For those we lost, We will not forget 09/11/2001 “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
— The Continental Congress, July 4, 1776

“The task of statesmanship has always been the re-definition of these rights in terms of a changing and growing social order.”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt (Commonwealth Club Address, 1932)

“Roosevelt was wrong! The principles laid down in the Declaration of Independence are the principles of individual liberty. Our unalienable rights, given to us by God are given to us as individuals. Our rights do not come from society or the government, and they cannot be redefined by politicians. The nature of these rights carries with it the implication of individual responsibility, without which we surrender them.”

Permalink Format Change

I'm about 70% finished with the implementation of the new URL rewriter. I decided to go with an open source URL rewriting library. So far it seems to be working well, but I did run into a few glitches along the way.

The new URL format for the permalinks will include the year, the month and the day, as well as the post ID. There shouldn't be a querystring involved. I haven't gotten everything switched over yet. I also haven't implemented "hackable" URLs yet. That's coming soon.

Most of the internal site links use the new permalink style. The feeds still use the old style permalinks. Embedded links in posts still use the old style. I'm not going to republish all of the old posts to change over the permalinks, but I will be updating the feeds.

The old style permalinks will still work even for the new posts, and that's not going to change. Anybody that has linked to a post using the old permalink style should find that their link is still good.

There may be a few glitches in the system right now, but I'm working on them as fast as I can. If you find problems with the URL rewriting, please post a comment or send me email at perri at perrinelson dot com and I'll try to get the problems fixed.

Thanks for your patience as I continue to work on the site.

UPDATE: I've updated the feeds to use the new permalink format. I've also modified the processor for editing posts.

UPDATE 2: Permalinks are now partly hackable. If you strip off the last section of the URL, leaving a URL like this http://perrinelson.com/2006/12/31/ the URL will show you all posts for that day. The archive calendar has been updated to use this feature.

UPDATE 3: Permalinks are now fully hackable. If you strip off the last sections of the URL, leaving a URL like this http://perrinelson.com/2006/12, the URL will show you all posts for that month. The archive calendar has been updated to use this feature. If you strip off all but the year, the URL will show you a list of months with posts that year. For example, http://perrinelson.com/2006.
