June 2005 -- The
Where London Stood project is now being "wiki-fied." Hopefully, this will make future content management and external feedback much easier than regular HTML pages. The old pages will remain online at
http://www.spoilheap.com for the foreseeable future.

David Platt: I have to say that I am
amazed at how easy content management is with the wiki. WLS has been sitting in a folder for the past few years, with only occasional slight modification.
This looks set to change. Before, I was struggling to keep the number of pages to a minimum -- I didn't want to have drastically rewrite navigation bars, and my implementation of style sheets was "iffy" to say the least. But with the wiki, it's a snap just add pages, group pages together (it's even possible to group one page with several groups), and then scrap the old connections and regroup everything in a completely new way.

David Platt: Although there remain a couple of tweaks to make, the
Imperial Cult in Roman Gytheum pages have now gone live. These are a collection for resources two of the most important inscriptions concerning Rome's imperial cult.

David Platt: Neither the "Hadrian's Wall" project nor the enigmatically named "Project #9" are currently open to public both. Both are at the earliest possible stages of development, and there isn't really much to see on either.
This will change in the not-too-distant future!

David Platt: Not much going on here, over the last couple of months. I've been looking for a job and working on the DaimlerChrysler project fairly exclusively. Now that I have a job (as a "Library Specialist," no less), and that the DaimlerChrysler project is finally winding down, there should be a bit more activity on these pages.

David Platt: Over the last week or so, someone has been persistently spamming the front page of
Where London Stood. Good thing that I have an RSS link so that I can keep track of this kind of thing, eh?
I am considering setting up a SPAM Hall of Shame as a separate page, rather than simply deleting the SPAM. I'm not entirely sure that this would achieve anything, however ...

David Platt: Well, I have just spent about half an hour deleting the handiwork of my link-happy spammer. Each link within a page automatically creates a new page, if not formatted correctly. This means that, in addition to deleting the original spam post, I have to delete the pages created by his/ her links.
As a direct consequence of this activity, I am locking the "Post" function in all my Projects. People can still send comments to me via email (see David Platt).
Apologies all round (except to the wretch or wretches responsible for this action).
