Templates for this site
Posted May 28, 2003 Comments(0)
Comments(0) I thought it would be useful to link to some of the MT templates which generate this site, in case anyone is interested in how I did things.
- index.html.tmpl - This highlights the way that I make the Daily Links work.
- tech.html.tmpl - The template that drives my Technology Page. Highlights here are the auto-generated “Pointers” and “Ideas” sections on the side, which I create using MT’s category function.
- index.xml.tmpl - RSS 2.0 template for the full-article RSS feed.
- style-site.css - A fairly basic stylesheet, minimally modified from the MT Trendy stylesheet. I did change some things in order to bump the font size.

Be sure to look at the other Pointers I list on my Tech page.
Coding Efficiency

Comments(0) Quote of the Day: I was having lunch with an old friend of mine today who has written a small piece of specialty software that he sells online as a nice little side business. I’m really impressed since he’s doing the whole shebang for this project. Anyways, we were talking about draconian coding styles and I liked what he had to say about making tradeoffs in your own projects like this:
“When you’re writing your own project you just keeping thinking about what’s the quickest path between me and more money, and every keystroke should follow that path.”
