More fun with clean URLs

Posted April 19, 2007 at 02:31 PM

FYI, if you take a look at the URLs of archived posts, you will notice a path structure based on year/month/day/basename.html.

If you start popping pieces of the path off at the forward slashes, you can see groupings by date. For example year/month/day will give you everything for that day. year/month returns everything for that month, and naturally, including only the year returns every post for that year. Anything else goes back to the main archive for you to navigate.

Apple - Final Cut Studio 2: I love these guys. They use Prototype and Script.aculo.us on their corporate site. Oh, and Final Cut Server looks pretty cool too.

São Paulo No Logo - a photoset on Flickr: By way of Boing Boing:
Back in December, 2006, the mayor of the 11-million-person Brazilian city of Sao Paulo banned all outdoor billboard advertising, citing advertisers' unwillingness to comply with the city's rules on what sort of billboards can be placed where. Now the rule is in effect, and Flickr user Tony de Marco has documented the eerie sight of a city stripped bare of commercial visuals.

mod_rewrite

Posted April 14, 2007 at 04:49 PM

I added a mod_rewrite rule and updated the xsl templates to reflect cleaner urls. There's already a rule provided by TextDrive that cleans up *.php urls, I added a rule that cleans up permalinks to remove the ugly query string parameters. The only problem is /projects/ since there is both a projects directory and a file named projects.php, so I'll have to wait on that one.

No more AdSense

Posted April 10, 2007 at 01:50 PM

I removed AdSense from Something More. It was a very informative experiment, but AdSense doesn't match my content as well as I'd like and it brings in zero revenue. Amazon, on the other hand, actually produces referral traffic, but no revenue (as of yet). As long as people click on the ads, I'll keep it up. Not because of the revenue potential, but instead because as long as people willingly follow the content-matched ads, Amazon's providing a service to my audience.

The Old New Thing : Code is read much more often than it is written, so plan accordingly: "...somebody will have to stare at your code and figure out what it does: That person is probably going to be you, twelve months from now."
