Snipsnap & Ubuntu
I decided to make an install of Snipsnap on my favourite Linux. I am using Ubuntu 9.0. This snip talks about how to, and configuring the rc.d files. It must be pretty useless now, and I have marked it deprecated and is another page that points at my mirror and thus needs to acknowledge that…

Snipsnap, RSS & XML feeds

Leaving blogs.oracle.com
Time to see if I can load the Oracle Blog into my blog.davelevy.info. It seems to be behind a login screen now, although the index page seems available if you known the URL.

Disqus
This is page was originally created to document my use of Disqus supporting my snipsnap bliki. Disqus is a “comment as a service” web site. I revisited it in June 2025. I am not sure how I am going to do this as the snipsnap content is no longer required. I am a bit surprised…
