While I was working on the SiteCrawler script, I had a problem getting it to redirect output to a file. In fact it’s one of the reasons I put it on the back burner. I thought it was a Python (on Windows) problem, but it turns it’s just a Windows® Issue™:

Even though the article is about WinXP and 2k, I thought I’d try the registry fix. Sure enough — it works! So I will probably start adding stuff to the site crawler again and may actually release it!

What to do?

I’m a little up in arms about what to do with this site. I barely program any more in my free time. I want to do stuff, but I lack motivation. I have about 20 unfinished posts. By the time I get through, I don’t care to re-read or add the links I want to reference.

I’m also a little worried about WordPress. I don’t like it and I want to ditch it. However, I have a bunch of posts that get me some attention from Google. Is there a way to export my posts to static files?

On a more positive note, I got to use Django for a project at work. It’s an excellent product. Anyone developing webapps should try it, at least once. I might want to convert my site to Django CMS… dunno yet.
