new website trick

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2010.04.28

I've been working with an enterprising young man on building the forthcoming Caritas blog for us.

Along the way I learned an interesting webserver trick that lets me mask real URL values with search-engine friendly URL's that are also human-readable. As of tonight my site has fancy URL's that describe the content rather than simply showing a computer tag like "?0164".

Three good things that happened today:

1. Recovered from some bad news yesterday

2. Resigned myself to just getting over Kenny's spills and renting a steam cleaner

3. Found an interesting bug in the iPhone's web interface
