The point of the other blog
I have created another blog, called Ölbaum’s Knowledge Base. Its main purpose is to archive the knowledge I gain by failing at something, documenting myself and eventually succeeding (or sometimes just understanding why I can’t). Its secondary purpose is to be able to point people who ask questions to a ready-made answer instead of having to make up a new explanation and/or look up references again. It is only its tertiary purpose to be available for people to browse and find answers to questions they didn’t ask in the first place.
Entries about Apache, SSH and CVS are to be expected in the near future as I never remember the arguments to the import command or the flags for update that prune empty directories and create the new ones.
I’d talk as well about how I discovered the drastic limitations of CSS2 positioning after hours of trial, error, harder trial and complete failure, but Dave Hyatt recently described the problem better than I would ever have done.
