Blog menu

Those of you who access my blog through blog.signal2noise.co.uk might notice that I completely rewrote the menu system to allow previous months of blog entries to be accessed. An initial rewrite failed the diamond test (asking diamond whether he liked it or not) and after he quite rightly pointed out that I shouldn't be a lazy coder, I genericised the system to give the current offering. It's still text only, implemented in perl rather than javascript so it's any-browser(tm) compatible - and most importantly, it doesn't require me to do anything next year to add another year to the calendar. Next step is to start automating the addition of months. Perhaps I'll get a chance to code that tomorrow evening.
