-up by people long since left. In the week, though, I've been relaxing a bit and now am properly bored enough that I can work on a few projects.
Namely, my website, redwolf.ws. If you go there now, it's not what I would call professional. When you have three boobs smack you right in the face with sci-fi... yeah. I want to fix that.
What I really want to do is put a blog and wiki there. Of course, there is a wiki, but it's MediaWiki and despite as much security that I bolt on there, people are still spamming it up. Plus, I'm not happy with other wiki and blog software. I can do much better!
So I am.
I've written up a wiki previously called Anything. I took inspiration from Everything 2 (a Slashdot project) and created in Perl my own pocket wiki (since it ran on a Zaurus SL5500). I'm now porting it to PHP, with Markdown and a MySQL backend.
For the blog software, I've done the database design for what I'll call "Nothing". The name takes inspiration from Seinfeld.
The main thing about both is that I'm making security a native feature. To post anything you need an account. So I've written up a one-account-everywhere package called Somebody. Anything and Nothing will check against Somebody if it has a token. Somebody will handle all logins.
If I get Nothing written ASAP, the main page of RedWolf.ws gets replaced by a blog. Anything will follow.
