Buggy, but awesome...: yes, gulker.com fans, this is a new home page, running on a new server with a completely new content management system. Bugs are inevitable.. even plentiful. Email if you catch anything, please...

A couple of weeks ago I espoused a theoretical Lightweight Content Management System: www.gulker.com and www.gulker.net are both now being published with a practical implementation of same. In 2 weeks of spare time:14 machines, a multi-thousand-page web site that's been up since early '95, a brand new web site, all with remote management (read:email) tools.

LCMS dictates using flexible, easily changed, inexpensive, off-the-shelf software with the absolute minimum of well-chosen rules and some high-level programming (typically scripts of some sort) to manage content.

The IBM POP board, an open-source motherboard, is available (Yay!), at $3,900 a board (quantity 1) (Boo!) for the evaluation board from Mai Technology. Can't wait to see what it will cost to put together a PPC Linux box when production boards are ready...

Craziness continues.. but hopefully the end draws near. gulker.com now has new server software, new firewalls and network architecture and a new look for this page... as well as a whole new site dedicated to what happens at the intersection of new ideas. Stay tuned... - dig we must!
