I have set up this little blog using blosxom (from http://blosxom.sourceforge.net). It is an oldish blogging package (in the Internet world, I guess 2003-2005 is getting ancient :-) but I like the fact that it's small, works with simple ASCII text files, and has no dependencies beyond having perl on the system.
The blosxom website also has links to lots of plugins that do useful things, but unfortunately quite a few of the links are now dead.
This is where the Internet Wayback Machine is quite useful. For instance, I was looking for the categorylist plugin, and it had disappeared from the web... well, a quick check in the wayback machine and voilą! the plugin is resurrected from history.
The Internet Wayback Machine isn't perfect, but it does a lot to save the information from the internet and ensure it doesn't just go away.
(Note: some other day, I'll chat about project Guttenberg, another great Internet outpost)
