This is

as days pass by, by Stuart Langridge

. Here I write about many things. In the past I wrote about other things but the past is past. I write code for people to play with, I write about my life on Twitter, and I write here.

On I wrote Funky caching without 404s, on the subject of Uncategorized.

Gary Burd (via Sam Ruby) explains how to how to cache the output of a CGI program to a single file; i.e., how to redirect requests for non-existent files to your "build-the-file-as-requested" CGI without having it trigger a spurious 404. That's not only neat, but it means that when I adopt this for Vellum, the build-it-now CGI will work the same way (being explicitly passed a URI to build) under both Apache and IIS, thanks to Ronaldo's instructions for running Vellum on Windows.
