Well, this site has moved to aftnn.org! I bought the domain a while ago. In intend to make heavy use of Smarty and mod_rewrite to meta-ise everything. Only problem is that mod_rewrite goes into an infinite loop if you rewrite all addresses in a per-directory config! Nuts!

Basically, if your .htaccess has something like

RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php

Just make sure you add a RewriteCond to make sure this isn’t applied to the clever script that’s going to do all the work, index.php in the example. I use the one below, which basically negates the rewrite rule for all files that actually exist (handy for css and images too).

RewriteCond /path/to/webroot%{REQUEST_URI} !-f

Doh!

Anyway, a new look for my weblog and lots more content to come, including the massive backlog of dreams I’ve had since my last post!
