Havard's Crappy Blog

Havard's Crappy Blog is an aptly-named piece of software written by John Havard to power one of his web sites. It's a simple blog-style web app that runs under our favorite web application server. It was initially a couple of .adp scripts, but with a little prodding from Dossy, it was whipped into shape to be insanely fast. Since most blogs are relatively small, and RAM is cheap, everything is cached.

All the code is kept in the AOLserver CVS repository as the havardblog package. Be warned that the code is likely full of WTF-isms. It's bad enough that I considered contributing it anonymously to avoid tarnishing my family's good name.
