ideas have term limits

I’ve rather foolishly hacked DeadHorse (this site’s PHP blogging system) to cope with multiple entries in one day. It was a bit of a struggle, frankly, but it works – although the entries within a day are no longer in reverse chronological order, which ain’t the blog way. DeadHorse’s design is collapsing under the strain. I’ll have to refactor it, which if previous experience is to go by, means migrating it from PHP to something a bit less clunky.

update: Oh, it does work. I was just writing backwards. Excellent.
