I've been playing with tildes for a while - they're community-based *nix
systems where people can play with shell utilities, create home pages,
gemini pages and gopher spaces, lurk on IRC and generally interact with
a community of people with similar interests - much like a local dial-up
BBS.

There are a couple of blog generators on my tilde, but I took a walk
down memory lane and fired up blosxom, a web site generator I was
interested in back in the 2000s. It's PERL-based, but there are Python
and PHP ports out there. You create a template, throw text files in a
directory, and it displays them in chronological order.

I'm liking this - I turned my 2000s era blog into a photoblog, have a
business-focused blog under my company name, and can now use my blosxom
blog as a throwback journal, like in the old LiveJournal days - except
without the angsty dating drama.   :)
