Sorry More Boring Technical Stuff

changelog v1.08d
---------------
* glolg is now trackback and pingback enabled.

I must admit I was still rather confused (and not too concerned) about the concept of trackbacks when they were all the rage several years ago, but now certainly slightly older and perhaps slightly wiser, writing Perl servers for these frameworks wasn't all that hard. Hint: Implementing a trackback server doesn't need any non-standard Perl libraries, while pingback only needs LWP:Simple for link verification (though I suppose one could cheat a bit and omit that). Another leg up on Blogger!

I mulled over refbacks for a while, but decided against it for now since there seem to be no established standards, and the vast majority of link checking would be wasted processing power (unless a specific refback url were provided). Some other time, maybe.

With glolg now geared to approach industry-standard quality, I felt it was the right moment to recruit more contributors to the project - and two out-of-work unfortunates presented themselves:

Full Name: Mr. Ham "Gay" Bacon
Position: Customer Service Representative, Web Designer

E-mail: ham-bacon@glys.com

Core Competencies: Looking cute, acting cuter, licking fingers adoringly
Full Name: Mr. Fish "F***er" Chips
Position: Security Guard, Network Programmer

E-mail: fish-chips@glys.com

Core Competencies: Biting. Very. Hard.
And not letting go.

The tripling in size of the glolg Development Team will help increase the professionalism of the code, and accelerate release cycles, freeing me from being bogged down in the technical details. Thus, expect more "normal" blog posts in the near future.
