Lloyd Hannesson has a solution for caching your blogrols (if you are using blogrolling.com). It's a little tricky and requires a PHP extension (Cache Lite) be installed on your server. If you can arrange that then you should be in business. ---Kevin AylwardPosted by notGeorge at May 24, 2004 07:08 PM
Well, of course, you do, but you are not a Munuvian, are you?
Posted by notGeorge at May 24, 2004 11:20 PMnotGeorge: Dasme would be THE ONE to ask... if you have a question. I understand it, but couldn't explain it as well as Dasme did. BTW, Wizbang Kevin is working on another fix as we speak.
Posted by Madfish Willie at May 24, 2004 11:27 PMYep, Kevin from Wizbang and I were talking about possible solutions and came up with a decent idea. I wrote a script last night that is currently being tested. Once we can be sure that it is working i'll post it on my blog.
Posted by Dasme at May 25, 2004 01:45 AMThat script seems to work, and it's been tested with multiple blogrolls.
Posted by Kevin at May 25, 2004 02:47 AMIf I'm reading it right, what it means is that you can set up your blog (using the new script) to go to blogrolling and store itself a copy of your blogroll, which it will then put up on your page everytime the page is viewed. The big difference is the 'roll is loaded off your (MuNu's) server, not the one at Blogrolling. So if BR gets slowed down, or even crashes, you're blogroll will still be available from your own server. It'll be set to update itself automatically as long as BR is active, and if BR is down, it'll just keep showing it's most recent version until BR comes back up again.
There's another protentially really elegant blogrolling/RSS aggregator combination called Jaeger that would let us avoid dependance on Blogrolling's servers too. I've been playing with/pounding on it for about a week, and will be posting about it on Light & Dark in a day or so if anybody's interested.
